May 13

I've been in a funk lately, so I took a walk with Abby this evening to clear my head a bit. At one point, my attention was drawn to this:

A single vibrant petal still clinging to its base.

I feel like the remains of this rose sometimes, especially on the days when I feel down and demotivated. Damaged, but still connected to its life source -- the rest of the rose bush. So for that, I'm grateful.
