I appreciate growth, even when it’s not me personally doing the growing. Some years I look back and think I could have done more. I learn from friends. You keep growing and I’ll keep watching and maybe if I watch closely enough for long enough some of it will rub off on me.
A few Christmases ago, this baby amaryllis in a warm spot on the tall writing table by a window in my Mill Valley kitchen was obviously eager to demonstrate how it’s done.
If I recall, she turned out to be a tall redhead with a lot of attitude. I could learn a lot from her.
