Stranger still...

You might have noticed how abrupt and choppy my writing is and I do apologize for my lack of fluidity and coherence. I understand that writing should be likened to travelling on a smooth road with appropriate punctuations as road signs however my writing style can be compared to a pot-hole filled road with broken signs. The ride might be a tad bit rougher than you expected but the end result is the same - you reach the same destination. So I do genuinely apologize for my short comings in the world of literature, I can only hope that from here I will get better. *fingers crossed*

Anyhow, I received a great epiphany of a hobby that I should undertake within the near future.

I reached this resolution today as I went to the grocery store looking for string/green beans. I found them but it was so expensive. Then it hit me like the anvil hitting unsuspecting Coyote in Looney Tunes.

Revelation: To make a vegetable garden.

Why should I have to buy my own vegetables when I can just grow my own? Also, it would be a fun project to undertake. Granted the 'fun' is entirely up to me. I am looking forward to seeing this dream come into life.

Acknowledgements.

I would like to use this space to thank those who helped me in reaching this conclusion. First and foremost to my Heavenly Father for providing the anvil. Secondly, to my best friend Andrea for being a great example as she is endeavoring to create her own little herb garden. She is even going to crown her wonderful project with a beautiful addition of Lavender. I am excited to see the garden of grandeur she will produce. I would also like to thank the future persons who will contribute to my vegetable garden. I can only assume that they will include the assistance from my siblings as well as the possible dictatorship from my dearest mother and grandmother. Help may also include those who will give me valuable information into the nurturing of my vegetables and possibly even providing me with my first seeds, sprouts and what not. Thank you all.

I am looking forward to this project but I understand that all things are never for sure but I can be comforted by this scripture that my siblings and I read last night:

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. - Proverbs 12:11

Personal Interpretation.

I believe that this verse means that one who works hard on his own land or in his own job will be satisfied with what he reaps. However, one who is easily caught up in the dreams of 'get rich quick' schemes will eventually find out that all he has understood is disappointment. So if I work hard in my little garden I can be assured that my hard work will yield results. That being said, if the end result is not a favorable one I can come out with the understanding of how to grow crops or how not to grow crops.

As President Thomas S. Monson says:

Working Will Win When Wishy Washy Wishing Won't.

So I leave you with the understanding that I will do my best to bring this idea into the realm of reality or as easily expressed by one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis:

In every department of life it marks the transition from dreaming aspiration to laborious doing.
