Happy May to you all! I love Spring because it brings renewal and hope. A fresh start. It's a good time to consider how you can breathe some freshness into your relationships. Are there any you need to prune out or any that could use a bit of nourishment?

Marriage, like other relationships, is like a garden. It flourishes with a bit of tending. Sometimes, I neglect my garden and other times, I am diligent about calling forth the best and the beautiful. I'm so much happier when I give my husband TLC. It would seem that I'm doing it for him, but I'm the one who benefits most. Showing my love for him makes me *feel* so much more...

Remember to nurture or weed your garden!
