On the morning that the painters were to come, I snapped a picture of a rose blooming. I had intended to cut it and put it in a vase. I got busy and forgot. Later that day, I found the once pinkish rose was now greenish (our new house color). I was sad for a moment, but then decided that in the name of progress, it was okay. The next morning I went out to check on things and found that rose was again blooming.  It made me smile. I got to thinking, shouldn\u2019t we be like that rose and just keep blooming despite everything that gets thrown our way?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rose <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DE2C881C-CFAB-4DE3-9055-1BEF4B1EFB15-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DE2C881C-CFAB-4DE3-9055-1BEF4B1EFB15-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DE2C881C-CFAB-4DE3-9055-1BEF4B1EFB15-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DE2C881C-CFAB-4DE3-9055-1BEF4B1EFB15-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DE2C881C-CFAB-4DE3-9055-1BEF4B1EFB15-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DE2C881C-CFAB-4DE3-9055-1BEF4B1EFB15-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"891\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-891x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-891x1024.jpeg 891w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-261x300.jpeg 261w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-768x882.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-1337x1536.jpeg 1337w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-1783x2048.jpeg 1783w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/69B7B07B-5CA8-4B03-88AF-1F69C8824595-1920x2206.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/d32a7539-4edb-4067-b224-e8b9c416a488\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A6DC519B-8CB9-4FF1-9913-CE97B2FB4A77-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A6DC519B-8CB9-4FF1-9913-CE97B2FB4A77-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A6DC519B-8CB9-4FF1-9913-CE97B2FB4A77-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A6DC519B-8CB9-4FF1-9913-CE97B2FB4A77-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A6DC519B-8CB9-4FF1-9913-CE97B2FB4A77-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A6DC519B-8CB9-4FF1-9913-CE97B2FB4A77-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/01533C97-2FB2-44C6-BF16-6DC9561CCC28-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/01533C97-2FB2-44C6-BF16-6DC9561CCC28-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/01533C97-2FB2-44C6-BF16-6DC9561CCC28-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/01533C97-2FB2-44C6-BF16-6DC9561CCC28-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/01533C97-2FB2-44C6-BF16-6DC9561CCC28-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/loveyoustrong.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/01533C97-2FB2-44C6-BF16-6DC9561CCC28-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>once more, she bloomed, full of color \ud83c\udf39<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are having some remodeling done at our house, which is why you haven\u2019t heard much from me lately.
