Reach for the light

 See this tiny lavender start? He had a rough start. He’s barely 24 hours old and he nearly died. Due to the uncertainty of our days he was neglected. He was limp and laying flat. I thought for sure he would die due to lack of water. But look at him now. He dug down deep for a drink of refreshing water. He wiggled his roots about to absorb some vital nutrients. He’s just a tiny newborn start but he can teach us a lot. He did not give up. He laid flat, neglected, lonely…but with a little love he realized he could stretch to the light and make it. If he can do it then so can we. Reach for the light, accept and embrace love from others. Reach for the stars. Don’t let the trials of this world get you down. Someday this lavender start will be a full grown plant with beautiful and fragrant flowers. It will spread out to the surrounding areas and beautify it’s world. So can you. We all have an impact on those around us. Smile, love, let your light shine.
