Gardening For The Soul

….it’s off to work we go. I have decided that instead of sitting around, spending way too much time alone with my over-active imagination, I am going to go back to work and let my brain focus on something other than biopsies, body parts and replacements. Although with today being such a glorious day, the sun shining, the birds singing in the trees and the tulips in full bloom, perhaps I should rethink my decision! Anyway, although I don’t have a confirmed date for surgery yet, I’ll be doing a lot of sitting around after that, too. We have a pair of Cardinals in our yard and I love to watch them both, but the male particularly as the color is just so stunning. We have a tree just outside our kitchen window that he visits frequently. I have designated him as my good luck symbol, so when I see him there (he just was), I smile to myself and fancy he’s singing me a special ‘you’ll be fine’ song.

But the thing I am most looking forward to about going back to work is seeing so many of you again, getting great big hugs (when appropriate!) and having some laughs. For those of you I work with, please don’t feel that you need to treat me with kid gloves (the pills the Dr gave me are working great!?!?) and I am fine talking about the whole thing or not talking about it at all. Some days will be better than others and if I need a bit of space, I’ll just let you know.

So now I have to go check out my wardrobe as I have been dressing like a slob and a new season has actually dawned since I’ve been out. Don’t be surprised if I miss the train on Monday as I’ll have to reclaim my morning routine and the girls will have to be out of bed on time – the whole thing has disaster written all over it!

As always, love to all and thanks for the continued notes and comments. And for those of you wondering, yes, I did have to look up how to spell Heigh-Ho!
