This summer I wanted to build a little “Island” in my back yard. Really it is just a landscaping project designed to hide some utility boxes in the yard but I call it an island. I planted some Oleander plants and after a week the leaves turned brown and appeared to be dying.
I looked at my options of digging them up and replacing them or continue to water them in hopes to revive them. I decided to water them. Faithfully each night I would water in hopes they would make a comeback. Each day they looked worse and worse until one day a couple of weeks later I noticed some new green leaves appearing. While I did not know the end result I knew I had to do something. Now the plants are thriving, full, and beautiful.
Remember this, "The best way to face the uncertainty of tomorrow is to consider our options as events unfold today."
Welcome to REV'D
As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.
Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.
Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.
