so pretty.

I love flowers. They are so beautiful, delicate, intricate, and stunning. I feel better around them, as though they have a aura of contentment about them. The majority of flowers are there to look pretty...to exist as a stunning creation. God didn't have to create flowers. He didn't have to make them beautiful, he didn't have to make them exist in such a wide array of colours and shapes...but He did. I love that about Him. I am looking forward to planting many flowers this summer. I'm excited to have them surround my home. I can't wait to work with them and care for them. I know this is a silly blog about Bria's love for flowers...but I wanted to talk about it. Those are my mothers orchids by the way. She keeps a number of orchids alive and thriving in her home which is something I would love to do. However, a simple love of flowers doesn't keep them alive and that right there is my problem. I kill flowers. I try SO hard to do the right things with them but they always end up dying. I will talk to a florist about what to do and I will do exactly what she says...and they die. The only way that I can have flowers in my house is if they're in a vase. I've never been able to keep flowers alive in a garden or in a pot or inside. So I do have my work cut out for me. I pray that I don't kill all of them...poor flowers.

one great quote...

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
