The Secret Garden

I hate yard work. I think most people do. For me it probably stems from my childhood, when allergies got the best of me. I'd come in from mowing the lawn and my eyes would be itchy and puffy, and I would have hives on my arms. Needless to say, I avoided it at all costs. I still do. But someone has to do it. When it was my turn, I did it.

I think I need to start some personal gardening. Lot of overgrowth in my life. Time to trim a few wayward vines so to speak. Gardening the soul is not just for looks; it's for the health of the landscape. It prevents weeds from encroaching.

So how does this apply to me. Time to cut off poisonous relationships. Time to begin planting new habits. Time to take the crap and make fertilizer. Then maybe go out an play lawn darts or croquet. Or maybe just enjoy the beauty of me.
