To Becoming

I came back to my desk just now to find these beautiful flowers and a misspelled note from my mom (via 1800flowers). What a beautiful and day-brightening gesture. The blooms are magnificent, and there's something quite mysterious about the typo-ed note. I'd like to interpret it as a call to be my better self. I'm not her just yet. I've got some growing to do. But, here's looking at using this season to become.*

*This is a borrowed statement from my favorite and oft-reread portion of this article by Shauna Niequist. The whole thing is poignant, but skip down to the "Don't get Stuck" paragraph to dig into this reference.

Love that Shauna Niequist article. Just re-read it thanks to this post. :) Also, aren't moms the best?
