Every year, I have my own little rituals. They're just things I do to observe special moments that aren't official holiday, but probably should be. With all the silly holidays out there, like Lasagna Day and Shrimp Day, why not add a few of my own by observing things like Wild Daisy Day--that's what today is. It's Mother's Day too and rest assured I have already spoken to my mom and wished her a happy mother's day and will be seeing her for lunch later. But, this moment is just between me and the flowers.
There's no official date for it, of course, the time of celebration gets dictated by nature itself, and I celebrate it each year by visiting a few favorite quiet places that are just brimming with these pretty flowers. I thought I'd don something special for this day with this pretty pom pom flower cardigan from my latest collaboration with ChicWish. I've been aching for this cardi and it is beyond lovely and perfect for the occasion.
And how do I celebrate, you may ask? By simply enjoying for hours on end, this lovely, peaceful place and perhaps picking just enough for a tiny tabletop bouquet so my whole family can enjoy this special moment of the spring as well.
There is so much uncertainty in life, that's nothing new, but now there seem to be so many angry miserable, easily offended people too, that it's easier than ever to become bogged down in it all and get so busy surviving, we forget to actually live.
In the past few years since starting this blog I've seen good times and horrible times and everything in between. Through it all I have learned to take a moment after each storm passes to just breathe and relax, to pause and appreciate the wonder and the world around me.
