Gardening Gabble

To Nurture a Garden:

 

is to not just to feed the body.......

 The glory of gardening:

hands in the dirt,

 head in the sun,

heart in nature.

.......but feed the soul as well.

Having a bad day?

It's just another day.......

 feel like

Yesterday Is Gone

Treasures In The Garden

Yesterday can't be brought back

No changes can be made.......

I am told:

Time is like a river.

 We cannot touch the water twice,

because the flow of the river flow,

that has passed

will never flow this way again.

 Enjoy every moment of this life

....... think carefully on every word we say, every action we take,

 for we can't go back and change any hurts we have caused.

My word for today is :"YESTERDAY"

 I am sorry for any past hurts  I caused.

 I would go back and change any hurts; but I can't. 

 I can only say "I'm sorry!"

Never Give Up

Treasures In The Garden

A positive mind plus positive thinking .......

 

Have courage and a belief in yourself,

Maintain a positive outlook, 

Encourage others to be positive too.

Don't get caught up in negatives- 

Stick to the positive,

 Listen to others to find ways to be be positive,

Always look for ways to improve,

Focus on the here and now,

 Don't dwell on past mistakes,

Don't get distracted from moving forward,

Inspire others to believe in themselves.

Always do your best,

 Never give up!

Painful Perfection

From my garden

How do I get free?

To escape being a slave to perfectionism

 you need to understand and challenge 

the underlying beliefs  that drive us 

to get "things right".

Perfectionists think that their beliefs

are indeed,FACTS

For an example:

"If I make a mistake

it will be catastrophic."

Get into the habit of challenging 

these thoughts with a reality check.

Take note of when you make a mistake-

or something was not quite right.......

Did your feared outcome come to fruition? 

Replace this kind of thinking of being "perfect"

with the realistic thought "I will do my best".

This can be frightening at first.

But make a start on setting realistic standards.

Remember: they are there to help you to do your best.

This way you won't lose the things that mean the most to you-

relationships, leisure time, good health.

Good luck! It will take practice. Eventually things will improve.

Get a happiness fix.......

 

Being a success:

Making connections

When difficulties arise in my life.......

An approach to keeping relationships on an even keel:

Listen,

Talk things through,

try gentle persuasion,

Aim for reconciliation,

Try not to use accusation. 

....... I try hard to foster unity, acceptance, harmony and love.

 And if all else fails I pray.

My word for today is "HARMONY!"
