One day a husband was outside doing yard work.
As he was working, he looked around and saw most of the other neighbors’ yards flourishing with lustrous green grass.
One neighbor, preparing to sell was getting an upgraded deck and backyard creating what looked like a “extra fill dirt”.
The husband thought to himself, “ maybe if I can grab some of this fill dirt from my neighbor and add it to the dry struggling patches of grass, it will grow “.
And so he did.
Weeks and months later, as the dirt began to settle he would learn that the “ fill dirt” was full of rocks, concrete and other things making his yard worse.
He became overwhelmed leaving the yard work along with everything else to the wife.
The wife worked hard to take care of the family, the home including the yard work slowly removing the rocks allowing for growth.
She eventually decided to sell and upgrade like her previous neighbors.
Moral of the story is this. The grass is greener according to how you water and take care of it.
But it’s also not about grass.
