We are having a garage sale today and people kept asking to see our pond. I am always so shy about showing it because I feel it is not so nice. People kept saying my backyard and pond look like an oasis and paradise! I was beaming!

Funny how we think our ponds look worse than they really are. stand up and be proud of your pond!

We see the flaws they see the beauty.

I was rather ashamed of my pond. But when other people look at it they see the plants and fish, and that's what it is really all about.

A lot of times we don't want to admit to ourselves that we might have done a good job so when other people look at something we have done we have a hard time accepting a compliment, but sometimes it's important for us to look at what we have done and be proud :) great job!!!
