This is a picture of my prize pumpkin. I planted 3 seeds this year and set a goal to grow a 100 pounder. I wanted to show my 4 year old son how a little seed can grow into something really big. We went out every morning, for almost a month, to pollinate the flowers. We even played bees and buzzed around the yard a little.
So, the official weight is 35lbs. Now I realize this is not meeting my goal, but it is the largest pumpkin I have ever grown. I learned a bunch about growing pumpkins this year and have spectacular plans for next year’s 100 pounder. I am not defeated.
Why does this matter and why am I am writing this? Because I realize I need to recognize the minor victories of life and get excited about them (even if no one else does). If you don’t reach your goal, acknowledge where you are, be thankful, learn from your situation, and make plans for the future. That’s the best advice I can give.
