Sweetness to the Core


Somewhere along the way we stop thinking of dandelions as beautiful yellow flowers worth stopping to pick and carry home to mommy and we start looking at them as a very undesirable addition to an otherwise beautiful patch of grass.

I often times think that the way someone looks at a dandelion says more about how old they are than what their true age is. The question is, when does this change occur?

When does ones view of a dandelion change?

Is there anyway I can keep my sweet girl from reaching this unknown point? I can't describe the joy it gives me to see her excitement over discovering a perfect yellow dandelion amongst the grass. The way she smells it over and over and genuinely sees it's beauty is truly unadulterated innocence. Loving a dandelion is sweetness to the core.

I adore receiving the little puff of bright yellow from Monkeys' sweet little hands. What a gift it is. What a gift she is.
