Go aloe, go!

I posted a picture this morning of my adorable little aloe plant via Utterz, but who knows when it will show up. The point of the picture is to say that resiliency is a virtue I could use a little more of. The aloe is a great example of what can come from determination, even from the most meager of starts. This plant used to be a single clipping from the much larger momma plant at my old office. The baby plant, who lives on a table near our big front windows, is thriving and getting bigger all the time. It's about 8 different sprigs now. Pretty amazing considering it started from one small clipping.

Every time I get knocked down I should think of how high I can bounce back. Even the tiniest plant trimming can make a whole new plant. So, when I'm feeling low I can choose to grow, or I can choose to shrink. I think I'll choose growth from now on. Certainly seems to be working for little baby aloe.
