Hibiscus/Monday Mellow Yellows

Yellow and pink hibiscus at my mini garden.

Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect...

Embrace imperfection and find beauty and authenticity in it.

Yellow Hibiscus

I have been stalking my mother's hibiscus since the first bud started to show in late November.  Because the buds were in peach, I was expecting a peach-colored hibiscus.

I was pleasantly surprised when it bloomed into a lovely shade of lemon yellow. 

“Would you like to know your future?

If your answer is yes, think again.

Not knowing is the greatest life motivator.

So enjoy, endure, survive each moment as it comes to you in its proper sequence---

a surprise.” ~ Vera Nazarian

 “One of the most beneficial and valuable gifts we can give to ourselves in this life: is allowing ourselves to be surprised! It is okay if life surprises you. Its a good thing!”

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Be grateful for and celebrate the beauty in all things because beauty is everywhere; and ignore all limitations and boundaries wherever they are found, because they are illusion. ~ David Sanders

I think over again my small adventures,
my fears, those small ones that seemed so big,
all those vital things I had to get and to reach,
and yet there is only one great thing:
to live and see the great day that dawns,
and the light that fills the world.

~ Innuit Traditional Song

Grant me daily the grace of gratitude, to be thankful for all my many gifts, and so be freed from artificial needs, that I might lead a joyful, simple life. ~ Edward Hays
