All About Daisies

This morning I read this post on Frogstr. I have not feared the publish button. Oh my! I have so many fears about this blog and most things in general, and I forgot to fear the publish button. Yikes!

As Tevye would say “On the other hand” I am not worried about attracting subscribers or winning a Nobel Prize for writing on my blog.  I am sure I have never written a perfect post. If I waited for perfect this would all be blank.

To answer frogstr, yes I always review my posts before publishing because I want to be sure spelling and grammar are at least acceptable to me.

Today is my last day in Wisconsin for 2008. Tomorrow we move to our home in Florida. We are enjoying all the fall colors while we can. Barb has a wonderful blog post about fall. Read it at this link. Her blog is a wonderful peaceful read. I could quote it here, but then you might miss the experience of her site.

In my garden there is one lonely tenacious daisy, hanging on to life with drying stems all around her. I would like to be more like her. I would like to think that I will cling to all that life has to offer. To lift my face to the sun and smile every day. To keep blooming when all around me is dismal. To not worry because all the roses are still vibrant and my siblings have fallen away.

I have no real garden in Florida but my house is filled with images of daisies. I will be reminded of my metaphor daily. As I use my daisy dishes, or the view the lovely daisy photos on the walls, etc.  What triggers your thoughts to turn to your life?
