THE SIMPLE JOY OF WATERING ONES LAWN....OR WATER THERAPY

My friends....when is the last time that you picked up a hose and watered...? It doesn't matter if you rent or own or even do your neighbors lawn, the pleasure and fulfillment from doing such a simple chore has been overlooked by many. The thoughts that come by, the giving of something to something else with us involved....is a good thing...

THEY DRINK IF YOU WATCH

If you really get in touch with this, you can sense and almost see the plants, shrubs, trees, lawn bushes and flowers drinking and being thankful for not only the water, but to the one who helped it along. Full appreciation for the water of course remains with the water maker....

WATER

Is it any wonder why all things look so refreshed, satisfied, clean, and taken care of after a good watering or rain. I also pay close attention to all plant life receiving the water too...For instance...

THE SYSTEMS WORK

Cactus has leaves that are designed to suck up and hold water because it doesn't know when it will see it again. It makes good use of water when it gets it. Flowers and little stems just starting out gulp the stuff gratefully with pedals being shaped to scoop and hold. Even trees have leaves that empty toward the trunk helping the water find its way to the base of the tree and then the roots...

NO SUBSTITUTES

No Valium, no drink, or cocktail can compete with the serenity of you joining nature as it it goes through its cycles. I am even willing to submit that where water is, contentment is not far behind either. When washing ones car, you can experience a satisfaction of cleanliness and being a good steward.

PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO WATER

Have you ever noticed how people flock to lakes and oceans just to be near them, touch them and smell them and even to just gaze upon them....So ancient is the role of water in mankind's life and in the identity of this planet.

WATER PERFORMS

Water....whether it be in you, around you or just passing through remains a very positive experience and the next time you shower, spend a moment on the sensation of water just bouncing off your body...
