The Gardener of Your Thoughts

Lou-?thos is so on target. Dwelling on negatives is like watering weeds!

Keeping a clean and clear mind is sometimes very hard to do. I will catch my grandson in a monk like pose sometimes, I guess clearing his thoughts?

Hi Lou Ludwig another thought provoking post....good sound advice for all to follow....

Lou,

 I never thought of our thoughts like that great analogy! I love it I hope you have a great weekend!

I love this one. I can see how this relates to someone's well being, but I'm also a gardener.I just came in from checking my garden. I might have to do some weed patrol in a few days to keep everything growing smoothly. 

Lou - just like a garden that is overgrown your mind can become overgrown with negative without gardening.

Fill your mind with beautiful flowers in your life becomes that much more fragrant and easy in context.

Grant Schneider is definitely right on this one! Keep staying positive and inspiring us to be more than we ever thought we could be!

Yep, some minds like abandoned gardens full of spiders and weeds, some minds are well organized and taken care of.

What a unique way of thinking about your mind stuff!  We can't always control the outrageous things life brings our way.  But, we can control our reaction to them.

Lou thank you so much for this touching post.  It seems very appropriate after my Have A Peachy Day post.  I think of my life as the possibility for growth, harvest and bounty!

Lou Weeds and challenges are below my shoes. Always moving Forward. 

Hi Lou -- what a great quote and a great message to live our lives.   Thanks for sharing.   

Good morning Lou,

I caught this on Kathy Streib's post on her "Ah-ha" moments for the week. I agree this is an excellent analogy and one we need to make sure we do..weeding out negativity is a daily battle we need to stay focused on.

Good morning Lou. I love this, and think constant weeding in life is so very important.

Yes, pull the weeds and nurture beautiful flowers or life-giving veggies in their place. 

Lou, weeding, de-cluttering, all of these mental "clean-ups" are good for all of us. 

And removing toxic personalities from your garden of thought makes for a healthy arena of positivity, too!

That's a whole new approach Lou. I like the idea of getting to the root of the problem and not spraying the entire ground with weed killer. I need to keep a closer watch. Here via Kathy.

This is such a great post, Lou!  Watering those weeds will add to your stress and that's never a good thing!
