I'm Not a Weed

I AM Loved - Weed Appreciation Day March 28

"The only difference between a flower and a weed is a judgement," according to Dr. Wayne Dyer. Just like a gardener needs to manage weeds in the garden, we also need to manage weeds in our lives. A gardener typically consider weeds plants that were not planned; they just popped up. Unplanned events that just pop up in our garden of life may be good or bad, partially determined by how we react to it. There are probably more unplanned events in our lives than planned. There may be times when we need to open our arms and welcome something or someone new into our life. Maybe we need to accept something different, a change. Listen to where we are being lead and be accepting to new possibilities. At the same time, depending on the situation, be alert, assess, and ensure that whatever this unplanned event happens to be, that it is something that will allow positively to thrive and grow. In this book, Suzy is a sunflower that blows into a perennial garden so she is considered a weed, at first anyway. Mrs. Gardener sees Suzy as beautiful and something that brings joy to her each day. Her love for Suzy didn't take away her love from something else. March 28 is Weed Appreciation Day. Appreciate those unplanned events in your life that keep your life interesting, intriguing, challenging and often rewarding. See the beautiful, intricate, flower in the weed. You make the judgement call, is it a weed?
