never-ending to-do list. This is in addition to my primary 9-5 and my lovely family. From planting and watering to harvesting and selling, there&#8217;s always something that needs my attention. One task that I often push to the side is balancing the farm&#8217;s accounts. It&#8217;s not the most glamorous task, but it&#8217;s crucial for keeping the farm running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this morning, tackling the numbers, I noticed a difference in the sky out of the corner of my eye.  Mid-Michigan winters are very grey and the experience of becoming reacquainted with the sun these last two days are nothing short of necessary. I needed to step away from the computer screen and remind myself. So, I grabbed my camera and headed outside to catch the sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I stood there, surrounded by the cacophony of colors, I couldn&#8217;t help but feel grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to wake up each day and do what I love \u2013 work on the farm and grow beautiful flowers. The farm&#8217;s accounting can wait, but this moment of peace and tranquility was priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stepping away from my daily tasks, even for just a few minutes, allowed me to come back to my work with a fresh perspective. I was able to tackle the numbers with renewed energy and focus. It&#8217;s a reminder that sometimes, the best thing we can do for our work is to step away from it for a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As flower farmers, our days are filled with hard work, but it&#8217;s important to remember to take a break and enjoy the beauty of nature. Whether it&#8217;s taking a walk through the fields, or simply watching a sunrise, these moments of mindfulness can help us appreciate the beauty of our work and give us the energy we need to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, take a moment to step away and enjoy the sunrise. You&#8217;ll be surprised at how much it can help.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eedb2a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eedb2a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f9d5d12\" data-id=\"f9d5d12\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58cab5f elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"58cab5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Post Navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thousandsunnyfarm.com\/?p=248\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-left\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Planting Spring Tulips and Narcissus<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thousandsunnyfarm.com\/?p=1909\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">Tales of Tulips: A Flower Farmer Florist&#8217;s Journey with Nature&#8217;s Beloved Beauties<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8bf3b3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8bf3b3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d84cdce\" data-id=\"d84cdce\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a flower farmer, my days are filled with a never-ending to-do list.
