Make it a beautiful day

Reflections from the garden White Picket Farm LLC

Gardening is hard work, mostly out of our control. A constant battle with weather, pests, animals, and disease. Sounds a bit like the things we face, doesn’t it? Events of today are mostly out of our control. Attitude is the single most significant decision we can make, a conscious effort to focus our reactions. We have the opportunity to choose whether we seek sunshine or hide in the shadows. These choices will make a difference in whether today is happy, energetic, or if we just get by.

It isn’t easy to find the sunshine, but it is a choice. It is an act of faith, we have to adjust our focus. Make it a beautiful day.

  Fertilize-Filter inputs. What goes in, comes out!

Bloom-Enjoy the beauty of those around you, we all bloom differently.

  Meditate on beauty and truth.

Cultivate-Grow positive relationships and surround yourself with energy of others.

Weeds can take over if we aren’t tending our mind/heart.

Apostle Paul reminds us to focus on the positive. ‘Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - If anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about these things.’

Phillipians 4:8
