Gardening Is Good for Your Mental Health!
Our Mental Health
Sadly, we are now reading, watching, and listening to issues that impact our mental health.Time in Our Gardens
With all the sadness in the world, to keep myself and my husband mentally healthy we spend time tending, planting, and weeding the gardens and plants around our home.A Garden Poem for Daily Living
I do not remember where I found the following poem about gardening. However, is speaks to my gardener’s heart and I hope it will speak to yours! A GARDEN FOR DAILY LIVING Plant three rows of peas: Peas of mind Peas of heart Peas of soul Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip Squash indifference Squash grumbling Squash selfishness Plant four rows of lettuce: Lettuce be faithful Lettuce be kind Lettuce be happy Lettuce really love one another No garden should be without turnips: Turnip for service when needed Turnip to help one another Turnip the music and dance To enjoy our garden We must have thyme: Thyme for fun Thyme for rest Thyme for ourselves Water freely with patience and Cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden Because you reap what you sow.Final Thought
My advice: Take some time to tend to your own garden, mentally and/or physically; it will keep the unwelcome weeds that overgrow or choke out the more desirable plants, of kindness, respect, appreciation, encouragement, and love, thriving in your personal garden!
