Finally, after all the Rejections, it is all done

Tweet

Hello All, Johannes Kepler, Copernicus and many many others and me now have something in common - We all were rejected initially and finally accepted. The only major difference - I was accepted during my lifetime So, it all started with some discussions on Gardening - and especially one from dear friend @Rosekitty - where I promised to have some veggies planted. We stay at a rented place, and only have some space on the terrace and about 16 flower pots that we have since years now. We had some flowers, aloevera and basil on them and over years, the pots had lost their glamor. Last week, I had planned to start coloring them. And this is what was objected and rejected by everyone in my real world. Some considered it a waste of time, other said, I have lost my mind and some even said that I have nothing else to do in my life Mother nature started playing it bad too - last week there was almost no sunshine, a cloudy overcast and some drizzles to dampen my desire. Anyways, despite all objections and rejections, I did what I wanted to. All 16 of them cleaned, colored and dried. I have got 4 up already - with an aloevera, a basil, and two other flowers. I have also filtered out the earth that was in these 16 and now, I have some bigger gravel to put at the bottom and top and a fine gravel that goes in between as I start planting some tomatoes and cauliflowers in them. Seeing the end results, now, almost all around are happy. And I have been told that they never had thought that the final result (of coloring and filtering) would look so good. And a good thing now is that my brother's wife plans to do same for the pots at her place So where is the discussion? Okay here it comes - Have you believed in something so deep that you chased it despite being called names and rejections? Pic is of the unused flower pots that were drying in the sun.
