Love this on so many levels, Holly:

“The truth is that even the best choices can have dire consequences. Sometimes you have to make those choices anyway, and simply accept the ache of regret as the catastrophe unfolds. On this planet, there is no life free from harm.”

You could always look at this from a different angle....

In actuality you are helping to select for vigor and adaptability within the gene pool.

Only the strong survive is ever present in nature, this is how species win the long game, by exposure to agents of change and disruption. One weed pull at a time, little by little, and your efforts are appreciated by millions (of critters and maybe a few of your neighbors, ha ha).

Always look forward to your posts, keep up the excellent writing!
