Rosebuds

Why?
Why can't our children bloom when WE are damn good & ready for them to blossom? Why must we wait? PERHAPS we shouldn't wait - but rather cultivate. Ahhh. OK. Then - me sceaming-out & demanding proper definsive technique from a 3rd grade hoopster son is not quite proper cultivating? I don't think the mother behind me thought I was 'cultivating'.
Do we WAIT for Marketing investments to bloom OR continually tweak & cultivate? Do we wait for clients to call us back or cultivate? What do you do for your children? I feel so honored and blessed to have 3 opportunities to ahhhh, cultivate, yup that's it. It has taken me personally many, many years to come to the conclusion that despite all the emotion and screaming and raging encouragement - a flower, a beautiful young person - will ONLY bloom when it's time; in their own time. My apologies to our oldest that had to endure my slow learning. He is a gorgeous, kind, hard-working sophomore now, & he felt my wrath on the many courts of life growing up...while tiny teaspoons of wisdom & grace entered his father's soul.
I just wish I had the opportunity to try again with young BB. He is an amazing kid. They are all amazing kids - all children - simply buds preparing to bloom so beautifully. I just gotta find some freakish Miracle Grow to sprinkle on our youngest 'bud' - OR stay the hell away from his basketball games....
