Tending Your Own Garden


It's often hard to tend to your own garden when the weeds of others are constantly trespassing.

They will creep through fences and take root, slither through the soil nonchalantly and wrap themselves around your roses. Your own flowers will starve and wilt, unable to withstand the mass assault and you will be so obsessed with weed killing that you may not notice. One day, being sure that the weeds have been beaten back and defeated, you will stand back and discover that your own garden has died from neglect. Or worse, that you've lost interest in flowers altogether and the weeds are still thriving and demanding attention.

Luckily, spring and second chances are only a season away - we live in a world where it's never too late for self renewal.
