Just different. . .

Do you ever feel like you just don't fit in and maybe are a little different than everyone else? Maybe instead of feeling out of place, when we feel this way, we need to realize that we simply have a different type of beauty. No one person (or flower) is prettier or more amazing than the other - just different.

Addie brought a small flower home from school in a paper cup last May. . . We planted it along with our other flowers for the front of our house and weren't even sure it was going to make it. This is what has happened in the last week or so. It took it's own time to bloom, changed colors 3 times, from red, to yellow to a beautiful orange. Perhaps it was simply trying to decide who or what it wanted to be and only bloomed when it felt ready and comfortable. It was definitely worth the wait. That flower is my favorite out of the many planted on our front porch. Unique and magnificent. . .
