blossoms and blossoming

“Gratitude is the fairest blossom that springs from the soul.”     Henry Ward Beecher

I’ve experienced sorrow too much in my life . . . and have suffered debilitating side-effects.  I believe that a heart of gratefulness can be an antidote that nurtures one’s spirit and  blossoms into  hope.

Flowers bring an element of delight into my environment – these petunias are blooming like mad on my little deck.
