What a lovely day - no wind, no rain, and the sun is shining brightly! Our yard is filled with beautiful yellow daffodils - and for once, I am not lookng at them and thinking what a pain it will be when their season is over and I have to cut them down!
I am sitting here with a cup of coffee, and enjoying my view of the yard. My cats have been fed, and are outside playing. All is right with their world too!
This time of year we walk around our yards, noting the damage from winter - what plants made it, what didn't. We start to think about what we want in this years garden, and how soon we should start planting it. (We still get frost here until mid-May.)
As we pay due diligence to our outer gardens, we also need to pay due diligence to our inner garden - the garden of our soul. What flowers there are shining brightly, and what weeds to we need to pull?
Perhaps the weeds started out as flowers, but over time they ceased to serve our best interests. Can we tell the difference in our life between a lovely "formal" flower, an equally lovely "wild" flower, and a weed that threatens to run rampant?
Okay, we can probably get the weed thing figured out fairly quickly. But once we have it figured out, do we pull it out of our inner garden (release the negative energy from our life), or does it simply retain a permanent place on our lengthy "to do" list?
An unweeded garden not only looks as if we are not paying attention to it, but the lovely flowers that were once thriving are overcome by the weeds, and they lose their place.
What do you need to weed from your inner garden? Once you have your garden weeded (and htis is always an ongoing task!), what lovely flowers do you wish to place there?
Make your personal garden the very best that it can be!
