Blooming is defined as “opening in blossoms, flowering.” “ Thriving in health, beauty, & vigour; indicating the freshness & beauties of youth or health.” Whenever I think of the word “Blooming”, I think of wonderful blossoms of pinks & reds bursting with life, opening up to reveal beauty & splendour. That’s why I think this is [...]
