Re: [SG] Made My day
Gene,
I dont know about Wayne but I sure *needed*this sage advise just written here by
you...
I dont know why I inflict such torture on myself..Bemoaning that which I have no
control over I.E. 'no snow cover'(curse,curse)
Freeze,thaw,grey-wet,etc(more moans)..Always(annually),wishing for an end to
winter(starting, oh,say mid-December :-) when I know full well that I'm asking the
impossible.Seasons( as Nature would have it) will come and go as She dictates..
What I should wish for instead is the wisdom and patience which you have portrayed
here,and expend all that (futile)anxiety/energy on the things I know I should be doing
INSIDE so I'll be free to spend my time outside when the season truly arrives..
Thanks,Gene,I NEEDED that..............
Cabin Fever,
Connie
