Spring Dreams

Jan 29, 2013

I had a thought today that caught me by surprise. This is the first time in 30 years that I am able to look forward to gardening. Every year I have all these dreams and then I get out there and cannot physically attain any of the goals I have for my yard and garden due to size limitations. Last year at this time, I put my dreams away. I said to myself, "just put it out of your mind, you cannot do it. Maybe next year...."   I was hoping maybe the surgery would get approved and maybe I would be smaller next year and be able to do it. Well, I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can bend, I can kneel, I am flexible! A year ago I was 356 lbs. Today I am 248. I have lost over 100 lbs and   know I will be able to get in that garden and make another dream come true. Last year I did container gardening on my deck. I made myself get out there. I sat in a chair and planted tomatoes and herbs. I did it as a homage to my mom. She and I always had a garden together when she lived here before she passed. This year, God willing, I am going to plant all her favorites. Las year I had to hire someone to pull my weeds and  clean my garden. Look out weeds.....here I COME. Thank you God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
