Do you ever feel that your life will begin some time in the future? Whether you want to move to another city, are waiting for your children to grow up, want to get married/remarried, or maybe you’re holding out on life until you have more cash, the phrase “bloom where you are” can help you make it through times when you feel like your life is truly going to begin later.

My father’s play was golf. To avoid being a golf widow, my mother played too. That left me a golf orphan, but I refused to learn the game. Instead, I watch it on television. For me the slow pace and the announcers’ whispering are relaxing. Tiger Woods may have been credited with the spike in golf’s popularity, but there are other factors. Golf doesn’t have free agency, professional golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how well they play and they don’t scratch their private parts on camera.
