Anita you brought up a very important point.  
To step away from what we feel anxious about, and let time heal what is wrong.  Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what is right.  

 In a world of high tech, wanting everything done yesterday, we get frustrated when situations in our life aren't corrected quickly.  Carry on your journey and the answers come, but not until you are supposed to get them.  

I believe there are certain people you meet, or conversations you have, that are part of  your life puzzle, and you won't get to solving the puzzle until you get to that piece on your journey.   

This quote is now one of my most favorite. There is so much solice in winter.  Thank You.

"Sometimes we become conflicted with our judgement and forget that winter is a valuable season.  We may need to draw within and rest, let the idea or change lay dormant for awhile. "<br/><br/>

I began to use the terms, "in the garden", when things were not moving on a level that I could see.  Before I used that I felt like I was failing if I wasn't on path and doing something.  But by gardening I began to let myself be at peace while I was waiting for the time to be right, for that piece of the puzzle to arrive.  I liked the contradiction of terms when most people associate the garden with the flowers and I meant fertilizing.<br/><br/>

Now I call it all gardening." 
Excellent post!  I love your analogy Anita.

The old adage is you reap what you sow. We need to tend to our gardens daily, when the seeds of  fear, jealousy, hatred, anger from others are tossed into your soil, you rake them out immediately or they will spread a row of bad emotions which makes for a bad harvest.

It's important to water and weed everyday to keep everything growing healthy.  If we go days without watering things will start to wilt, and it's harder to get the bad seeds out since they have started to make roots in the soil. 
Wheither watering is coming to Blog4change to get inspiration, or spending time each day in prayer, or both, it sure will make for a bountiful harvest. 
  
I am so glad I stopped by here today, the gardening thought will stay with me forever. Thank you Anita.<br/><br/>

Tending ourselves, using those useful ideas you added make for a very beautiful garden.<br/><br/>
