What does that tell you about me? I've learned to let go. I just can't ever do all that I would like to do. So I'm just enjoying the journey. Thanks for sharing your view of the beauty that is all around us.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846581506534128108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-7670850717110876952010-02-28T19:48:00.926-06:002010-02-28T19:48:00.926-06:00Amen!

And I loved how you used the flower bouquet as a metaphor for us, because it shows that even though we may be a small flower compared to a big beautiful gerber daisy (and as we shouldn't compare ourselves), all us us together make up a gorgeous bouquet as well. :)~Crystal~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15411390731113312416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-65494128473253406112010-02-28T06:22:15.089-06:002010-02-28T06:22:15.089-06:00Your post was absolutely wonderful!Your post was absolutely wonderful!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317672925930347238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-28387328852011072232010-02-27T16:10:36.860-06:002010-02-27T16:10:36.860-06:00Thank you for the ispiration and the peace that yo...Thank you for the ispiration and the peace that your post has given me for at least the rest of the day.

Sometimes I feel I don't do enough for them; play, imagine, color, laugh, roll on the floor. Sometimes I feel like a complete failure on any given day, but I promise myself to do better if God blesses me with one more morning. WONDERFUL post!

At every level and in every corner of life someone wants to be seen as the best. So they try and try harder to be the best fisherman. But you can only improve yourself by trying to do what you do better. But if you don't fish, you don't like to fish, don't want to eat fish. Now you have found yourself competing in something you don't even care about. If what you really want is green grass you either figure out how to fertilize your grass or ask your neighbor how he does it. Most people are thrill to have some ask how to achieve what they have already. Sure it can be a bit about bragging but I can also be about sharing your secrets and working on something together. rather than making it a competition. That was everyone is a winner.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560321164399562479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-31643388243395302102010-02-25T20:24:42.984-06:002010-02-25T20:24:42.984-06:00Wow.

I enjoy it so much, and I'm doing okay, making friends, gaining followers one by one. . . . It really IS easy to compare myself to others and think "Why bother?" But the "why bother" is because there's only one little daisy exactly like me, and what I have to say may be exactly what someone needs to read one day. Who knows?<br /><br />This was written beautifully and illustrated magnificently. I appreciate it very much.Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-23420713825083237852010-02-25T17:06:13.724-06:002010-02-25T17:06:13.724-06:00I'm so sorry I missed this post yesterday . . ...I'm so sorry I missed this post yesterday . .

It's something we all need to remember from time to time.
