It can be one of those days I say to myself...

The alarm clock beeps, and all I want to do is sleep
My pillow is so cosy, and my quilt is very warm
The light is slowly trying to slip in through the curtain, but I cancel it out... I am not ready to open my eyes just yet

I am still in weekend mode, playing with my kids,
Making homemade pancakes for breakfast, drizzled with whipped cream and maple syrup
The bacon is sizzling, and the toast is popping.
I smooth on the butter as it melts it makes me smile
We sit around our table and talk a little while

Out for lunch to catch up with friends.
Oh, how our time is precious; we wish it didn't have to end
Sipping steamy cappuccinos and catching up on the goss
Plenty of laughs as Mary vents about her boss.

Shopping is all done, and food is all put away
The kids now have a chance to merrily play.
I am marinating our steaks as you pour out the wine
We all just love and appreciate this valuable family time.

With the fire aglow and the candles dimly lit
We all gather around our table after we've all done our bit
Steak night with mushrooms, onions, gravy, chips and peas
Anyone like more wine, to which I reply yes please

Such a cosy evening by the fire... the wine flowing steadily
We embrace our happy family time as we all join in readily
The conversation flows, and the laughter can be loud.
My heart is filled with so much love, and i truly am proud.

The weekend is full of fun, but the time goes by so fast.
We wish we could make our precious time together last
Off to bed with my big, sleepy head
Oh, how I wish the weekend didn't have to end

I knock off the alarm clock and kick off my quilt
Oh, how hard this is to resist
I would just love to roll over and sleep again
But then I remember today is a bank holiday.

Count all the ways you’re beautiful;
Your soul and your spirit,
Your brilliant body
And all the wonder within it.
Your heart full of love,
Your mind full of care,
Your eyes full of awe,
Your lungs full of air.
Your chest full of pride,
Your muscles full of strength,
Your brain full of questions,
Your compassion, immense.
Your hands that can comfort,
Your words that can soothe,
Your conscience that roots you
In the good, right and true.
You are a miracle,
Unique through and through.
So count the ways you’re beautiful
And always be proud of you!

When you are lonely, I wish you love.
When you are down, I wish you joy.
When you are troubled, I wish you peace.
When things are complicated,
I wish you simple beauty.
When things are chaotic, I wish you inner silence.
When things look empty, I wish you hope.

"The dandelion is the only flower that represents the three celestial bodies of the sun, moon, and stars: The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moons, and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.

The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep.

Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine, and dye for colouring.

Up until the 1800s, people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “weeds” like chickweed, malva and chamomile.

The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. 🦁

Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.

Dandelion seeds are often transported away by a gust of wind and they travel like tiny parachutes. Seeds are often carried as many as five miles from their origin!

Birds, insects, and butterflies consume nectar or seeds of dandelion.
Honey from bees pollinating dandelions is quite delicious. 🐦 🐛 🐜 🦋 🐝.

Dandelion flowers do not need to be pollinated to form seeds.
Root of dandelion can be used as a substitute for coffee.

Dandelion is used in folk medicine to treat infections and liver disorders. Tea made of dandelion act as a diuretic.

If you know dandelions, they’ll grow shorter stalks to spite you.

Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist. They are masters of survival worldwide."
