Our home teachers came by today and we were discussing the topic of women and how many of us feel such inadequacy and often compare ourselves to other women and mothers and how we often think the grass is greener on the other side. My friend Rachel (who’s blog is now private so no link sorry!) posted an amazing quote on that subject a while back and it has stuck with me.
The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be. -Robert Fulghum
Steve Mullenaux one of my home teachers posed a question this afternoon,
“Do you know why the grass is always greener on the other side?”
His answer held more truth than I was ready for.
“Because there is a whole lot of crap over there to fertilize it with.”
I love it! That is the best answer I have ever heard. So true!
