How is it that just the sight of the peonies growing in my garden can make my mood soar? Is it the promise that warm sunny weather is on the way? Or is it just the color and fragrance that lifts my spirit?
There is something about a garden that is good for the soul. Tending a garden is such an optimistic endeavor, it involves faith in the future, and anticipation for tomorrow. It is the ultimate in long-term gratification. Nothing you do today in a garden (except water) will show any improvement by tomorrow, it takes time to reap the benefits of your labor.
Show you believe in tomorrow, plant a flower today.
