Quote: one of my short term goals was to plant some flowers this weekend....I did! I went and bought too many flowers and got started getting them set out. It was striking to me, shocking, really, many of my garden tools were laying still right where I dropped them (literally) the moment I found out about the A last fall. I think there's something symbolicly strenghtening in going back and picking them up and going on. I helped S rake his veg. garden to get ready to set out a few plants. Life was in such upheaval last year, even before confirmation of A, that we never even got it planted. Who was it, Thoreau, I think, who said "a well tended garden is a symbol of a well-ordered life" or something like that...
What great imagery! And what a positive and literal step forward! Thanks for sharing it!
