The Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel have been beautiful this year but Summer brings on the end to the beautiful blooms.  I sometimes wish that they would be at peak bloom for ever.  But that's unrealistic.  Everything has to go through it's cycle.  Sometimes in a dormant state, sometimes growing and sometimes blooming.
    I'm often like that with people.  I can have an unrealistic expectation for people to continually be at a peak state of being.  I want them to be their most kind and beautiful all the time.  It's a selfish expectation.  We people go through cycles in life just like everything else.  We are sometimes blooming and beautiful, sometimes dormant but most always growing.
