I remarked how amazing it is for these two small, almost nothing, seeds from the supermarket floor to become this big and beautiful. His answer: “just like your running dad. You started with almost nothing and look how far and strong you run now.” That made my day and inspired this post.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I’m running a half marathon on Sunday as part of my recovery from last weekend’s rough run.
Happy running!

"Out of the mouths of babes", a lovely reminder of how anything can be nutured into something beautiful - very wise Rohann!
Glad to hear you're doing better.
You have one smart fellow growing there. And think, he started with a tiny seed too and then all he needed was love and care.
Have a wonderful weekend, Johann.
What a wonderful and accurate analogy! Have a great race!
Johann,
Weird I read you last report but never commented. Old age... I love the pictures from that race, but gosh I am sorry you had to feel so miserable. I am guessing you are feeling a bit better and I hope the half goes well. What a gorgeous son! And very smart too.
What a cool story! I love the connection he made, too. That put a smile on my face. So neat that he recognizes the process and work that go into your running. :)
Priceless!
Quite a fine young lad you are raising there Johann! Have a good "light" weekend of running and take care of yourself!
What a wonderful post! Made me smile this morning!!!

Great post...I can totally relate...though your running kicks mine in the butt. :)
smart kid ;-)
awwww. He is a smart one :)
Awwww...don't you just love it when kids say truly lovely things like that?
He must get his big brains from his dad!! :)
We had some bird seed in the front yard that had some sunflower seeds in it and they birds dropped the seeds in the backyard and had a similar experience - it was so fun!!.
Your sunflower looks just perfect where you guys planted it - nice job!!
Good luck with the half, my favorite distance! Enjoy! :)
That is the best! The power of a parent's influence...good for you. And your garden looks beautiful.
That is so sweet! And the plants are beautiful!!
He sounds like a lovely boy. And it sounds like you're his hero.
Wonderful post! Smart guy you've got there and he has a "green thumb".
What a wise and kind young man you have! Kids always know how to say just the right thing.

I am thinking you had a race report and I missed my chance to read it. :( I took a break from blogging for a few days and look what happens. That'll teach me.
That is awesome. Happy weekend to you two!
Wow. I so love the comment your son made. What an inspiration you must be to him and how wonderful that he can put the right words to his feelings.
Love it! Pretty sunflowers... I've never seen ones with a yellow centre (all the ones here have black centres).

Wow, that is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
What an insightful boy, no wonder you were inspired to post this. That sunflower is gorgeous, they are my favorites.
