The Unexpected

"Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers."

When I found this photo of a flowering bed, I paused to marvel how beautiful it was. Wouldn't it be fun to have such an unexpected treasure in your garden? Some may think it's silly or out of place, but that is one of the reasons that I love it. Beds don't belong outside, let alone one that is lined with plants and flowers! I found the entire look enchanting.
While we may never run into such an unexpected item in any gardens we visit, it makes me realize how important it is to have a little hope and faith in the unexpected. Life can be a tough rode for most of us. The thought that something good or beautiful or unexpected can pop up at any time, gives us the fuel to continue on the rode. Not seen from where we are now, but just around the next bend, can be something wonderful...even a flower bed!!
Push on and keep your eyes open!!
