Just living is not enough.
One must have sunshine, freedom,
and a little flower.
— Hans Christian Andersen
I read this quote last night, and my heart skipped a beat. I ripped the page straight out of the magazine right then and there! I didn’t want to forget the delightful prose with which I wholeheartedly agreed. Inspired, I paraded down to the pond this morning with a tiny, water-filled vase and my orange-handled scissors. They need sharpened, but they got the job done. Now I'm spending this sunny day with this lovely little flower — the one I’d been admiring for days — thankful and free.
