Daisies are associated with purity, new beginnings,
and cheerfulness. Daisy petals symbolize innocence

memories of collecting wildflower bouquets.

We need to quiet ourselves.
Quiet time is healthy for our minds and bodies.
Studies show that a quiet environment reduce cortisol
(the stress hormone), improves sleep quality,
and sharpens focus.
Quiet also enhances mindfulness.
In quiet you’re more likely to notice
the sound of your breath,
the light shifting through the trees,
and the feeling of rest.
Question:
Do you enjoy the quiet?
