A soft, quiet Sunday, a little blue, but finding my way into my work; a very brief bark from the pugs but I paused and started again as quiet calm returned!; the story of Rose, the healer to the 100 Ladies and to me, an allegory that shows us that we all have a rose within, the inner knowing that we can all connect to; making green drinks and scrambled eggs with basil; the last order for the garden this year -- geraniums, scented geraniums, lilies and herbs; being uplifted by the wonderful story of Susan Boyle; believing in our dreams at midlife and beyond.
