“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

A few weeks ago, Wendy and I watched our two terrific grandchildren so that my daughter and her husband could have a special night out for Valentine’s Day.
Following a logistically challenging dinner at a local restaurant, we began a bedtime routine in which it looked like things were never going to settle down! With teeth eventually brushed and matching Valentine PJs on, we began the ritual of a hopefully relaxing bedtime story, or two….
Instead of Pop Pop or Grandma reading the books, our 5 ½ year old grandson took the lead. His tender and loving approach with his petite 2 ½ year old sister settled things down and delighted everyone!
EXERCISE:
Who are the people in your life that make you happy?
How do they act as charming gardeners who make your soul blossom?
Feel free to reply to this post with an example of your own and let its memory brighten your day.
