This past three and one half months have gone by quickly despite the highs and lows I have had with my health. This cancer diagnosis and all the tests that I have had to have were so overwhelming and then all the drugs that were being given to me just put me over the top. I was feeling consumed by the cancer.
The warm weather and the visit of my daughter and grandchildren has helped me to return to my normal self. Melinda helped me to plant flowers and Jordan and Melia helped me to clean up the messy lawn. The sunshine and the warmth have brought forth the Daffodils, the Tulips, the Hyacinths, the Bleeding Hearts, the Columbine, and the Iris'. I had lost my interest in gardening but it has returned and I have been spending a lot of time outdoors working in my flower beds. Yesterday I returned to my garden plot and started to clean it up. I uncovered the Strawberries and discovered that they survived the winter. We should have a good supply of them this spring. The Rhubarb is also up and doing well. The Raspberries are starting to send forth their leaves.The Thornless Blackberry that I planted last fall survived the winter so I am looking forward to having some of them this spring/ summer as well. My life has resumed and it feels good.

ReplyDeleteI know how you were feeling - sometimes a trial can completely consume your life. But, when you realize that you're still you no matter what situations you may be in - that's when happiness and peace returns!
