Are you dormant?


I was driving to work and as I looked at the brown grass and trees and I started thinking how sad it is to become dormant and I thought to myself is what I see when I look in the mirror? Am I a person that has become dormant?  There are many times when I think about aspects in my life and I feel I am dormant.  Now the meaning of dormant says “not actively growing: in an inactive state, when growth and development slow or cease, in order to survive adverse environmental conditions.”  I think there are times in our lives that we all feel like this and yes possibly these times are necessary, especially when we have economic or family issues. After my adventure to France last year I found a new life within me, a person that I think I was keeping dormant for many years and I kind of like this new person.  I no longer want to be dormant. I want to be consistently growing, learning and changing.  I want to blossom and stay flowering every day, year after year. Trying new challenges and facing the unknown with excitement and anticipation.  To be ever changing you need constant support, just as a flower needs to be watered and tended too, you need to have family and friends that will continue to support you and help you grow.  I know now after the support I have received in building my new career. I will have that support and I only hope that I will continue to make their gardens beautiful.  So when you look into the mirror in the morning, ask yourself are you becoming dormant?  Is there something inside you that you need to water and let flourish.  If there is find those around you that will support you and then let it grow.  I know if I can do this you can too.  I wish you luck, happiness and I hope you allow me to be the first person to put some water on your dream and say “you can do it”.

God Bless and Happy and Safe Travels.
