Patience

I bought an orchid at Ikea in January. It bloomed gorgeously for 3 months. When the flowers started dropping off I wanted to throw it away, but the plant was still healthy. I put it in the bathroom. My friend just posted on facebook how sometimes it takes up to 3 years for an orchid to bloom again, but you just have to take care of them in the mean time. You must be patient to reap the rewards. Life's profound teachings come from unexpected places. I needed that today.
