So, apparently, 30 continuous days of gratitude just wasn't doable....
But, I'm getting right back on the blog and continuing.
Today, my son and I walked by the most gorgeous bougainvillea.
It grows so well in our desertish climate here in Temecula.
I had to just stop and stare.
I love how hearty, strong and vibrant it is.
Fierce, but delicate vines just embrace whatever it's growing up or down or around.
Reminds me of the kind of women I want to be.

Gorgeous! Have a wonderful Sunday!
What a wonderful comparison. Vibrant-strong-hearty... sounds like a person I could call my friend.
the woman you ARE, my friend!
That is a lovely comparison - blooming where you're planted indeed, I'd say.
Reminds me of the kind of woman you are!!!!!! Beautiful flowers. I love how they grow.
Oh wow, well said. Such a beautiful and determined flower, or is it a vine? Anyway, well put. I like the gratitude idea.
Lots of yummy love,

Gorgeous!!
One of my favorites, too - I can't seem to keep one alive, though!! Nice post & nice imagery.
Have a happy (and grateful) weekend!!
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate these posts. Sometimes when I get down in the dumps I know I have to pull myself up and focus on the little things that make life great. These flowers are a perfect example of how to see the best in life.
hi! Just following over from your excellent Saturday post on SITS. Great suggestions! I love your blog and cannot believe you live in Temecula! We live in Austin, TX but spent a year in orange county and are trying desperately to move back to the SD area....Temecula is one of the places we're targeting!
Just found the SITS webpage and let me just say THANK YOU! The site is awesome and I've already had a new visitor leave a comment on my blog!
So again, THANKS! :)
Beautiful!
Gorgeous!!

you know what I first thought of when you talked about the beauty of the bougainvillea -?? the wicked thorns ... there's something to your woman/analogy in that too! :D So Ca is perfect for bougainvillea - we are swimming in it right now!

Holy spamtasticallness! Ew!
Anyways, Hi there! Been doing SITS for a while and just finally found your personal blog. (For shame, I know) It's adorable!! :) Will be following.
Beautifully said... but I agree with the others, you surely ARE already that woman, hon. :-)
I love bougainvillea. Thinking about putting it in some planters on the balcony of my house. But it's in North Florida, and I wonder if it stays warm enough through the winter for it. Anyway, it's gorgeous.
I like that - fierce, delicate, embracing and gracefully dexterous! I want to be like that! Beautiful post!

Tiffany, how beautiful, inspiring, and empowering. I'm a huge fan of bougainvillea, and will forevermore remember your metaphor whenever I see it! Have a lovely week! Jenn
Visiting from the SITS site. 30 days is definitely a long time, :) but I love your Gratitude posts. I'm glad you decided to continue. Have an awesomely blessed Tuesday!!
Great post!! Love the description.
WOW! Those anonymous comments above me are scary! Never seen that before! I LOVE your writing style! And your attitude of gratitude! I try to do a gratitude post at least once a week to remind me that there is a LOT of beauty in my world!
