Keeping it real… I went down to work in the garden this afternoon, and my initial thoughts weren’t about the growth, accomplishments, and wins. They were of the weeds, the empty spots where flowers didn’t come back, the sprouting buds on too-short stems, the unfinished tasks and so much work with so little time. Then I noticed a butterfly enjoying the weeds on my compost pile, and my perspective changed. Today I’m going to try to focus on the joy my garden brings. There’s so much joy to be had, and not just in the garden. Today I’m having what parents used to call, an attitude adjustment! ☺️
