Your mind is the garden. Your thoughts are the seeds, the harvest can either be flowers or weeds.

- William Wordsworth -

The rain had been plenty these recent weeks, making weeds grow so fast and thrive so well on our little garden at the back of the house. If we are not going to clean them soon, the whole backyard will turn bushy which would not be pleasing to see. And who knows if rodents or snakes might make it their home and we wouldn't really wish that.

So I was thinking out loud this morning about spending the day out there to clear the weeds off but the husband suggested he will cut them at another time when he buys petrol for the grass cutter. I was relieved 'coz I wasn't really feeling it, LOL!

It dawned on my that I have gone a lot lazier as of late and as much as I'm inclined to blame my hormones, I know all too well it was just an excuse. By giving in often to the so-called excusitis disease, it grew and made me prone to postponing to do things or worst, not starting any of them at all which is very unlikely of me. Glad to have realized it now while it's not too late to kick it out or it will make my being its permanent dwelling, lol!

How about you? What have you been watering in your garden? Have you been tending to excusitis or procrastination just like me? Have you perhaps sown seeds of worry or fear? Or have you been taking good care of negativity?

I'm usually guilty of talking quite lightly when saying "I can't" even when I know I actually can. I became so used to saying it that at some point, I ended up believing I really cannot do things. That's because I have been drowning my self-confidence and making the lack of it thrive. When I realized it, I learned to start saying, "I'm not so sure but let me try."

It sounds a lot better, yeah? Also, it makes the mind work and find ways on how to do things. It opens possibilities unlike when saying "I can't" which puts limitations or giving it a dead-end.

Hope you're tending, fertilizing and watering the good things in your garden :)

Dear @ifarmgirl!
Wow, It was my first time seeing an onion flower, and I was amazed at its beauty!
I have only eaten onions until now, but it was the first time I realized that onion flowers are beautiful!

In East Asia, where I currently live, it is getting cold in winter, but in the Philippines, it is still warm in summer, so I am envious!😄

Thank you for good photos!

Glad you first saw it here :)

It's also colder these months and summer will come around March. But yes, we don't have winter so it is perhaps a little warmer here compared to other places :)

Thank you too for your kind remarks, I appreciate you lots!

Glad to know you're trying your best Johnsen, sometimes laziness poke its head and when we give in to it, we lost track of things.

Thank you and have an amazing day to you

Like humans, plants in garden also need nourishment, love, care, touch and attention in order for them to grow, to flower, and bloom.

Thank you for your inspiring thoughts @ifarmgirl 🥰 I can relate to it too...

Many times when laziness and procrastination strike, we have no control over and other times, we must gear up quickly and do what we have to do. I remember while still in my hometown, my cousin will make sure to water the garden before he leaves for school. I think he has made it his own routine to always do that and he never allowed anything to get in the way.

That's very true PrincessB. We have to kick our own butt to get out of it.

Your cousin has a good habit of not letting anything get in the way of doing what he do.
