We spent Sunday afternoon at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The day was warm, bright and full of fall colors. The thought occurred to me that having happiness may not always be possible, but being joyful regardless may be.

Beautiful thought. I was just reading “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran, one line spoke to me a lot – Joy is sorrow unmasked.

I like your little philosophical thought. I also like the beehive. Beehive or hornets nest? Sounds like a nice afternoon out.

I’ve been blessed enough to visit Chicago Botanic Gardens twice and I loved every bit of it. The stand of mature ginkgos is a thing of beauty. My mom loved the rose circle garden. It’s a busy and beautiful place.
