A beautiful Garden, is a wonderful place! I absolutely love gardens, I have quite a few of them at my home… My favorite one that I started this year is a large wild flower garden.
I am much more interested in starting my garden from seeds and bulbs than I am going and buying flowers and planting them.
There’s something magical about planting the seeds/bulbs and watching them grow… It always amazes me how just a little seed, that you can barely see.. Can turn into something so beautiful and so amazing.
Nature for me is very calming, I not only love to have flowers in my gardens, but I also love to have cut flowers in my home. They are so beautiful and uplifting to see beautiful flowers all around. I especially love it in the winter when it is cold, and in the summer when it honestly, is almost too hot to go outside. fresh Flowers are wonderful all year round.
Many times we associate flowers with love… You see pictures of flowers when you’ll see people promoting love, or you see flowers on greeting cards… when you are sending them to somebody that you love.
Many of our most prominent “love” holidays like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day etc. we really promote sending flowers… To someone to make them feel special.
With everything going on in the world right now… All the anger, all the hate… so many people just telling other people what to think, and how to feel and what to do… I’ve seen people point blank say if you don’t say this, you’re no longer my friend… That’s hurtful because we are all individuals and we all express ourselves differently. In these tough times we need to look for the positives and calming things…. flowers are one such item.
This is especially upsetting to me because Peyton… Being an autistic adult, doesn’t always use words in the way that other people use them… He has seen some of this on social media, and it’s really hurt his heart.
The other day when I was outside in my garden looking at all the beauty and just trying to sit there and calm down… I thought you know we take these tiny little seeds and these bulbs and we plant them in soil, and we nourish them and we water them etc. etc. and they grow into these beautiful flowers.
Wouldn’t it be really awesome, if we as humans, stopped for a few minutes and realized that instead of planting seeds of anger and hatred and distrust… We stopped and listened to one another truly listened… Each one of us has a different life experience, and we can learn so much from that by sharing with others… truly sharing and listening and opening our hearts.
Imagine if we all decided to plant the seeds of love… Of listening… Of compassion… Of understanding… How much better we would feel… How much better we would be… And how much more beautiful the world would be!
I challenge each of you.. every time you see a flower.. to think about where can YOU plant that seed of love,acceptance, understanding, compassion and listening.
Together we can do better, together we can be better,but most of all together we can grow into something beautiful.
As always thanks so much for reading my blog!
Have an awesome and beautiful day!
