Am I planted in the right spot??


This little hosta was planted in my front flower bed last year. It did not do very well. It got too much sun and not enough water. In the early spring, it was doing well, but as the summer progressed and the weather became hotter and drier; it started to wither and turn brown around the edges. Last fall I transplanted it to the garden on the north side of the house. this spring, it was later in coming up than my other hosta in the back yard garden. I am hopping that it was later only because where it is planted doesn't get as much sunshine. I am hoping that it will thrive and that I have found the right combination of soil, water, and sun.
Sometimes, I look at my personal life and there are areas that are not thriving. I have to look at these areas and see what is missing in my life that is not allowing that part of me to thrive. When I discover what the problem is, I need to take steps to correct it if I truly want to thrive. Just like with my plants, it may take a radical change. I need to decide, am I ready to go through the stress of the required change or do I choose to stay where I am and continue to be a puny plant when I have the potential to be a thriving healthy plant?? The choice is mine. My results and my health will be a result of the choice that I make. What about you? Are you thriving where you are planted? Do you need a change? Maybe nothing radical - maybe just some extra water or fertilizer??
