In keeping with our tradition of Bday threads, I thought I'd start this one for my sweet 'spirit-twin'...miss Morning Glow! 
Poem: Lessons from a Dragonfly
A dragonfly accepts it’s brevity of life
With its gossamer wings feeling the breeze
Full of freedom it watches our joy and our strife
Its wisdom learned flitting from water to air to trees
With wings that shimmer showing purpose and duty
Obedient to all of life’s changes in flight
Modestly it shows us its outer beauty
Always gracious, mindful and full of delight
So whether what life gives you is good, bad, or sad
Show others that inner beauty counts and matters
Make your actions amount to many smiles and be glad
For the dragonfly knows it lives a brief life this way
So I learn from this creature to live wisely each day
And make every minute special to those that you love
As the dragonfly watches our actions from above
~Ruth O'Neill
note: A dragonfly can spend up to several years underwater until it is strong enough to surface, shed its skin and evolve into this beautiful creature. Then it flies free among us but only for a very brief period of up to 2 months before it dies.
So I guess your cycle to watch for things coming to fruition has to do with that 2 month timeframe...?
Have a wonderful Year, hunny! 
oh, and BTW, that picture looks like it is for sale, cool original art...
= new reply since forum marked as read
You guys make it the best.
MorningGlow! I hope it is a joyous one!
It's been mellow, and that's JUST FINE! 
Those seem very accurate to me! (Except for the special event. None o' that, I'm afraid, except for the takeout Thai food--haven't had that in ages--but that's okay.)
As for the upcoming week, it's time for MORE QUERIES to agents. Fingers crossed. I'm getting this novel published, dammit!
Thanks again!

That was a perfectly beautiful way to start this New Years!

Love and happiness to you as well!
Thank SO much, twin! Lovely artwork and wonderful poem AND great dragonfly info. I never knew that they can live underwater, especially for that long. That really spoke to me--I've felt like I've been living underwater, hiding out, taking a break from the world, for a long time too. Hoping it's time to fly free soon--but I do NOT plan on dying after two months! 
Here's to 2012 for all of us!
May this year be the best one yet for you.
happy new year! 
Lovely piccie! 
Miracles and fun surprises for everybody!
Hope you had/are having/ will have a great birthday and PARTAY!!!11! 
It was a very quiet birthday, but that was just fine. Thai food, wine, cake. 
Hope it's a great 2012 for everybody!
Even though this one is belated.
(FL, LOVE that image!!!!)
MorningGlow-- I hope you had a happy one!
