 Thoughts To Ponder
As We Enter  a New Year
If I could live my life again.
Next time, I would try to make more mistakes.
I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
I would be sillier than I have been.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would be less fastidious.
Accept more risks, I would take more trips,
Contemplate more evenings,
Climb more mountains, and swim more rivers...
I would go to more places where I have not been,
Eat more ice cream and fewer beans.
I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones.
I was one of those people who lived
sensibly and meticulously every minute of his life.
Of course I have had moments of happiness.
But if I could go back in time, I would try to
have good moments only,
and not waste precious time.
I was someone never went
anywhere without a thermometer, a
hot water bag, an umbrella
and a parachute. If I could live again,
I would travel more frivolously.
If I could live again, I would begin
to walk barefoot at the beginning of the spring
and I would continue to do so until the end of autumn.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds,
I would contemplate more evenings and I would play
with more children.
If I could have another life ahead.
But I am 85 years old you see, and I know that I am dying.

Got You Covered
Bo Tidwell
As we bid farewell to 2015, I can think of
 so many things for which to be thankful, and
with each passing year, I realize how fleeting and
precious our time here on earth is. A shocking reminder this year was the passing of 
Wayne Sawyer, CEO of Bennett's Creek Nursery in Suffolk, VA., who passed away unexpectedly on May 30, 2015 at the age of 59.
 
 We were not close friends but we had mutual friends and knew each other from the many
years of exhibiting at the MANTS Show in Baltimore. Wayne was a constant there, greeting
all with a sincere smile and handshake and
an offer to help in any way he could in the
 moving in and out process. After 30 years of my tradition of beginning the New Year in Baltimore, I can honestly say that it will not be the same without Wayne next week.
 
Wayne was one of those people who was so genuinely good , that you just felt better being around him. I will not forget him and will always remember him as the perfect Virginia gentleman and the ambassador for the Green Industry that we should all attempt to emulate. The thoughts expressed in this newsletter about making the most of the time we are allotted on this planet are inspired by Wayne's legacy of Christian kindness, sincerity, and graciousness, and the impact that these simple graces can have
on the lives of those around us.
 
Rest well my friend, you have run the good race...
  
 Bo Tidwell
