When even the plants are freaking out
The dark side: Our azaleas have an infestation of spider mites.
The bright side: We have lovely azaleas in our yard. We look forward to every day, so we are happy to take some time to care for our azaleas. We look forward further in anticipation of seeing them prosper in the spring.
The reality: I'm upset that one of the best parts of our new home is sick and I have to come home from work to deal with it, when I'm not even sure if the medicine will cure the illness. I see this as a metaphor, which brings it down many more steps on the proverbial ladder.
The bright side: I have faith. I'm holding on to it with all I've got.
