Gardening
Having just posted a comment about gardening in someone else's LJ, I thought I might expand on the idea here. I'm not sure where I originally heard it.
The idea is that many things come into your life. Some will be useful things, such as job skills or friendships. Some will be fun things: games and music and amusements. Some things will not be good: weeds and poisons. In order to grow and mature, you'll have to constantly tend your garden, pruning bushes to keep them from getting too wild, and taking over, and keeping bad things out.
Right now, my garden is in a bit of disarray. I've been working on getting rid of weeds of anger, jealousy and despair. I'd like to put a soothing fountain, maybe something of a waterfall over in that corner to make it a restful spot. Not quite sure what to plant in that corner, however.
