Bonsai Me

When Pilgrim was here in early December, he took one look at my bonsai tree and proclaimed that my life was out of balance.

As you can see in the above header picture, Ziah is just barely hangin' in there, though she is trying to look her holiday best. I guess entertaining and redecorating and change are a bit much for her.

Maybe now that the bathroom project is mostly done, and Christmas is pretty much past, she can concentrate on growing new leaves and nurturing their development. Maybe now she can get it together and stop worrying about everything and start doing something and quit wasting time feeling sorry for herself. Move forward and chin up.... Life goes on, Ziah. It does. The kids grow up, they move out, you move on. There's a lot of learning left to do and opportunity is just outside the door (and in the kitchen).

Come on Ziah, girl. You can do it!

I dare not elaborate on my own "green thumb" (or lack thereof).

What fun!

Happy New Year,
Kathleen

Ziah, that one gold ornament reminds me just a bit of the Charley Brown tree! I feel a dormant spring in you. By the way, I love the new bathroom! Aren't you thrilled??

Kim said...

I think we're all a little off balance from the holidays. Hope Ziah bounces back. Heidi too :-)

Edie said...

I'm relating to Ziah, but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!

Many blessings on you and yours for the new year my sweet friend!

That ornament looks cute on Ziah but I'm wondering if she's trying to carry too large a load. *wink*

Cast your cares on Him and He will sustain you.

Okay I'm done. :)
