Note to the Follower
You may be wondering why you are here at this page and what it is that this blog will add to your day. If it will add nothing to your day then you know you might as well not be here. You may find comfort in knowing that if this blog does in fact add nothing to your day then it will be as if you never were here and there's no harm done. Below I have provided further details for your post-blog experience.
[1] You have found something here to take with you. I have said something worth saying and you are thanking me for this blog. I accept your thanks.
[2] You are leaving with nothing. Perhaps you will try again... perhaps not. I will not apologize at this point, for it's as if you were never here and I find it unnecessary to apologize for something that never happened. Thank you for never coming to my blog. You would have been a waste of bandwidth.
It’s a beautiful life. I stayed home today from work and went flower shopping with my Grandma who is visiting from Pella Iowa. We bought a hundred dollars worth of blooming colorful flowers and then came home and spent the rest of the day playing in the dirt, trying to get them all planted before it rained. If you have a green thumb at all you are reading this and thinking of how wonderful it all sounds. What you don’t know about me however, is how much I hate gardening. I don’t mind getting dirty and working outside but when it comes to masses of ants, spiders, weeds, and roots... I opt out. I can honestly say however, that today was one of the best days of my life. My Grandma was getting so much joy out of making our yard look good and she wasn’t even going to get to enjoy the finished product for long. Her happiness was contagious and I found myself smiling and laughing and transplanting and digging holes and dead heading and pulling weeds and rolling around in ants for hours in the heat with out even thinking about how labor intensive it all was. Attitude is everything, and it all started with my Grandma getting joy out of our joy. In turn I got joy out of her joy and in the end everyone is happy and our yard looks similar to The Secret Garden. I really believe everyday could be like this for us if we all got a little more joy out of other peoples’ happiness. It truly is a beautiful life.
