Gazanias are brilliantly coloured, bold flowers that flourish in the toughest conditions. I have great memories of using their petals as kid to produce the loudest, shrillest whistles. You held a petal taut and blew against it.
Who are you going to whistle to this week?
Call a friend, chat with a work colleague, make plans with family — initiate something that brings some happy socialising into people’s lives. Start a Twitter hashtag, join in one; party at a Facebook event; wander around the internet commenting on blogs (bloggers love that!).
Indulge your sociable instincts, no matter how unpromising the situation seems. Like gazanias, beauty can flourish in surprising places.

Well, for starters…I’m going to whistle at you, m’lady. I’m so jealous. You Aussie’s have the most beautiful flowers, wildlife, nature! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gazania but I do know the childhood trick. We did it with blades of grass. I’d much prefer to do it with gazania. So lovely! Have a beautiful, bright week!!
Xoxo
LOL Mary. I have visions of us whistling across the world at one another 🙂 Have a great week, yourself!

Well, that (question marks) was supposed to be music scales BUT…guess it wouldn’t let me. Oh well. Keep whistling! 😉
