We have a rainy day here in Southern California; however, it might be good for my plant to get a break from the heavy sunlight we have been getting lately.  This is where I have moved my plant to.  It is about 2 feet away from the window and should get less direct sunlight.  My leaves tend to be bright yellowish green, and I am wondering if by moving my plant further from the window, I might get darker green leaves.  I think the hard direct sunlight is kind of bleaching the leaves to be a lighter green than normal.  We shall see!

Southern California is leading into the season of LOTS OF LIGHT!  I might end up needing to move my Wax Plant into the corner of my room so it gets a little less direct light.  I have approached my plant multiple times this weeks feeling its pot and dirt very warm.  Maybe too warm.  I don't want to cook this dear thing =)  But look how quickly these two front leaves have grown in 1 1/2 weeks.  Just plain neat how quickly this plant grows.

Sometimes, we see resemblances in small things that encourage us to continue on in our efforts.  Today, I saw these two new leaves in the back of my Wax Plant and thought they reminded me of ballerina dancers.  This is a photograph I took of ballerina dancers during a performance from http://www.heartsinstepdance.org/  This life is so beautiful, and sometimes we are just dancing, stretching out toward the light.  It is beautiful to watch this plant dance and reach the sunlight for growth.  Hopefully we can all do that in our own lives.  Reach for the light, so we can see in the dark places in life.
