☆Today, too, a little happiness came to the garden★
Note: I have posted a photo of the dragonfly.
Recently,
it was my father's birthday.
On the morning of that day, too,
I went out to the garden as usual,
feeling the breeze,
"It's a beautiful day today, too."
I was looking up at the sky like that.
Then suddenly,
something shining blue in the garden caught my eye.
"Wow, I've never seen a dragonfly like this before."
I stopped in my tracks and stared at it,
with wings shimmering in blue,
it was a very beautiful dragonfly.
Surprised by a sight I had never seen before,
I watched it, completely captivated, for a while.
Moving its wings up and down,
or fluttering softly from side to side.
It was as if it were dancing,
and it was truly adorable.
It was so beautiful that I said,
"Dad, let's look at this together."
I called out to him,
and went out to the garden with my father.
"So there are dragonflies like this, huh."
While talking like that,
the time we spent looking at the same scenery together
made me feel very happy.
When I looked it up later,
that dragonfly was
called a "Butterfly Dragonfly."
It was named that.
On my father's birthday,
a beautiful dragonfly I had never seen before came to our garden.
Of course, it might just be a coincidence.
But I,
"I wonder if it came to celebrate."
When I thought of it that way,
somehow my heart felt warm.
Many seasonal flowers are also blooming in the garden.
Vibrant yellow.
Gentle green.
A clear blue sky.
The colors created by nature,
I wonder why they are so beautiful,
I am moved just by looking at them.
When I am busy,
these are small events I might easily overlook.
But,
when I stop and look up at the sky,
feel the breeze,
or turn my eyes to the flowers and insects,
the world
makes me realize how beautiful it was.
It's not that anything special happened.
But,
perhaps these kinds of small events
are what make a day feel "happy."
Today, too, nature
quietly delivered its kindness.
It was a morning where I felt grateful
for such a day.
☆Have a wonderful day today, too★
