"You only see the top of a lily, but if you pull the lily pad out of the water, it has roots and tangled weeds and all the stuff that comes with it."

Life is a roller coaster, not a boring old merry-go-round. Would you like to ride a roller coaster or a boring old merry-go-round, never going anywhere? I saw that somewhere also. Saw that years ago and it has stuck with me, and I still wonder about the answer :)
DeleteI so love these....I never tire of seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Rose, I always feel good when I see them :)
