When I was a young adult , I had a straw hat with a big sunflower on it. It was one of those hats that I would wear on bad hair day. When I wore it, it just instantly picked up my mood. Sunflowers make me think of happiness, laughter, peacefulness, home. It is one of those flowers that say to me "relax, enjoy this moment". How can anyone look at a sunflower and feel down. We can learn a lot from this most sturdy flower. Sunflowers mean loyalty. It stands tall even in the storms if the root is well established. It's color is vibrant even on cloudy days. Why is that? Helen said it best and she couldn't see the brilliance of the flower. Why focus on the negativity or things that aren't true. How can you look at a sunflower and NOT focus on what is true, noble, pure, lovely and admireable. We have free will. You can choose to keep your face toward the sun just like sunflowers. Doesn't it feel good to close your eyes and feel the rays of the sun on your face. It is like a big kiss from our Father above. So I am renaming the sunflower Dr. Phil,( short for Philippians) not the one on TV, but the Great Physician who wipes away all your sadness.
