We have this purple plant...I forget what it's called. My DP is the plant guy, so I pay little attention. Anyway, this thing was neglected through the winter as we were otherwise focused on me and my "issues". The poor thing wilted to a few dry branches, nothing. But my DP refused to give up and watered it anyway. Lo and behold...it bloomed.

Now, I'm not a "miracles" kind of guy. I don't need to believe G*d brought it back to life, as I'd prefer he work in Darfur on a few starving orphans. But it did remind me that anything is possible in nature. My DP didn't give up on me and it appears I blossomed. So did the plant.

Thus ending my botanical analogies for the remainder of the day, I remain,
