Small but amazing
The best things come in little packages -- that's true of many things: chocolate, babies, hugs, a text from a friend that makes you smile.
I've been a smiley thing recently because I'm learning to ignore the bigger things that get me down and just concentrate on the smaller, seemingly insignificant things, like taking a relaxing bubble bath, having a good natter on the phone, having a dance when a favourite song comes on the radio, having a good old giggle. In life, you have to take pleasure from those small things, especially when, like me, you have ME/CFS.
I wanted to show you something that made me smile recently -- look ------->
See that teeny tiny little shoot? That's the first germinated seed of my batch of chilli seeds, and one day, that tiny little seed will become a plant and bear fruit. It's amazing when you think about it -- that something as small as this vulnerable little shoot will grow to become a big strong plant. It reminds me of the fragility of life and proves that with a little determination, even the weakest can become strong. That's the beauty of this world, and the same thought strikes me when I hold my tiny little nephew in my arms.
That's my thought for the day anyway, but I shall leave you with a picture of another very small creature -- this time, a tiny crab that we found on the rocky beach of an island just off Hong Kong, where I went at Christmas. Doesn't nature just fill you with awe?

*edit* By the way, it's pancake (shrove) Tuesday today, so don't forget to get flipping tonight! Yum!
It is amazing to think what a speck of a seed does in such a short time.
I've already flipped!
It's still early days for seed sprouting yet, sweetie! xxx
Yay for flipping, Flighty! I'm going to flip in a bit too! (Lol, what a bizarre convo..) I like mine classic with sugar and a squeeze of lemon - mmmm! :D xxx
I don't know what box my chili seeds are hidden in...LOL
Cute lil crabbie!

Livs, what are pikelets? I didn't miss your pun either ;) Ooh, find the chillies, Liv, then we can compare! :) And yes, bulbs are germinating too! I shall take a pic when they flower - think it'll be soon at this rate! xxx
Divababe, Happy birthday sweetness! Woo! Hope you're having the best day! Aww, bless that tiny little bub of yours - he's sop adorably gorgeous! xxx
Hi Elaine! I've seen pics of the Munchkin, and I agree she is ke-yute! Kids are amazing :) So you can keep a Munchkin happy and well, but not a plant? :) xxx
