It has been a blessed four to five days. My pain level has been low, I am smiling, my body is joyous, my gardens are growing, changing...just added sharp pink petunias to the purples and oranges and what a difference they made. The gardens look like gardens! What one color can do. These days are beautiful. Please remember them as you savor them now. Remember how real they are so that when the pain takes over you will not let go into hopelessness. Remember the joy.
