I found this leaf on the ground and was struck by it's beauty.  It is over 9 inches long from tip to stem and almost totally transparent.

 So thankful for green houseplants during the gray days of winter.  This started out as a wee cutting from a friend a few short years ago and produces gorgeous blooms.

Waiting patiently for warmer days to display baskets of abundant beauty. Not hard to tell I am longing for spring and the changing of this cold and difficult season I am in.

 Missing the real thing, but these metal art sunflowers still bring a smile.

 Day 333

Today was one of the hardest days I have had in a long while . . . a full blown panic attack at work that sent me home early and left me exhausted.  I never took a photo this day so chose one from my New Year's Day visit to the park and played a bit with editing.

Day 334

 Time for a change.  This week I posted the following quote to my FB status . . . "Life does not get better by chance.  It gets better by change."  (Jim Rohn)

Day 335

 My poor little gerbera daisy plant is not flourishing in my office at work.  I have brought it back home and it's happier already.
