In The Garden

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

In the garden of your mind,
There's a special place
I hope you'll find
Where flowers of joy and
peace peaches grow,
By the happiness waters
so freely that flow.



Spend time with friends
And animals too
They're here to listen
and support you.




Keep it real.
Celebrate
each win you feel.
It's okay to ask for aid
When storm clouds
make you feel afraid.


Mental gardens
Need tender care,
But look!
They're blooming
Everywhere!

The friend you meet
Is a garden too,
Nourishing in beauty,
A treasure to you.


So nurture minds
With love each day.
Help the bad stuff
Fade away. For in our gardens
You will find,
The Happy, The Healthy,
The Free and the kind!

Seeing Pixie helps to remind me that Lacey came to stay 6 years ago. It is estimated that she is 14 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if it were more.

Pixie is looking up, as she's sure she saw a jumping dog.

I never thought about my mind having a garden, but I like the analogy.
