FLOWER QUOTE: PATIENCE IS NOT SIMPLY
December 04, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it’s how we behave while we’re waiting… Having patience is not necessarily my strong suit. With that said, I’m in complete agreement with this quote, as I will reflect on myself and am often disheartened by my lack of patience. I liken patience to growing a garden or forcing bulbs inside during the winter time. You put in the hard ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: CHRISTMAS ISN’T A SEASON
November 27, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling. I tried to find where this quote came from, meaning if it was from one of Ferber’s books or plays or if it was something she said outside of her writing, but to no avail. No matter though, it’s a lovely and simple quote, and yet complex at the same time. Wishing you the warm and joyful feeling of Christmas. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Edna F...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: IF YOU HAVE A GARDEN
November 20, 2017
MY TWO CENTS If you have a garden and a library... what more could one want, but food and love. This quote reminds me to appreciate what I have and not want for more than flowers and reading, as they can fill my days gladly. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Marcus Tullius Cicero was a lawyer, scholar, writer and statesmen of Rome. He was born in 106 bc and was beheaded in 43 bc. He wrote numerous letters to ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: A FLOWER BLOSSOMS
November 13, 2017
MY TWO CENTS A flower blossoms for its own joy…Sounds like a poet wrote this (and one did), and one who must have known his own joy in his quest to write. So, I will pose the question to you: If you were to picture yourself standing in a garden with your feet reaching into the earth as your roots and your legs as your stem, where are you in the process of blooming? Are you at the beginning stag...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: GRATITUDE IS THE FAIREST BLOSSOM
November 06, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul… With Thanksgiving and the holiday season coming, I find it’s very easy to get caught up in the hubbub of the season. So, maybe that is why it is so appropriate that Thanksgiving comes first, to remind us of all that we each have so much to be thankful for. I would like to say gratitude comes easy to me, but I’m sorr...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: TO BE HERE IS GLORIOUS
October 30, 2017
MY TWO CENTS To be here is glorious... Rob Bell said on one of his podcasts, The RobCast, “to be here is glorious” and ever since I heard him say that I created a reminder to read this quote everyday, as it is so true. With having said that, I do struggle with having that very grateful and appreciative attitude, but in reflecting, I believe that has to do with the fact that being present is ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: LET US BE GRATEFUL
October 23, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Thank you…Admittedly, I have not read any of Marcel Proust’s writings, and having researched his life, I’m not so sure where this lovely quote would have emanated from. I will say, though, if this is a refection of his writing as a novelist, I should definitely take time ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: ALMOST EVERY PERSON, FROM CHILDHOOD
October 16, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Almost every person, from childhood, has been touched by the untamed beauty of wildflowers… I do hope everyone as a child or as an adult has had the chance to experience a wildflower or a field of wildflowers. For me, reading this quote brings me back to those times of experiencing the wonder of wildflowers as a child. That feeling is one I want to reflect on and take hold of so th...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: ATTENTION IS THE RAREST AND PUREST FORM
October 09, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity…The author, Simone Weil, lived too short of a life, but she also lived way before cell phones were even a concept. So to think that during her lifetime she wrote this quote, it must have meant that even without cell phones it was still a challenge to get or give attention and be totally aware of the person(s) you were with. And ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: THE LOVE OF GARDENING
October 02, 2017
MY TWO CENTS The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies… At times, toward the end of the gardening season here in New England, I’m ready to take a break, but I also know that throughout the winter I will dream about my gardens for the coming year. During the winter I will also enjoy planning my cutting garden along with forced bulbs and plants inside to keep that touch of natur...
