Now you may wonder why I’m reposting this on “Raves and Faves”… it certainly is not a happy event. I’m posting it because it is an example of one of the greatest things about the human spirit… the ability to be reselient when things go awry. My brother and his wife had an AMAZING garden… it was in the throes of blooming and growing… and then the hail rolled in. For the most part, everything was destroyed.
Here comes the resilience… when I talked to my brother this morning, he said, “Well, I guess this weekend we’ll be starting over. We’ll just have to replant the entire thing.” Wow… what no profanity? no shaking a fist? no cursing human nature? It may be that part had already passed but at any rate… they are my garden heroes.
We will be, for the most part,
Starting Over.
