Last year my wife and I went for a walk through a Nature Reserve. The walk was mainly along a boardwalk over some marshlands, and eventually led to quite a large river.
There wasn’t another soul in the area, so we had the entire experience to ourselves. The
scenery was a blend of browns and greens with not many other colours to be seen.
That was until my wife spotted a tiny grouping of pink and yellow flowers. There wasn’t much to the natural bouquet, it was smaller than a palm of a hand.
But the beauty of the colours amongst it’s stark surroundings made us both stop and admire it.
It made me think of a quote by William Fletcher:
“Plenty of people miss their share of Happiness;
not because they never found it,
but because they didn’t stop to enjoy it!”
So this week, keep a positive attitude and stop in the middle of a busy day to realise the happiness you have.
I really like the smallness of the flowers and how we spotted them in such a great expanse of bush. And of course the fact that they are so beautiful
