The thing about wildflowers

About twice a month my husband and I take a trip to the city, it’s usually fun...we make a few stops and we have lunch together and chat. This last trip we stopped at a McDonald’s for ice cream. Behind this McDonald’s was an abandoned lot. It had a twisted broken down fence and discarded building materials and in between each thing were daisies, hundreds and hundreds of daisies. Wild flowers will pop up just about anywhere, between cracks, in a ditch, at the dump....anywhere. They’re incredibly resilient, they bloom where they are and bring beauty to the world, sometimes they’re surrounded by chaos like traffic or construction, their surroundings are sometimes less then ideal....but there they are blooming anyway. We can all be a bit more like wildflowers, despite our surroundings we can bring beauty to those around us, no matter our circumstances or surroundings we can blossom and share beauty in a world that really needs it. Take the time to look around next time your out and about, nature creeps through the cracks to remind us of hope,

slow down and notice the beauty.
