Cleansing & nourishing. This is our second day of badly needed rain. Yesterday's physical therapy session brought me much closer to full spinal alignment. Am posting this surrounded by the scent of more blooming gardenia flowers. The emotional roller coaster continues but I feel a lot more grounded. This injury has taught me a great deal about truly living in the moment - each and every moment - and honoring my choices rather than second-guessing them.
Emotional well being isn't really the same thing as superficial "happiness" and/or feathering the nest of our individual comfort zone. Of course I've known that for a number of years but I don't think my theory-to-practice ratio has reflected authentic self-respect. Because my personality is so enamored of pushing boundaries, I've also pushed my psyche as well as my body. It's what I wanted to do, yes, in order to prove that it could indeed be done. I have always had a horror of being Too Small a person. Still do...
....a nightmare we have in common....what a rain it has been. sun breaking through here and with it new growth. greener than green.

we are getting the sunshine just in time to watch it set. WOW the rain has been such good medicine for the garden and beyond. Think the little two headed water dragon played a part in this ...
