Yesterday was such a beautiful day I stopped running through all of my excuses for not leaving the house, plugged in my headphones and went for a walk.
I have been thinking so much about all of the 'deep issues' I am finding it difficult to concentrate on the the mundane everyday things that need to be done. So now I need to find the balance and the off switch for my brain.
As I left the house I noticed the neighbour was having his lawn rolled and fertilized. I saw another couple pulling weeds on the lawn. My entire neighbourhood is a sea of perfectly kept grass but whose to say that dandelions should not be welcome too.
Let's face it dandelions add colour to an otherwise never-ending sea of green. I really don't know why they are considered a weed at all. I think they should be considered flowers. When my daughter came out of school today she picked me a dandelion bouquet. I told her it was beautiful and I meant it.
We should all learn to appreciate dandelions a little more in our lives. They may stick out on the lawn, they may even outnumber the grass one day, but at least we can say they add colour and if one day we tire of them we can send our kids out to pop their heads off.
This post is in no means a comparison to myself. If you find yourself relating too much to the image of the dandelion stop reading and meditate.
