Thistles make me think about myself. According to our family genealogists I have a wee bit of Scottish blood in me, and the Scottish Thistle is an emblem of representation for that land. It is something which certainly has beauty, but also is rather prickly. The same can be said of myself. I have some good qualities, but I also can be a bit prickly at times. I can not really change my nature, but perhaps I can do a better job of sharing the good and not causing as much irritation with the thorns.
