Bloom Where You Are Planted

H/t to my friend, Nancy Griswold in Bradford, VT, for the idea for this blog entry.

At a certain point, I stopped wishing I could travel out to the great places (like Nancy's stomping ground in northern New England), and instead, just "BLOOM WHERE I AM PLANTED." I can't even make the tiny jump across Nantucket Sound, due to my family obligations and daily schedule. I spent YEARS foolishly waiting for the "right circumstances."

So instead of waiting any longer for what I wanted, I finally started gratefully making the most of what I actually have, here in Easton, Massachusetts. And, wonder of wonders, the sun shines just as beautifully in my humble little town as it does anywhere else.

Lesson learned. ☦
