Planting Flowers

I recently saw a meme of two characters discussing the new year. One was wondering what 2022 will bring. The other predicted that 2022 will bring flowers. When asked why, the second character replied, "Because I am planting flowers."

This is a wonderful attitude to have. What if each of us decided to plant flowers, figuratively, if not actually?

I had a   2-/12 hour phone conversation with a dear friend yesterday, in which she told me that 2022 will be a good year for both of us. and that she has decided to think only positive thoughts. 

She has decided to finally act on her desire to move to the central coast of California, a place she loves, in 2022. She has started by getting rid of things she no longer wants or needs. 

I isn't always easy to 'plant flowers' when our lives get turned upside down by life events or circumstances if living in a stressed-out world. It may seem pollyanna-ish to some. But I believe it is a goal worth pursuing. And even in the depth of winter, when it is too cold to literally plant flowers outside, we can still plant some flowers in our minds.

What kind of flowers will you plant this year?
