Lush...

Life is lush. I could describe it as 'hectic' but have decided that 'lush' has far more positive connotation. When life pulls us in so many different directions that we think we may completely lose any sense of sanity or calm, it's time to reconsider our outlook.

Lush. Bountiful. Ever-growing, ever-evolving. Full. Thriving and Beautiful.
