Sunday Reflection’s…

A new year and I have been busy planning for it! Business plan, events, pond tours, workshops, jobs, early buys, plant orders and more… I haven’t missed a sunrise or sunset in 2023 yet! No it’s not a resolution… But I do really enjoy watching both 🌞🌅 Here’s a little collage of some of 2023’s best from the Beach!

Now is when the real work begins…

“Sunrise looks spectacular in nature; sunrise looks spectacular in the photos; sunrise looks spectacular in our dreams; sunrise looks spectacular in the paintings, because it really is spectacular!”

2022 is Coming! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

We are almost at the end of 2021! As we count down the last few days, I find myself dreaming and planning for next season 💭 I always get a certain feeling this time of year, it’s hard to explain it… it’s a combination of things… Excitement, exhaustion, hidden energy, creative thought, melancholy, and more all rolled up into a memorable, annual feeling! But excitement for the new year is always in the forefront!

We start the New Year with a big family dinner! The old school, traditional New Years food…

As far back as I can remember we have always kept the New Years tradition of eating a BIG family dinner! We have fried Hog Jowl, Black Eyed Peas, Turnip Greens, Cornbread and so much more … I’m ready to Welcome in 2022!

I also love my planning sessions! I try to do a yearly calendar and business plan… Without a plan and a target, who are you and where are you aiming!?

Every year I sit down and plan events with a fresh new calendar. This new year will be no different! If you fail to plan, your planning to fail! I’m looking forward to a great 2022!

Ready or not, 2022 is Coming! I hope it’s the best ever for ALL of us!

Happy New Year!

Blessed! And Thankful 🙏🏻

Today marks 28 years of marriage with the best girl I know! All I can say is, I’m blessed and I’m a Thankful man!

It’s been 28 years and it has literally flown by… She is still as pretty today as she is in this picture.

Happy Anniversary to us! Here’s to another 28 years together 🥂

Do YOU Believe in New Years Resolutions?

Resolution?

Res-o-lu-tion / reze’looSH(e)n / noun   

A firm decision to do or not to do something. Synonyms : Intention. Decision. Aim. Plan

Goals are important! But, IF you want it to stick – you better have a plan!

New Years bring out the best intentions in all of us I think. BUT, old sayings ring true… “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”!

Saving money and loosing weight are the top 2 things people are planning to do this year! BUT guess what? Less than 10% of people actually succeed with their resolutions… WOW!

Last year my resolution was to blog everyday in 2018! It hasn’t been easy, but I worked at it everyday & I did it 😊 So I know that you can achieve your goals too!

We ALL want to get better & do better, It’s just in our nature. BUT, to really succeed, you have to have a good plan, written down, that you can go back to and use as a reminder over and over! Nothing comes easy… So my advice is not to get caught up in the New Years Resolution craze! Simply make your plans, carefully and realistically, and work everyday to see them through!

Happy New Year everybody! 🎆
