A short note of optimism for the year ahead. Bring it on 2025!


. . .


“Ohhh I love all the cute little white daisies all over the lawn! So pretty!”


“Love, those are weeds.”


“No, they are pretty flowers!? I love them.”


“Those are weeds.”


“Flowers!”


“Weeds.”


“Well, I suppose that is just a matter of perspective.”
