I hope you had a good Memorial Day last Monday while we were off. I spent the majority of the holiday weekend, and some of this past weekend, doing hours and hours of gardening. Every night since, I go out in the evening and water and deadhead. There is something about planting something with your hands into the soil and watching it flourish that just speaks to my soul.
I saw this graphic earlier today and it made me think of my gardening. If I spent as much time “watering” myself as I do my garden, would I grow more? If I trimmed out the areas in my life that are dead and “weeded” the things around me that are taking away my nutrients, would I bear more blooms? If I have overgrown a space in the garden, would re-rooting myself allow me to provide more shade to others?
Maybe that’s too many plant analogies for a Monday afternoon, but at the very least, I hope that you think about how much care it takes to make a plant grow. You need just as much, and more. Please take the time to nourish yourself, whatever that may be for you.
Have a great week!
