Pretty Purple Flowers

One person's weed is another person's flower, that was my mom's way of looking at life ~ always a flower never a weed.

 One day when mom and I went for our wheelchair walks she noticed some purple flowers (never a weed) and commented… look at the pretty purple flowers. And from that day forward, as we meandered around the complex, we couldn’t help but notice ~ all the pretty purple flowers.

Sometimes it’s the simplest things in life that can mean the most. That said, after mom passed away, I couldn’t help but notice pretty purple flowers everywhere I looked. At first seeing them made me sad. In fact, I would be out mowing the yard, see a purple flower (never a weed) and mow around it ~ needless to say my husband thought I was crazy 😊

Nowadays I’m not as emotional when I spot a pretty purple flower ~ I’ll smile and say ‘Hi mom’. May we all find the pretty purple flowers in our lives that make us smile 😊
