one thing is very apparent.
I LOVE sunflowers.
Why is this?
Quite simply, they make me happy.
My fresh sunflowers I get every week at the farmers market that sit on my
coffee table make me HAPPY.
My sunflower leather keychain from Italy makes me HAPPY.
Why do sunflowers make me so happy?
I can sum it up in just two words: My Mom.
I can sum it up in just two words: My Mom.
My mom IS a "sunflower".
She is radiant, and beautiful, happy
and she brings me joy.
My mom is also a painter and lover of all things beautiful and happy.
(Our dining room in my home growing up was YELLOW)
Not the muted buttercream yellow in a massage therapist's office,
but I mean BRIGHT HAPPY YELLOW.
On those yellow walls, my mom had hand painted framed
pictures of flowers that SHE painted.
Among these was a Sunflower.
When I close my eyes I can be sitting at our farm bench dining room table
and see the bright yellow room and sunflower painting, and I am HOME.
and that... makes me HAPPY.
you're so precious :D
