“The optimist sees the rose…”

Posted by unexpectedincommonhours on

When we went away for the weekend there were no blooms on the pink rose bush.  However, a message on Sunday from our neighbor that her daughter had picked one of our roses let us know that blooms appeared while we were gone…

Pink rose

 

“The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose”

~ Kahlil Gibran
