Turning the corner


MJ definitely turned a corner yesterday. She took 4 long walks during the day, including a visit to the Magee organic vegetable garden, where we sampled a couple cherry tomatoes. Delicious! Her sense of humor is back, and it seems like she may really make it home on Saturday. She's not out of the woods yet....the pain persists. But it's manageable.

I've heard that a couple friends have spouses in the hospital...my heart goes out to you. It's no picnic. Is it the way the stars are aligned?

Crossed fingers for MJ to return home tomorrow.

    So happy (so, so happy) to hear MJ is on the mend and can sense it. If you can't be in your own garden, at least you are managing to get down to Magee's. There are 3 so you should try to find another one today!

    Its me again....sorry. I have tried to go on website to sign up and others have also asked me. It seems we need a code or specific invite? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Could you please post it again?

    Jonathan-thanks for bringing such sunshine our way. MJ, thank you for making such an effort. You are an example of faith, determination and grace to us all. We are certainly better just for having you in our lives. May this day bring you blessings beyond measure--that is what I will be grateful for! God bless you all. Hugs to Sam and Zoe, Tim and Joe too.

    There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh tomatoes under the warming sun being plucked right off the vine. Plus the refreshing breeze (in contrast to the other weather we've been getting, right?)

    I think about you and your family a lot. Just had a dermoid cyst (and left ovary) removed mid-month--pathology report is clean. Bodies are mysterious laboratories.

    I think it's terrific that Magee supports healing garden spaces and tickled that someone there is devoting time/energy to raising organic veggies!

    So, this may be a bit of info you file for future reference...still, wanted to post it before my "mental-pause" challenged gray matter lets it slip through the cracks.

    Here is the contact info for Acupuncturist friend of mine who comes HIGHLY recommended by other friends who've worked with him:
