The Garden of Your Daily Living

I got this lovely text in a Yahoo Group I belong to. Original author is unknown, the text was posted by Ann.

PLANT THREE ROWS OF PEAS:
1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of soul

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF SQUASH:
1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF LETTUCE:
1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

NO GARDEN IS WITHOUT TURNIPS:
1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

TO CONCLUDE OUR GARDEN WE MUST HAVE THYME:
1. Thyme for each other
2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.

    I hadn’t come across this before, and really enjoyed it. For me, “squash” is so vital to cultivate. If that squash doesn’t grow, it diminishes all the positive things. Very cute!

    @Sara,
    Squash is vital, it clears the way for peace.
