Thoughts To Brighten Your Day

Spring is a time for growth

Keep growing

 

Seasons are a time for transformation

Make dramatic transformations

 

Citrus makes us healthy

Stay healthy

 

As the sun rises

Rise

 

 

The inspiration for these words came about from a walk through the Dallas Arboretum where this branch seemed to reach down and touch me. I just had to take a picture. Until today I never thought what a significant contribution flowers and trees bring to mankind leaving lasting impressions. And it all stems from planting a seed and then it grows. Is there anything more astonishing than new growth? One thing I feel certain of is this flower didn't just jump out at me, it was planted there for people like me to take notice. And I was so moved, reminded that our purpose here on earth is to keep growing.  

 

I don't believe we need drugs or be chemically induced with sleep aids or prescription drugs. Medicinally planted here on earth are plants that make us happy just by sight or smell. Touching, in my opinion is not permitted. If happiness can boost endorphins serotonin naturally, than why not get out and enjoy more flowers?  If there are better ways to heal the body, mind and soul than perhaps we should all get outdoors more to enjoy the beauty of spring and let plants get into the fiber of our soul.

Gita Bantwal I just love spring and summer so much. Everything seems to come alive and my vision is clear when there is living creation in my sight of view. I hope spring comes soon to the people of Pennsylvania and that you find it to be an especially healing time in your life too. To the cold I say, be gone!

Truly these are thoughts to brighten a day, Patricia (even one as grey and overcast as we have in Charlotte today). Your picture is beyond beautiful!

Nina Hollander - We have an overcast this morning too. That's why I enjoyed my day at the Arboretum when I had a chance. Never take anything for granted is the message I get from nature during the birth of spring. I'm glad to know my thoughts have brightened your day. Be happy!

Enjoy the colors of the season with your camera in hand.

We made a Saturday day trip to Longwood Gardens.

Seasons are a time for transformation

Roy Kelley - I think it's safe to say Longwood Gardens is a save haven. It's wonderful you chose it to spend your day. That's the beauty of choice. We can choose how to spend our time wisely and continue to transform within. Happy Sunday!

Michael Jacobs - Happy Sunday! Good thoughts and words, mixed in with the birth of new buds in spring gives us just the right amount of oxygen to feel better about ourselves. If there is such a thing as sin, then the greatest sin on earth is to ignore springs beauty. A funny thing happened while I was photographing this plant. While focusing on my camera to zoom in on getting just the right photograph, I didn't realize I was drawing a crowd and the people spoke, and I listened. We had great conversations in the gardens. May you rise to occasion and follow the "push."

What a gorgeous blossom, no wonder it spoke to you. And opened doors for more conversations with others who celebrate the simple gifts of Nature. Have a wonderful day, Patricia. D

I would give anything if Sacramento had a world class arboretum.  Alas, we do not, our city seems more focused on building one kind of stadium or another.

I do believe you speak with wisdom.  We should be seeking those things in life that make us happyy and I don't know a soul that doesn't smile at a beautiful flower.

Patricia Feager  I agree I love flowers  .. When I am at the mart I always purchase some flowers to  brighten up my home .  People always want to know who my secret admirer is ???   I do not understand why they are surprised when I tell them me

Beautiful post Patricia, I miss your enlightenment as contribution to a  purposeful life.

Imagine a world where it is discovered that life really is ...an experience about your own contributions.. a full circle around a life ...to find that meeting yourself with nature... was what you were looking for all along...

This is why no one pays admission fees....to see a rainbow
