Life Lessons.........Staring at Pumpkins Doesn't Make Them Grow

"Staring at pumpkins doesn't make them grow!"
So simply said, I came across this statement in one of Alexander McCall Smith's novels from The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series. For some reason this quote stayed with me, it has become one of the many sayings that I use to get going in times when I need that extra push.

If you plant pumpkins and expect them to grow, you have to put work into it watering, weeding and tending to the patch in order for them to grow. Well its the same principle if you have things in your life that you need to change. You cannot just sit there looking at the same set of circumstances every day waiting for things to change. You have to actually have to work hard to make changes if you expect results.

So just get going and start working on the things in your life that need to be changed. Start working with the little pumpkins and work your way up. Change takes hard work but the rewards are so worth the it..... Tell me if you had a pumpkin patch, wouldn't you want to see huge, juicy, mouth watering pumpkins in that patch? Well your life is a pumpkin patch so stop sitting there staring at it and start tending to it.........

How do you define "In A Relationship"?

I've been thinking lately about definations and how drastically one person's defination a relationship can differ from the next person. I'm speaking here specifically about dating. So you meet some one, like each other start hanging out often....you are "getting to know each other", then if you guys are still hanging out after a while it becomes "dating" until eventually he/she is your bf/gf.......

Here's what I want to know.....How do you make these definations? How and what determines if some one is your boyfriend/girlfriend? I'm just saying....people define these things very differently. One person might think that they are dating and another person might think that they are still just getting to know each other. So how exactly does this work? Can't wait to hear what you have to say.........

On a similar note, just threw in this treat for you. Perfect song to get things started right for the night whether you are just getting to know someone, dating or in a relationship.....
