The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It.

The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It.

 

Family and friend relationships can suffer when a person yearns for what someone appears to have elsewhere, thinking it's better. The well known quote comes to mind: "The grass is always greener on the other side."

 

Experiences in life often teach us that is not the case. Not even close! Nurture what is before you, pay attention, take other people's feelings into consideration before a life altering decision is made and there's no turning back.

 

Avoid coveting what is not yours personally or professionally, build and maintain your own. Even if eventually attained at the cost of other people, it most likely will not give the higher level of satisfaction desired upon arrival!

 

A neglected lawn will surely dry up, wither and die or become weed infested. Relationships fade as well. Keep in mind, the grass is always greener where you water it. So, mind your own and watch it grow and flourish!

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! all things need to be watered in order to grow.  This is true of crops as well as relationships.

It works along the same line of not criticizing until one has walked in the other persons shoes.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! hi Wanda... that is something I tried to inculcate into our grandchildren when they were still kids. They grew up in a place and environment where there was lots and lots of money... and their parents did not quite have that money.

We all have challenges and understand our limits, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. Unrealistic expectations for one another is unreasonable and can end solid relationships when pushed too far!

Hi Wanda- relationships and living things all need nurturing. Take this away, and no matter where you are, it will fail to thrive.

The best relationships are reciprocal, Kathy Streib with true intention. If a person deviates or wants what someone else has, through ill gain, everything can be lost!

Also, give it grease and it will GO! Nurturing and growing is always better than coveting what someone else has. Well put Wanda. Jeff

Hello Wanda - if your own yard is important, proper maintenance is crucial.  There are times when it can be improved when other techniques.  Maybe it's temporary, something that lasts longer or in combination with other practices.  Yes, it's a work in progress.  So is growth.

Water is such a wonderful resource for us to have!  I hope that our tap water will get cleaned up with the new administration that is coming into place!
