Best medicine
Today's writing prompt, courtesy of the One-Minute Writer: besides laughter, what is the best medicine?
That is seriously difficult, because there is nothing like a child's genuine laugh, it is refreshing, beautiful and enlightening.
Flowers are great medicine for the soul. Receiving a bouquet of flowers can refresh love, feelings and even hope in times of despair.
I have a flower garden in front of our house which I've planted morning glories, gladioulas and freesias. My favorite flower is gladioulas by far because of their large blossoms and simple elegance.
I fell in love with them while dining at Macaroni Grill in Dallas, Texas. They always have white glads in a huge vase and the sheer elegance the flowers cast on the restaurant is amazing.
So I have huge pods of them planted in my front yard. Once they start to bloom (and I weed the bed a little more) I'll take picutres and post.
