Jan. 7, 2022 - There is a meme going around that has two people talking. One person is saying to the other how horrible the upcoming year is going to be, with COVID and politics and the climate crisis and everything horrible. He asks the other person, "What do you think is going to happen in 2022?" The other person responds, "Flowers." He says, "Flowers, why flowers?" "Because I planted flowers."
I absolutely love that! Of course, there WILL be things that aren't that great in 2022, just like every year, but we also can plant and cultivate flowers. We can water them, spread them around, focus on them, remove the weeds from our flower garden.
