It always amazes me how the garden reveals so many life truths. There is one truth that has been on my mind lately.
It’s so easy to look out at our gardens (lives) and only see the weeds (bad stuff). We can become critical when we look at our kids, or spouses, or in the mirror when it’s not exactly what we want… kids didn’t listen and pick up properly (hypothetical of course), husband hasn’t completed the project (once again hypothetical), our reflections shows more grays and more pounds that before (clearly hypothetical 😝). When we only have eyes to see weeds it’s easy to spot them. But what if we focused on all the flowers, the good things, what we have to be thankful for in our lives? Wouldn’t that be prettier?
I know that sometimes in nature I can overlook some of the gorgeous miracles if I don’t take time to look: hoarfrost, pinecones, little buds forming. The same is true of living daily with other people. I can overlook all of the wonderful, beautiful, everyday things that are quite lovely.
I am hoping to have eyes ready to see all the beauty going on around me both outside in nature and inside my home. I hope that for you too!!💚
