‘Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower’ John Harrigan
I get very excited if my plants begin to flower, mainly because it’s a rare occasion in my house! However, when I understood the effort, energy and the time it takes for a plant to process a flower, I appreciated it more.
In order to complete the flower life cycle stage of growth, plants have to produce their own food. Plants contain chloroplasts in the leaves which convert the energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into sugars, which they use as food. After a while, flower buds develop. Some plants flower within days while it takes others months or even years.
If we want to blossom and succeed in life, we have to be prepared to walk through the process of change and growth and learn to nurture and nourish our body and minds along the way. It isn’t an easy process, but with patience and discipline, you will discover that the buds and flowers of the future, grow from what you do today.

may you bloom

And you too David 🌸🌸🌸
Beautiful read, Karen and yes happiness is like a seed in its shell but once it grows in a flower it flows everywhere. A lovely post.
Beautifully said Kamal. Thank you 🌸🌸
Welcome Karen.
It isn’t easy. And let the buds bloom. Bring spring on!

You are a beautiful example Carrie 🌸🌻🌺

Yeah, it’s the discipline part that’s so hard, haha!
Worth it, if I can just make myself do the things I know are good for me!
Seems I go through phases of taking really good care….and taking a break from it all, which is self care too, I guess.
Everything in moderation, including moderation. 🙂 ❤
I think we all do this Mary, flowing and ebbing in and out of it all! Everything in moderation yes! 🌸🌈🌸
Lovely post and a great analogy with the growth cycle of plants. Very clever. Well done.
Thank you Anita 🌸🌈🌸
A lovely reminder to nurture and nourish today. Spring will be here and we must be ready to grow and bloom 🌱🌷🌱
You are the spring within Val 🌸🌼🌺🌻
Karen, Love the post.
God teaches us so much about ourselves and directs us to fullness through the nature that he has put before us. All we need do is observe.
