I had a dream to grow a lemon tree from scratch...I tried again and again... Some years I was more successful than others.
Never giving up despite the cold, winter, unpaid bills in a bad spell of hard time, I finally got a tree. Carried from room to flat share, attacked by bugs, yet blossoming this spring, my tree made a lemon. Just the one, which turned ripe and yellow in the middle of winter.
I wonder how, I wonder why...
My tree saw my hard life on its window sill and as I never forgot to bring that dream of him along with me wherever I went, I think he decided to just blossom alongside me.
When I am starting to be fruitful in my own way, having published two of my books this winter, he gave me a lemon. Just a big fat yellow one, that says to me: Don't ever give up, despite however bitter it is out there, you will get there in the end.Up and downs, we all go threw them. Keep walking when down, chin up and look ahead. I just saw my lemon tree blooming last year. His lemon is ripe this year to harvest. This took years of TLC from many up and downs and never giving up. :) Feeling very Zesty now. Vitamin C in my steps.
It is just another lemon tree...
Nop, it is mine. He got the TLC: The Dream fertiliser that grows in your heart and mind, the stamina to fight its bugs and make it happen anyway.
He is my yellow lemon tree and I am proud of him.
Start with a pip and let it grow.
The limit is not the outside world but what you do set for yourself. Don't be bitter, go Zesty!
