(I think maybe our pastor is doing just that!)<br />I didn't realize you had a tornado! Was that recently? There was a town (Canton) about 60 or so miles from here that had a tornado hit last week. And it's winter! Texas weather! :)Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-62035892253433168422010-01-22T18:48:43.359-08:002010-01-22T18:48:43.359-08:00Hi Linda, I think your garden is always pretty.

I realize we sometimes don't agree with what is going on at the time but it happens for a reason. <br />I use to complain but since breaking my leg I've learned rather fast to be grateful for all. Now I'm just happy that I have another day to enjoy my garden no matter how it looks. Even after having tornadoes touch down here. Property damage but "Thank God" no life was lost.Lolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-7012830788568048472010-01-22T16:54:56.150-08:002010-01-22T16:54:56.150-08:00Barbee--you are always so positive!

In fact, all your pictures are so good! I really enjoy them!<br />I need to try and not complain about the weather like I do. We don't have it bad here in Texas..sigh..something I will work on! :)<br /><br />Cindee-your post are always positive and uplifting! Makes me feel good to read them. Guess we all wish for things we don't have, but my complaining is getting out of hand! :)<br /><br />Very good point Tina--we do need to get things off our chest, I hadn't thought about it like that. Gardening is my passion--but I don't have enough time OR enough space and the space I do have is difficult. (not complaing, just stating fact!) Once it warms up and I am back out working on the little beds, I will stop being so negative. (I hope!) :)Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-67487100387808775962010-01-19T20:41:16.647-08:002010-01-19T20:41:16.647-08:00Hi Linda, Oh yes I think I'd have a hard time ...Hi Linda, Oh yes I think I'd have a hard time facing up to my complaining. But it is human nature to complain-yes? And sometimes we just need to get it off our chests. As long as we remember the good things and think positive it all works out in the end-even gardens. P.S. The more I work in the garden the less time and energy I have to complain:) And we are always here to listen:)tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-68124863405775517662010-01-19T20:05:17.397-08:002010-01-19T20:05:17.397-08:00LOL yup guilty here too!

But its a good type of complaining because its something that motivates you to make changes instead of complaining about other things(-: I try everyday to be positive and even when people try to bring me down I just try harder to ignore them(-:<br />I feel the same as you as far as family goes. I couldn't ask for anything more(-: OK well maybe a million dollars...(-:<br />Enjoy the rain and cool temperatures like I do because I think of Summer when its bone dry here and I am wishing for rain and coolness(-:CiNdEe's GaRdEnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118389145887562360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-87881926005860061832010-01-19T18:46:43.162-08:002010-01-19T18:46:43.162-08:00Such a great philosophy!

I never knew about frozen fog either till moving here to Ohio. Maybe it happened in Michigan too, but I wasn't into photography then, so I never noticed! Now I'm addicted to it. Every time it's a cold fog, I check for crystals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-20115565671215565202010-01-19T17:40:27.704-08:002010-01-19T17:40:27.704-08:00Nola--oh, I like that, "opportunities!"...Nola--oh, I like that, "opportunities!"

A former boss used to refuse to see things as "problems", she always looked upon them as "opportunities"; that was a great outlook, I should try to have that outlook a little more often.Nolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12233644555327847881noreply@blogger.com
