Gardening

Choosing The Secret Garden for this past month's read coincided with our own vegetable garden growing and flourishing. The fascination with new growth and the anticipation of seeds to appear as plants is so fun, but it is even better with children. They become so excited when they see something come up, but they are also devastated when seeds don't work and never appear.
That powerful emotion of expectation motivates for good changes. Our oldest daughter has become a very healthy eater as she has watched these plants grow. She doesn't want to eat anything that doesn't help her body to grow and be healthy. I think she would have been a good influence on the children of Misselthwaite Manor.
Positive thinking and positive doing are definitely a prescription for happiness and improved living.
