My three new rose bushes were happy, thriving even, when I bought them. Then I brought them home and planted them in new soil with different nutrients than they were used to. They suffered, dropping all of their blossoms and wilting for a few days. They had me worried for a while there.
Over time, the bushes have gotten stronger, and they're even beginning to thrive once again. Perhaps I can take yet another cue from a plant, which is subtly showing me that we can get over anything.
It just takes time.
Great metaphor! We all, eventually, bloom where we are planted.
