Appreciate Life as it Happens...

... Moments will soon pass, and you will wish you had treasured them more.

 

This little succulent plant was given to me several years ago by my mother, who was in her late 80’s at the time.

 

I didn’t want to hurt my mother's feelings, so I humored her by putting it in a pot and sticking the pot in a remote corner of my back yard. I figured the plant would die shortly and I wouldn’t need to care for it any longer.

 

As with many of the things I have taken for granted in my life, turned out that my Mother was the one to die, not the little plant. I've learned to appreciate life as it happens.
