FLOWER QUOTE: THE BEST TIME TO PLANT A TREE
April 23, 2018
MY TWO CENTS The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now… With Arbor Day* on Friday, April 27th in the United States, this felt like the perfect reminder to plant a tree. It would be a wonderful way to honor Arbor Day and to take the time to give back to the earth as it constantly gives to us. What is your favorite tree and what are you going to plant this Arbor ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: LIFE IS LIKE A FLOWER
April 16, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Life is like a flower, it grows into something beautiful…I, too, believe that both life and flowers grow into something beautiful. It takes effort, though, nurturing and giving loving care both to yourself and your flowers. I hope you take some time this week to give yourself some loving care, so you can see your life grow into something beautiful. ABOUT THE AUTHOR I was unable...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: EVERY EXPERIENCE NO MATTER HOW BAD
April 09, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it…When dealing with a challenging situation, it's often so much easier to see how hard and difficult it is. The feeling of ‘woe is me’ attitude. The truth is that no matter how bad it may seem, there is always something to gain strength and to grow from it. Like this cac...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: FLOWERS LEAVE SOME
April 02, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them… One interpretation of this quote is that there is no act of kindness that goes unrewarded. I read it to mean more or less the same, that by giving, it is amazing what you can receive back. I know by sharing flowers you will always be giving a smile and receiving one too. When was the last time you gave someone a s...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: THE DEEP ROOTS
March 26, 2018
MY TWO CENTS The deep roots never doubt spring will come…For me, this quote is more than a quote about spring coming. It’s the reminder to believe, even in toughest and darkest times (as winter can feel like), that there is the spring that follows: light, beauty and renewal. It’s also a helpful quote for me as I look out and see more than a foot of snow covering the ground. I do know spring...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: ALL THROUGH THE LONG WINTER
March 19, 2018
MY TWO CENTS All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar…I have a feeling with the cold, snowy weather of late, that I will not be able to dig my fingers into the earth as it won’t be so soft. But I will look forward to the next day, close thereafter, to be able to do so. I...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: THE BUTTERFLY IS A FLYING FLOWER
March 12, 2018
MY TWO CENTS The butterfly is a flying flower, The flower a tethered butterfly… I see this featured flower above, Flight of Butterflies Iris, as a tethered flower. Its petals move as if it could take flight any second. And how delightful and wondrous is this quote, to see the butterfly as a flying flower and to see the flower as a butterfly about to take flight; it makes me see flowers differen...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU
March 05, 2018
MY TWO CENTS "May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand."… I have heard this blessing many times and have always appreciated it. It’s a very thoughtful quote from the person saying it to the person it’s bestowed up...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: NORMALITY IS A PAVED ROAD
February 26, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it…How apropos from a famous artist who painted flowers, among many other subjects, to give such thoughtful words: to remind us not to be part of the status quo, but to walk where it may be rocky or challenging; to find that wandering off the comfortable, paved road is worth the risk; to truly live your l...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: IN WISDOM GATHERED
February 19, 2018
MY TWO CENTS In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration…That is how we grow and learn and grow some more and truly experience life. What beautiful words Ansel Adams has shared, along with his amazing photography. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ansel Easton* Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was born in a neighboring town of San Francisco, CA. He ...
