Blooming Flowers at the Schuster Office
By
As I pulled into the parking lot today, I noticed the flowers blooming on our shrubs outside The Schuster Center. I am reminded of the beauty that surrounds me on a daily basis and how sometimes I miss the beauty because of being too busy. I love the outdoors and I love planting and growing things. I guess you can never take the farmer out of the girl from Indiana.
The garden in my backyard is growing and I will soon have vegetables for some healthy meals. While the rest of the country is preparing for winter and gathering their final crops, here I am planting a new garden and waiting for the harvest. In this part of Arizona we have a spring garden and a fall garden. The summer is too hot for the garden and everything dies off.
Just like our lives and perhaps your dental practice, in order for new life to spring forth, a period of dieing off must happen. We have to be willing to end the “old way” to make room for the new. Have you gathered the harvest and begun the planting process for the new to come? If you are seeking change, a plan for transition is needed. Happy gardening and Happy creating!
