Why I love the Sunflower..

I love sunflowers!

Because they are big, bright and happy!

They are BEAUTIFUL, INVIGORATING and GENEROUS!

They are also BECKONING, RICH, INSPIRING, GREGARIOUS, HONEST and TANTALIZING!

And finally, they are HONOURABLE, ARRESTING, PRETTY, PRECIOUS and YOUNG!

Yes, I just learned how to upload photos and the first photo to appear on my blog must be that of a sunflower!

I remember there was once I was very depressed in the office and I bought this postcard with a field full of sunflowers with my all time favourite verse on it to cheer myself up. It helped.

[The first flower I've ever received from a guy was a lily. Teh. Wrong number. Maybe my fault. I may have been labouring under the delusion that I liked lilies then and represented as such to the world at large.]

I would like many human sunflowers in my life. People who brighten my day and encourage me to go on. It's very tragic to have mainly weeds. Always sad and grumpy.

I would also like to be a sunflower to many people. Not like the haze is not gloomy enough. Not like the prospect of a not too grand bonus isn't demoralising enough. Not like there aren't enough heartaches, pains and disappointments in everyone's life. Why be another cactus?
