Loving Approach

Today I spent most of the day working in the yard. I also spent some time doing household things like paying bills, cooking and cleaning. To paraphrase Mother Teresa, I performed many small tasks, with great love. In the yard I planted a butterfly bush, adjusted a clematis, fertilized a dogwood and transplanted some violets. In each case I beamed love and respect to the plant I was working with. The loving approach to the mundane task of yard work seems to improve the growth of the plants and definitely feels better to me, making the task more enjoyable.
