Today was a long, frustrating day with the lawyer, administrator of the nursing home, and mean woman at Orphan's Court, but reading all the lovely and kind comments has done me a world of good (along with the magic of flowers)!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-53137507147163417362018-02-12T22:56:54.801-05:002018-02-12T22:56:54.801-05:00Thank you, Annette!

I got a lot of pleasure out of the mundane task of taking care of my plants, and will remember that for the future. I used to have a lovely large cattleya orchid that I received as a gift, and was heartbroken when I repotted it and it died shortly afterwards. I'm sending you good orchid repotting wishes!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-47900152772734239092018-02-12T20:24:56.094-05:002018-02-12T20:24:56.094-05:00Welcome back.

Many of us are at that age when parents are leaving us, we have an inkling of what the grieving process is, and though each of us is different I have sympathy for you and your family. <br />Dirt, yes, dig in and feel and do speak to them plants . . . they know how to feel, in their own way of course. <br />You have a lot of plants (and room wow), I am in need to do just what you have done, only my orchid needs repotting and I am not feeling secure about it.

I don't have many houseplants but I have managed to keep a Boston fern that I had on the deck last summer alive - so far. I've been thinking of you and hoping that you'd be back to blogging soon.

I don't mind dirt under my fingertips and have always deeply loved the smell of gardening. You know... that earthy, lush, dirt smell! <br /><br />I am glad that you had some things to occupy your time while waiting an inordinate amount of time on hold to complete tasks that should be simpler. Nothing like making the grief process even more challenging to add in the things on your list.

I've always found that working in a garden, whether it's indoors or out, always brings comfort, peace, & healing.

Your plants look happy for the attention and care and you're happier for the accomplishment. That is the lesson of being "in the moment".

You used your time on hold most wisely, and I will try to keep that in mind next time I am on perpetual hold. The mindfulness coaches would enthusiastically endorse your ability to stay in the present moment! The best way through is just to keep going, and it seems that is what you have been doing. I hope the continuous paperwork and detail begins to wrap up soon. Kym sent you a perfect gift to nurture hopefulness.becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-68976587080027954962018-02-12T08:52:58.485-05:002018-02-12T08:52:58.485-05:00I'm glad that you are back.
