The Joy (and Wisdom) of Gardening
I have a magnificent garden. That’s because I’m married to a very gifted gardner. While Rick plants and pampers our vegetable patch of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, kale and green beans; our plum, apple and fig trees, and a plethora of flowers, I have one job. I deadhead the roses.
Once a rose blooms and dies, it remains on the bush–taking precious resources from it. When I clip the dead roses, I allow that energy to go to the new buds so they can bloom.
That made me think…where in my life can I deadhead? What activities are no longer serving me, no longer bringing me joy? As I let go of toxic relationships, unnecessary obligations and busy work best delegated, I feel clearer and more energized. I’m blooming! What can you release today?
