This beauty bloomed on my birthday and I felt a kinship with it. After most of the flowers had already told their Spring stories, this one saved its petals for a later date - like me!
We love to celebrate the “first”s and the “youngest”s but that doesn’t mean that purpose ends at 40. For me, my life really came into focus in the last decade and I truly believe my best years are ahead of me.
Bloom where you’re planted and in your own time.
