Don't you just love daisies?
They look like many suns has been laid on the ground to delight us. The open face welcoming and greeting in delight.
Hello,
Needless to say, I am a fan of daisies. I adore them more than roses. These feelings must had stemmed from my childhood. My mother used to have daisies in rows surrounding our front garden. I don't recall they needed much attention from my mother except the occasional watering. I used to sit by them and played with my dolls.
The picture I selected for the header of my blog is specially chosen because I think it evokes a certain kind of tenderness. The way those flowers are held up to her lips shows tenderness, a wanting to connect and an appreciation of beauty. Similar to the way a mother would held her newborn and if I have a child, I would have posted that picture here, too.
Yes, I am unmarried and never been married. If you asked me whether I am happy with my single status (I am frequently asked this), I would say 'yes' and 'no'. At times when I had seen mothers with their newborns, I wondered what I may be missing in my life. But, at times when I've seen mothers harassed beyond limits by their children (especially in shopping malls), I am thankful I escaped similar fate. These don't mean that I like children but not the efforts required to care for them. I have seen and do understand the sacrifices required. After all, I have many nieces and nephews, whom I adore but whom I gladly return to their parents whenever they throw tantrums. My mother would have loved me to add another one or two to that bunch and I would have gladly obliged her too had I met the right someone. So, for mothers out there, congratulations. And for those without child, congratulations too.
