Dear Reader:
I was so excited yesterday morning when I went to sadly clean out the moonflower seed planter that the squirrels had destroyed … pulling up every seed and green shoot plus knocking over the planter ( added salt in the wound) several weeks back.
I decided to clean it out and plant some wildflower seeds instead… but when I got there… two green leaves were smiling at me with one tendril reaching for the lattice to start climbing. One had survived! Happiness is…
Then to add more happiness… one of the mandevillas I bought turned out to be a trumpet climbing vine mandevilla so I cleaned off a trellis and moved it over to start climbing beside the fence! It will be so beautiful!
I switched my thoughts on planting the wildflowers there… just in case another miracle moonflower pops up… instead I am going the plant the wildflowers on the porch planter!
Once we realize that life is a journey …it becomes important to keep a ” running tab” on our daily steps … our planted seeds of everyday contributions that don’t have to measure achievements or accomplishments by others’ standards… but what the careful tending of our seeds are bringing to us now… peace, serenity and inner happiness.
So until tomorrow… We must all define our own success and then walk towards it every single day of our lives!
