I found this picture in my files and the only thing I know about it is when I uploaded it to my laptop: July 15, 2010. It may have been taken in Pennsylvania.

It got me thinking about what belongs and what doesn’t. 80+ temperatures in March. Raisins in hard candy. Parents sitting at home when their kids are playing in a home game. A flower growing out of a cement step.

Determination. That is what this flower means. Don’t give up. Keep trying. You can make it.
