Be kind -------------

I played with my roses yesterday, taking photos of what I now consider

 the perfect flowers. They were part of my Valentine bouquet from Bob. 

Although now wilted, I'm continuing to dry them because they are so beautiful. 

Their very rosy pinkness has faded now to what I consider true dusty rose. 

Along with a tinge of rust, they are perfect and should remain this way for some

 months before the petals start to fall, scattering silently across the table.

The quotation seems appropriate. More compassion is needed in
today's often sorry world. Too many wilted hearts struggle to find 
answers.  Be kind, be compassionate, make this beautiful world 
a good place.
