It is brilliant, and I couldn't agree more with your sentiments. This year, my own "resolutions" were centered around things I love to do, namely gardening, the point being that I would be doing them whether or not they were associated with any new resolve. <br /><br />I am now Ivy Cladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307765640404949525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-15745866988121199662013-01-17T11:52:54.915-08:002013-01-17T11:52:54.915-08:00You little essay is so true - gardening is a wonde...You little essay is so true - gardening is a wonderful passion which gives back so much to the one who gardens and a bounty to be shared with friends of family.
