This past week in another blog I write for I participated in a meme where the theme was hope. I thought the choice for the theme was perfect for starting off the brand new year, and will share a bit of that same entry with you here today. I know that many of you who are regulars here may not have seen the original.

I got this tropical flowering plant several years ago from my grandmother's funeral. It was part of a large basket of planets, and my uncle gave it to me. When the initial flowers fell off a couple of weeks after the funeral they never grew back. No matter what I tried including moving its location, special plant food, etc, nothing seemed to work in getting it to flower.

Then in a weird bit of coincidence guess what I saw on the morning of Christmas eve! I say these tiny flowers are a good representative of hope.....and hope is a wonderful blessing to start out the new year with.

Happy New Year 2009, and thank you for stopping by!
