A Thing of Beauty...

This is a picture of a beautiful, though small, bloom on our hibiscus plant. It has been contemplating whether it would open for a few weeks now and finally decided to share its beauty with the world. A hard decision even for a flower...

We come across so many people who are scared to share their true selves with the world - how unfortunate. This flower looks like no other bloom we've seen from this plant and that makes it all the more beautiful. It is the same with human beings.

There are so many who aspire to be like Britney, Jessica, Ashley...or another superstar athlete, vocalist, etc. Role models are great (though some of the aforementioned celebrities are probably not ideal), but we should approach modeling ourselves after them or anyone else with caution. Can you imagine a world made up entirely of Paris Hiltons? Kind of scary... Thus endeth the philosophical ponderings for today.
