Pictures and gardens


I am now back at work at the ole insurance desk, staring at the family pictures I have on the wall. I sure love my family. I pray for you all as I look at the pictures. Jon in his army uniform, Dave and Jamie in their wedding garb. Taylor, Meadow and Hunter in their halloween costumes, Nicole and Brian on a harley, Angie and Brian hugging each other on a couch, Bruce holding Sean etc... It makes me happy and I smile alot when I look at them. I have one of Mom and Dad too. It is a reminder to me of where we all came from and to enjoy family each day. We do not know what will be tomorrow but we have today, and I choose to enjoy it. I have this little saying taped to my computer called " A Garden" Plant three rows of peas: Peace of mind, Peace of Heart, Peace of soul. Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip, squash grumbling, squash selfishness. Plant four rows of lettuce. Lettuce be faithful, lettuce be kind, lettuce really love one another. No garden should be without turnips: Turnip for service, turnip to help one another, turnip the music and dance. Water with patience and cultivate with love. There is so much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow. To conclude our garden, we must have thyme. Thyme for fun, thyme for rest, thyme for ourselves. I like that saying. And read it now and then. We do sow what we reap. Guess this spring time weather we are having today made me think about all that.

Comments:
I too am so very thankful for our great family. I will try to keep your little saying in mind too, We need to alway keep these positive thoughts in our minds in such a negative world.
 
I miss having a garden. I'm surrounded by so much lush greeness...I remember Brian saying when he first visited Virginia that it reminded him of a jungle. hehe
