Re: Your husband's purple tulips
Sally,
I couldnt help but respond to this sensitive post..
You said it so well..None of us march to the drum beat exactly the same..
We all are as children when we embark on a new
persuit(i.e.gardening)encouraging approval is the nuturing element to
success and satisfaction..I have the good fortune to have someone that not
only encourages but helps out and above all bites his tongue when it comes
to criticism(unless asked for then he will tactfully and constructively
respond)..With that encouragement I have gone on to found (2)small but
successful garden related business'.
Business or not life is too short to over-react and overlook the *truly
important things in life*..
Mucho Kudos to you Sally.
