Don’t Forget To Tend Your Garden..Eh hem..Life…

September 2010 009-2

Life Lesson number two is pretty straight forward…don’t take things or loved ones for granted…just as your garden needs tending to grow and be beautiful so do the relationships in your life.

I have never once thought my marriage could be in danger…there was never a thought in my mind that my husband wouldn’t be there…so in my narrow thinking, I put him and our relationship aside and figured I’d get to it when I had time….the kids, the dogs, my work, my home, everything was taking time and I was too tired for myself let alone my husband and our marriage…but I loved him and I figured he loved me too and we’d get to us when there weren’t so many distractions in life…

But just as a gorgeous garden can wither and die without being properly tended, so can a love relationship wither and die without being properly taken care of…even one you think is a great love…there IS time for things that matter…we must prioritize and never take such important things or relationships for granted…they won’t be there if you don’t take care of them along the way!!

With proper love and tending, your garden can grow in leaps and bounds and so can your relationships with the same care!

Have a lovely Thursday everyone….until next time….

Hard lesson to learn ...and to remember but you are a living testament that when you refocus your attentions on the important things, it really does turn into something beautiful!

That is a hard lesson in life - but a true one. So glad your garden is turning out to be renewed and stronger than before.

These are not easy to learn, but there is a reason for them. Thank goodness you heard the wake up call before sleeping through it.
