Things I've Learned from my Garden!

1.  Anything can grow with a little love and care. Now, mind you, my garden has been a bit neglected, but it is still going. I need to make sure my days off also include a little garden tending. And this is not only true with plants, but also with your friends and family.  I need to make time to enjoy the beauty of life and nurture the things that are important and not spend all day on the computer. My garden will grow with a little love and care!

2. Expect some seeds to dazzle and some to fizzle. I made the mistake of being meticulous about spacing my seeds the required distance apart and have now only realized that less than 50% actually grew! So now my garden is just wimpy looking. I should have dropped a lot of seeds in a row, regardless of spacing, and thin out the duds. This is true in life also! You may make many friends but only a few will actually grow and give you a blessing. You need to thin out the duds out there. But, at the same time, you have to open yourself to meet many to find the few that are true gems!

3. Hard work brings out the best results. I have not worked as hard on my garden as I should. While mother nature is doing her thing, I need to step up and help out! Sometimes just planting the seeds are not enough. You have to give yourself the time to do what needs done. And, in life, a dream is nothing until you wake up! You need to work to make your dreams happen. You can plant the idea in your head, but if you don't work it, feed it, nurture it and care for it, it will not grow!

So, it's time to weed the garden and resow some seeds! Both in my garden and in my life!
