Lighten Up!

Every garden needs a little whimsy … this is a photo of what I see when I look out of my kitchen window – if these light-hearted wicker flamingos bobbing in the breeze don’t bring a smile to your face, you’re taking life a little too seriously!

We’re surrounded and bombarded with some pretty heady, scary serious issues every day whether it’s international, national, communal or within our immediate family and if we’re not careful, we can allow ourselves to be overshadowed by the doom and gloom.  It’s our responsibility to make sure we give ourselves permission to smile!  I’m not suggesting we don’t embrace our social responsibility but if we want to live longer more contented lives we must also make sure we can all find our own happy place, where ever or with who ever makes sense to us.

So maybe pink flamingos don’t do it for you … what does?
