"Life Rebounds"

As I mentioned in my last post, life has been like a whirlwind for me over the past several months.  Like a garden that needs weeded, I need to deal with the muck from the dark corners of my life that invade the healthy parts like cancer.  I have to say I have a good start and tonight actually going to see a counselor as well.  I figure it cannot hurt and may actually help me deal with issues that I may need a little help facing.

But speaking of actual gardening, we are well into Spring and our garden is ready for planting.  The weather has been gorgeous lately and it is time to put some seeds or seedlings out and let the journey of life take it's course and produce some fruits of the earth.  

This year it won't be a huge garden as too many other things are going on, but a small one and hopefully we will get some good vegetables from it as well.  We are both doing good with loosing some weight, and no better way than eating fresh vegetables from your own garden and no GMO either.  We know what we are growing.

Another thing I am working on is clearing things out of the house that I no longer need.  Just too much stuff bogging down our life, and I am slowly but surely working on that and hopefully before long will plan a yard sale.

It is a fact, planning out some structure in life always seems to work best.  Will life always follow the structure?  No, but at least there is a guideline.

Feeding the spirit

Life has a way for kicking you on your ass.  Like a garden left and unattended, weeds take over and eventually overruns the garden.  My life has been over the past year, much like a garden overrun with weeds, yet there has been enormous strides in clearing the weeds from my inner garden.  Of course like anything else in life, once we start getting on track, something always throws a wrench in the middle of everything and sort makes a mess to be cleared up.

Recently someone came back into my life after 42 years and sort of opened my eyes and I started to realize that I have been suppressing a huge part of my being.  Now I find myself trying to figure out what I am suppose to do that is the right thing for me and what path or direction I need to go in my life.

It seems to always be something.  But one thing is for sure, life is not boring and the universe certainly seems to give you a lesson in what you need.

What I do know is I need to nurture myself and accept nurturing from others.  Like a garden needs nutrients, so does the soul and the spirit.  Who will nurture me?
