RECIPE
A recipe for living with warm thoughts through the New Year
First, Plant 3 Rows of Peas:
Persistence, Patience, Peach of Mind
Next, Plant 4 Hills of Squash:
Squash Gossip, Squash Grumbling, Squash Selfishness, Squash Apathy
Then, Plant 3 Rows of Lettuce:
Let us be kind, Leet us be responsible, let us be respectful
No Garden is Complete Without Turnips:
Turn up with a smile; Turn up with a healthy attitude
Water regularly with confidence and love and
let your garden bring forth much fruit.
If we could all remember to cultivate this, no challenge would be too great;
And what a wonderful world this would be!
