Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

I am with Sherry. The warm and loving gardeners are balm for my soul – but the others educate me. Sometimes just in what not to do, who not to become – but that is important too.

I would never have thought of this the way you both do and I am glad for the chance it gave me to look at it in a different manner

I agree with this too…learning what “not” to do or how “not” to be and learning from that to grow myself…and those who frown? I always feel they need to be reached…to be heard and listened to because the frown is there for a reason…

This is a shot I love because of the back light of the sun on the frosted weeds. I am glad you came to see it Vicky 🙂

Lovely quote…and you know, sometimes (and that’s only sometimes!) I’m grateful to those who make me frown too — they may not be like a beautiful garden and are more like the weeds…but they also water my soul…just in a different way! xo

Hmmm, that is quite an interesting and wise way to see those who make us frown Sherry. I am going to think this over today. xo

I see it like this — if I didn’t have the “weeds” to make me appreciate the truer beauty in the garden, then I wouldn’t know that the blooming in my soul was truly possible. xo
