Daffodils

'The Daffodil Principle'

Have you visited this daffodils page via our 'Home Page'? If so you may have seen our reference to The Daffodils, Wordsworths well-known poem. Sorry, this page has nothing to do with that!

Have you visited this page via our Bulb Flowers page, looking for these glorious narcissi in particular? Sorry, again, this page has nothing to with locating any bulbs to buy!

This page is ALL about an oh so inspiring blog posting about daffodils and 'The Daffodil Principle'.

So, to begin at the beginning is logical... but I'm going to begin with the message at the END of the blog posting!

So here goes... '"There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt, and, Dance like no one's watching.

Wishing you a beautiful, daffodil day!

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone special. I just did!"'

PLEASE DO read the full post, and enjoy the glorious pictures [if you live in the USA, you might be near enough to see the actual pictured vistas] you won't regret it, I know I felt privileged to have been lucky enough to have found it... just Click Here

The actual posting on the blog was dated Friday, April 13, 2007, but you'll be able to find a live link to it in the right-hand margin when there.

Here is another short quote from the posting...

'"It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. "What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago and had worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years? Just think what I might have been able to achieve!"

My daughter summed up the message of the day in her usual direct way. "Start tomorrow", she said.

She was right. It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, "How can I put this to use today?"'
