Pruning

deadhead any grudges
slough off wilted feelings
instill a will to replenish
what was lost with more
abhor stagnation
regain greater growth

Your "Pruning" is a wonderful write. From time to time we need to do pruning in our yards and with people in our lives. I wish you would write more. Have a blessed day................

Now that we are pruning in our yard, I can relate to 'slough off wilted feelings' - I feel a bit guilty but then think I am making room for new life~
