🫜☀🌞🌞🌞Deep Roots, Tough Skin, and Blooming Once in a While 🌵

By
Real Estate Agent with Scott Schulte LLC

They say bloom where you’re planted 🌱, but anyone who’s been through a few seasons of life knows it isn’t always that simple. Sometimes, the soil is rocky. Sometimes, the sun is relentless. And sometimes the only thing you can do is hang on and not dry out completely 🌵☀️.

Relationships... the real ones.... take time. Just like the saguaro cactus that takes years to grow a single arm, the strong stuff doesn’t happen overnight. Trust takes time. Forgiveness takes time. And sometimes love sticks around quietly for years before it decides to show its best bloom 💚.

We all go through seasons where connection feels easy. Everyone’s laughing, texting back, showing up on time, saying what needs to be said 📱💬. But there are other seasons too. Quiet ones. Awkward ones. Seasons where people grow in different directions, or not at all.

And still, we stay rooted 🪴.

It takes tough skin to love people through the messy chapters 💪. To have the hard conversations. To forgive someone who never really apologized. To keep reaching for people even when they’ve gone quiet 🤝.

But then, sometimes, it happens. A bloom 🌸. Out of nowhere. A phone call that repairs a friendship. A small gesture that heals something bigger. A new relationship that feels like it’s always been there. These are the moments we hold onto ❤️.

Not every relationship blooms every season. But the ones that matter? They survive the droughts. They keep growing. They find a way 🌿.

If you’ve been showing up for your people, even when it’s not easy, you’re already blooming in ways most don’t see. So, take a breath. Let the quiet work do what it does. And know that somewhere, something beautiful is on the way ✨🌷.

Good morning Scott. We all like the high side when everything is going well. Very few truly know how to survive the droughts and thrive. The true test is drought survival. Enjoy your day.

People come into our lives for a reason, a season or for life, Scott and I wish that some lessons with temporary relationships (weeds) could be skipped for sure. Congrats on being featured in BananaTUDES. This post definitely has that!

Nothing worth keeping comes easy. The fast growth can have complications as witnessed by Jack with his infamous beans.
