Happy New Year!

May you have enough happiness to keep you happy.

Enough trials to keep you strong.

Enough sorrow to keep you human.

Enough hope to keep you thoughtful.

Enough failure to keep you humble.

Enough success to keep you eager.

Enough friends to give you comfort.

Enough faith and courage in yourself to banish

depression.

Enough wealth to meet your daily needs.

Enough determination to make each day a better day

than yesterday.

It has been some time since I lasted posted.  I have been busy and not very motivated to post this time of year as not much is happening. That will now change as the New Year is upon us and so is the Winter Solstice. Do not depsiar for the days are slowly getting longer!

Soon I embark on my trip to the Easten Cape of South Africa. This trip has been a year in the making and I await it with a calm and excitement; a chance for me to see my beloved plants in their natural habitat. More precisley to botanize with the best of them.  I will have lots of goodies for future posts once I return from this botanically rich country that is sure to hypnotize and captivate me.
