Peaking

In May, I received this plant from a teacher friend. It bloomed beautifully throughout the summer laden heavily with bright pink blooms. But come September, it started to falter. It had peaked. Throughout life, we all have our peaks and plateaus. Just last night I watched my kids do their homework at the kitchen table. Kate was truly at a peak having been called out during class as an example of how to write a paper. Peter had a tougher day struggling with decimals. I told him to look at it like getting a flat tire that he would have to fix if he wanted to get to his destination.  Sometimes to reach our peak we need some help from the people around us. Over the past two months, I watched my husband bring this plant back to life. He cut it back to its base and patiently nurtured it with water and lots of sunlight.  He watched it grow taller and begin to bud.  I would venture to say that he was cheering it on somehow. Because of him, this geranium has peaked again and once again we can see its colorful blooms.  Help someone peak and the reward is yours.
