Christmas has come and gone. The old year has past and
a new one has us thinking of "new beginnings". There are several uses for celery, besides eating, that is. One is to cut it off (see below) and use it to dip the cut end into a little acrylic paint and stamp with it. But here is an alternative, and it will help to provide some longer observation time and not so much "instant gratification" which has, much to our dismay, become such a significant part of our lives.

Yes, the lesson here is that even when we think something should be discarded or just cast aside ... with a little tender love and care, it is possible to have a "new beginning" sprout right before our eyes! This is one of those life lessons that can't be stressed enough.
