This little green anthurium plant has been blooming for 14 months since Brad and Dave gave it to me for Xmas last year. When I got home, three of the flowers had turned yellow. I trimmed off the brown edges and repurposed them!
For Cee’s FOTD prompt.
Wisdom
If the earlier march of our lives is for learning, it is seldom the case that we continue to the end in the cadence of our earlier lives. As we mature, if those around us as well as ourselves are lucky, we continue to learn— but in a different way that is more like a long walk, observing the world around us.. Then comes a time when we float on the iridescence of the world we’ve created by our earlier learnings and decisions.
Prompt words today are iridescence, march, learning and case. Here are their links:

My friend Marti sent me this excellent article that I have to send on to you:
The Morning After
The flowers should have been thrown away weeks ago but I couldn’t give up on them until the last bit of color faded away. So it was with the party. The morning after, its souvenirs still remain.

Transmogrification
Time marches on. It has no instinct to appease.
It will not stop for anything. It has no need to please.
Young girls who start out radiant eventually dim.
Dreams that were fantastical turn nightmarish and grim.
Aging is a truth of life that can’t be circumvented.
It seems we do not own our lives. They simply have been rented.
One day the lease will lapse on them and we’ll have to go
back into the vapors to join the ebb and flow.
That’s how nature plans it. We cannot break the chain.
Our only hope is being recycled again.
Prompt words today are march, radiant, fantastical and appease. Here are the links:
