My Energy is Coming Back!

You just aren't going to believe this...

Not only did I do housecleaning piddling yesterday, I worked in my herb garden (picked fresh mint and oregano) AND (sit down for this one), I defrosted the large freezer downstairs! You read that right, I actually did a big project AND I didn't take an afternoon nap! I believe it's the first day since being in the hospital that I didn't sleep during the day.

The fresh mint is ready to go with a great big pitcher of spiced ice tea. Picking the oregano makes me want to put on a pot of homemade spaghetti sauce. I believe that will be on the agenda today after slipping to the store and getting the ingredients for the sauce.

It feels so good to be doing things that make me feel useful!

Sharon, What a joy to hear that you're feeling better! Praise God. I'm exhausted reading all that you've been doing. :) I'm so glad that you're enjoying yourself -- being in your garden, doing things around the house, etc. Thinking of you (and smiling), Darla

I'm so glad that you're feeling more and more like yourself each day! I know every step forward is a big accomplishment. But... don't discount those naps! They're one of the great joys of summer! :)

You sound so magnificent! Don't discount mint, basil and spaghetti sauce as pure medicinal and mind easing alternatives. Much love,

Love hearing about your mint! Ours is growing and I keep crushing it into lots of different things for that 'ahhhh' result. Still just love it in iced water.
