Our Basil is doing really well and smelling great already! I saw that some wonderful people watered my Basil for me today and I didn't even have to ask. Thank you!!! I was off doing my math homework when they did me that favor. My little plants got the help they needed from somebody other than me... Hmmm... So the world really CAN function without me controlling everything! This leads me to my next thoughts...
As school progresses I'm realizing how fast time flies by when you are doing what you enjoy. I love challenging myself and growing. I've known for a long time that a person won't grow unless they move outside of their comfort zone and try new experiences. Even though I may not understand or like some of the changes I go through I never regret making the changes in the end. I find myself in a rut every now and then and feel the need for some sort of change. This week I've learned to let things go... Really, I did! Life is not always fair, and people may not see things the same way I do, I may not get a perfect grade on an assignment or get my entire to-do list done every day. And the world will not end because of my mistakes. I've also learned once again that we can all benefit from the help of others. Sometimes I have a hard time giving up control and trusting that somebody else really can help me to learn a better way of completing a task or that I can rely on them to give me a boost when I need one. I'm also realizing right now that I do not enjoy writing a blog very much. I feel really silly throwing all this out to people that I don't know. As I said before; Like it or not, I'm venturing out of my comfort zone and it's not killing me.
I love your post for the week. You are very detailed in describing what you have learned and how you are growing. I find it very important to let things go, but I also know that it can be difficult sometimes. We will succeed.
