2015 Planning and Observations

2015 Planning and Observations

I’ve heard it said that if you want to hear God laugh… just tell Him your plans. Being in recovery allows me to me have a faith in a Higher Power that brings me a lot of happiness in my life. Focusing on

loved ones, fellows in recovery and strangers all keep me from making life about me. It doesn’t always work, but I get reminders very quickly and that’s what keeps me centered. I’m at a point in my life where most of problems are luxury problems and I have to remember that.

A couple of things I’ll work on in 2015:

*Try not to gain any weight.

*Try to lose a few pounds by walking more and eating less of the bad things I love so much.

*Be more patient with my wife. I’m a fast thinker (speaker), but a slow learner and I need to reverse that!

*Volunteer more at the USO. What a great place to spend time with strangers who are willing to protect my freedom. {http://www.usomissouri.org/}

*Be less judgmental. Man is this going to be tough.

*Pray more.

If you have any suggestions on what works for you, please email me. I’m looking for all the help I can get!

Your lawn plans should include some of these:

*Test your soil. It will make all your fertilizer purchases more productive and beneficial in the long run.

*Stick to a plan. If you have one that works…keep working it. If not, adopt a new one and stick to it.

*Share your experiences with a neighbor/friend. Maybe you can help someone or get some help?

*When in doubt, raise the mowing height. Mowing too short is usually what is hurting a cool season lawn (especially in the early summer).

I want to thank MaryAnn for her endeavor of this blog. It is a great way for both of us to share our faith and our desire to help folks with their horticulture/lawn needs. May 2015 be a gift to all of you reading this and those in your life. Have a safe New Year and God bless you.
