Someone (of course a man..ugh!) said it to me, that he told his wife "Your not a kitten anymore". Double ugh! I wish I would have said back to him at the time "No, but she's a cat with nine lives, so look out"..oh men!! Yes, we can still surrender a bit and not feel so guilty about it and not be so hard on ourselves. Life is just too precious and too short. I have my energy days and then some not. You got it girl, and its ok Jaymes. Take in your world around you and don't focus too much on the imperfections, just marvel at nature, everyday living, whatever the day brings and humble yourself as best you can. Hooray for your results coming back good I say. Prayers still being said for those who are waiting or fighting a battle. On the gardening front, well I am embracing this gorgeous cool down. It was a day of digging and I loved it. Was outside all day. Oh, Aaron, you are one lucky guy in so many ways,camping out in the squirrel and a ride back to the city in the adorable bug and with good company! Hugs Jaymes..you are blessed. P.S. Botanical sounds wonderful. Keep it on the list, as summer isn't over yet. <br /><br />Debra <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-34440474640357699472013-08-08T10:58:36.451-05:002013-08-08T10:58:36.451-05:00What a great post!

LOL...Jayme, I am going to practice those queenisms. LOL Actually last two weeks I have. While fighting a sinus infection with my second antibiotic...I broke a tooth clean off at the gum line..went to my dentist with an emergency.He fixed the tooth till I can get to the oral surgeon...thanking God it happened at home , not on vacation. As I park at the dentist that day...the check your engine light came on...what more is all I thought at that moment..you know how we are. So I do the gas cap thing which sometimes makes the light go out..well no luck on that, drive right to the mechanics,, they take my car in , lucky me...I walk to my daughter's home, close by, counting my blessings....2 hours later the car is fixed and it was the cheaper problem...counting my blessings. And this too happened in town not while on the road...see I already do those Queenisms. Blessings to you too Jayme. xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-6982416820274853502013-08-05T09:09:46.583-05:002013-08-05T09:09:46.583-05:00For now my precious friend.....just be.

Everyone has good stuff, it's the not so perfect stuff that reminds us that we are connected to each other as humans. No one better than the next. Hugs and love you.
