Day 9
Flowers Year Round
When I went home for Christmas this year I remembered how ugly things are outside when they're brown and dead! Here we have flowers year round and we're surrounded by green grass, banana trees, palm trees, mango trees... It's quite beautiful, but like everything, when you see it daily you start to take it for granted. So this morning I took all of these photos on my walk to school. Another volunteer, Lucia, commented that it was a really nice walk to school. We took time to "stop and smell the roses" and appreciated the beauty around us. (no, we don't have roses, it doesn't get cool enough for roses here) It's hard to make yourself slow down when you're so busy with everything in life... but when you do, it's so worth it!
