What have you learned?

RockOn · 06-06-2012, 07:49 PM

... I do not think I have a knack for growing flowers.

Thought I would try to do something different. Decided I would grow calla lilies to give to friends when they grew to pretty. I was so excited.

All twenty-something came up and are lushy green. Kelly Bully dog dug up, chewed a few bulbs to pieces and something came in the night - ate a couple more but still had plenty.

I do not know why they will not make at least one flower.
It has been 6 or 8 weeks I think ... or maybe five.

I had envisioned making people happy when I distributed them.

I continue watering, fertilizing - taking care of them.

I think I am a butch with silly dreams. Oh well, not the end of the world by any means.

I have learned not to attempt to grow any more flowers.

Don't give up yet....callas take 3 or 4 months to bloom. They'll get there!

as soon as you say that you are going to be celibate,

comes flying at you from every direction.............

if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and looks like a duck... She's a whore

as soon as you say you want to diet, a new flavor of ben and jerry's comes out

just when you think you have all the bills paid, something comes up

as soon as you swear off blonde blue-eyed scorpio yankee women, one steals your heart................

There is a good reason why we don't begin life with the knowledge we gain along the way.

Each day is special and best lived well rather than avoided.

I enjoy long hugs and lingering kisses.

Deep, intimate conversations are the best.

When I realized I had awakened spiritually I found I was avoiding conflict and negativity at all cost. I had to learn there is a big difference between those and the grief process and simply feeling. I thought I had to be above negative emotions. Who'dathunk it. lol. I am glad I figured it out.

I can feel my emotions and either let them over take me or I can process them and let it go.

"Good girls" DO get angry, they cry, they need, they deserve and they can desire. It was lie I was taught as a child that it was not okay.

I like who I am.

I have learned that if anyone attempts to keep you from a hug, they need to rethink who they are as an individual. We all need to be touched and a hug is gate wood to peace.

JustJo, I appreciate your encouraging words. Thank you.

I think I was a little down after work yesterday when I went out and examined those no-bloom callas and decided I had failed.

Bet you are right and I will get lots of calla blooms to share around town by late summer. They are taking longer than I expected is all.
