Hoping For a Green Thumb

Every year I realize I love new things. I am constantly forcing myself to do things that I hate, and very often fall in love with it. For example, I have hated running as long as I can remember. I even refused to run a mile in my high school freshman P.E. class, even though I knew it would drop my grade to an B+. When Warren asked Marie to go running with him about 8 months ago I didn’t want to be left out, and I also wanted to prove that I could do it. I ran a mile nonstop and was completely shocked by how easy it was for me. I then began running everyday for about 3 months (I still go 2-3 times a week) and on average ran about 3 miles. Also, I used to hate cooking and baking until forced to when I was around 12. I soon fell in love with it and anyone who knows me, knows that I cook or bake something almost every day. The new thing that I have decided to change is my passionate hate and dread of gardening. Ever since I got my first bonsai tree (and then killed it) and my first orange tree (it survived!) I have been growing more interested in plants and gardens. My goal this summer is to attack my side garden and make it beautiful (or at least not as ugly as it is now). I will include before and after pictures as soon as possible. Good luck to me!
