Christmas Cactus blooms in a timely fashion and recalls far away PA friends

Bloom / blossom is defined as: 
the state of flowering, to flourish or thrive, to glow with warmth.

I have a tiny little Christmas cactus that is now blooming away! You can see it is indeed in the state of flowering.

This particular gem comes from the state of Pennsylvania. In the short time I lived there, which I sometimes categorize as not a wise decision in my life, I met some extraordinary friends. I also adopted this tiny little plant. It has indeed thrived and flourished in its travels with me back to the Quiet Corner. So nice to see that Putnamania has a great affect on all things living!

This plants makes me glow not only for the obvious beauty I see in the blossoms, but for the good people I met in PA and still keep in touch with by email, facebook, or old fashioned letter writing. It is easy to get mad at myself for making what I sometimes think of a foolish move in my life. However, what would I do now without having met these folks?

I am a Putnamaniac who misses some fine Pennsylvania folks, and they all live through me every day!

A big shout out to each of you:
Charleen (who was like a mom to me) & the Weis crew, Shan (devilishly fun), Trish the Dish (so true), my bombshell (miss her and our rides to and from work sooo much),  Paul (who is now following his dreams), Brenda (sweetest ever), Amber (gorgeous and smart), Laura (a kindred New England spirit), Rodney (fun, fun, fun), Kelly-Kelly-Kelly (an expecting momma), Nicole (another expecting  momma), Andrew (a fine inspirational young man), Brandi (counting down the days to a new baby-what is in the water in Central PA?), Christy (beautiful smile), Jackie (so capable and smart), Tim (always with a smile even coming into the 3rd shift- perhaps because he was hoping for some of Brenda's treats), Bob & Sandi up in Wilkes-Barre, and even to Dave, who was a big part of the decision to move to PA, and then to quickly move back to CT.
Everything happens for a reason...even if it is not evident to us right way, if ever.
