"Much more surprising things can happen to anyone who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable, determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place."     

                                                         ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett  

In The Secret Garden, the author also writes, "If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." 

Let's make this a day for seeing beauty and making beauty.   

When a negative thought arises, pull it out like a weed. Plant in its place a beauty-full thought that springs from your loving essence.

If it takes a while for such a thought to appear, be patient. Perhaps a layer of frost needs to melt. For sure, there is a garden in you too.   

Wishing you well, 
Charlene
