Bloom

The leaves may be falling off the trees in some parts of the country, but in my backyard … pink, yellow and purple bougainvilleas are bursting with color.

Why? It’s time to bloom again. It’s the season. The purple stays in bloom year round, the pink is in bloom most of the time, and the yellow a little less than the pink.

But they all bloom. They are planted, growing, stimulated by dryness and in it’s season … they bloom.

A good legacy will bloom …. Don’t hurry it, just be faithful. Your kids and those you are influencing will remember … so leave a good legacy.

Don’t compare yourself to the purple one … hang in there and don’t let dryness or being in a wilderness discourage you. You will bloom.

Leave a good legacy

Make it Special

Your kids and grandkids will remember the “special” preparation to make something fun.

You can make things special, and it doesn’t cost much. My wife is the best.

Our table for a lunch yesterday had clippings from purple, red and golden bougainvilleas. It was beautiful.

Our grandkids loved a home made pistachio cake. They still talk about a scavenger hunt around our home just taking pictures with a phone.

The kids love looking at themselves in new photos printed monthly (just a few) on a bulletin board around my desk.

Simple, intention “things”, that little eyes remember. I hope for a lifetime.

Make it special and be present to enjoy it with them.

It is your legacy. Leave a good one.
