Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

Thoughts Flowered….

                     

"Thoughts flowered"…And within no time the French word "pensées" is budding in my mind…French "pensées" can be either "thoughts" or "pansies" in English…
Now when I send "mes meilleures pensées", will you get "my best thoughts" or a little bunch of delicate purple flowers ?" (written by Marie-Noelle in yesterday’s comment section.)

When I receive a comment regarding what I have written, I feel that they are amazing post in themselves. The depth that many of you share, gives new light and direction to my posts. Your comments are "meilleures pensées" and at the same time bouquets of friendship. Thank you, all of you, who encourage me to blog my thoughts and photos! Merci Beaucoup!

    Flowers and thoughts are closely linked- my friend who is a florist tells me that there is meaning behind the type of flowers you send, and some are rooted deep within culture. Thoughts like flowers need watering daily, may our words thoughts and deeds blossom into beautiful bouquets.

    Corey — perhaps you bring out the best in us! (smile) I love Acey’s post. Would that the whole world could communicate in this gentle way.

    Wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons. Your story about ‘reservations’ for the inn just made me giggle and hopefull you mind that I have shared it with friends: part of your oral legend, as well. And thank you sincerely for your daily meilleures pensees.

    I love reading your blog/thoughts, and seeing your photos, which are stories all their own. It’s a very relaxing few minutes for me every time I click over to your site. I’ve got to run; my one yr old has finally discovered the Christmas tree.

    Marie Noëlle’s words are beautiful, as they always are 🙂 And you have used them to create more word art. Thanks to both of you.

    I so wanted to leave something wonderful on your post today but words are just not coming forth at the moment. In a ditch:-( and I just hate it when that happens and you really want to let someone know how they inspire you…you do inspire and encourage me. I don’t have the same talent with words and expression of thoughts as you do but I love reading your posts and hearing about your life experiences through the words from your heart. They help me think outside the box, and that’s a wonderful thing:-)
    thank you…Nel
