"There came a time when ..."

I was at Albertson's last night picking up some groceries and a prescription. Had to while away some time until my prescription was ready so I walked around the store and stopped at the card aisle. I love reading cards and can spend an endless amount of time in a card shop. If I don't have a reason to buy a card, I'll find one:) As I went up and down and across the neatly lined shelves, something caught my eye. I luv daisies (even more than roses) so I wasn't surprised this particular card had caught my attention. But as I looked at it and took it in some more, I realized the true reason I had stopped midway through my card routine...

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin

This quote could not sum up my thoughts and where I'm at with things right now any better! No wonder I stood still in the middle of a busy store taking it all in :)

Women at work have been telling me I look happy and have a twinkle in my eye. They attribute it to the trip I just took around the southwest. To some degree they're on point. But there's far more than meets the eye...
Regardless, my gut validates my thought that it's time to start and follow through with that blossoming process... personally and professionally!
