Recently I learned an interesting fact about sunflowers. Why are sunflowers called sunflowers? Is it because they look like the sun? Nope. It is due to the fact that they will follow the sun throughout the day. As the sun moves across the sky the head of the flower will turn to face the light. This little tidbit of info has me thinking. I want to be more like a sunflower!How do I react to trials, disappointments, and frustrations? Do I dwell on all the negatives or do I look to all the blessings I have been given? Sadly, it is so easy to think about how bad things are or about how you wish things were. But from this day on I will become a sunflower. I will look for and follow the light in my life... because I have been truly blessed by a loving Heavenly Father. And that is what I will choose to search out from here on out, rainy days and all.

Heather, you seem to do a great job of staying positive no matter what happens.
I used to hate sunflowers until I heard that fact one day. It really does make it a wonderful symbol and example to us. Thanks for sharing your positive example with us. (It's funny cuz I'm planning a post to look for positive too, but it won't have a pretty flower.)
Love this! Great thought and good advice for all of us to count our blessings instead of complaining!
Thats cool! I didn't know that.
Thanks for sharing.
I didn't know that.
Need to have more happy days no matter what.
I've always loved sunflowers so I did know that fact but it's still really cool to think about. Keep your head up. :o)
