Meh
Yesterday was 'one of those days'. A bit 'meh'. We have all had the odd one this Covid, and so I prayed, had some coffee, had a chat with people-ate a bit too much of everything-and went out to the garden.
This picture sums up GardenForGood for me. Just getting on with life is important, and a good strategy, but I think if we are honest, there are days it is easier than others. At the risk of being disowned by family and friends!!! I am putting up this poem I wrote a while ago. It sort of sums up what I was feeling, and how being outside is so good : )
My Happy Place I step outside-it’s looking grey I think I’ll go out anyway. The garden is so overgrow, I’ve watched it from my cosy home Go crazy. I find my wellies, fork and spade, And choose a place which offers shade From raindrops-or you never know, The sun may make a little show This morning I’m feeling glum and overwhelmed, Just life can really be a test, I start to dig, and brooding stops Until I notice the first drops- It’s raining. I’ll carry on a little while, The dog walks over, makes me smile, He’s happy to be out here too. I pat him, pull a weed or two. It’s helping A little longer, now I’m here, That major problem coming clear, I haven’t felt like this for weeks, My heart is glad, and nature speaks It’s beauty. I’m in the zone-just stop me now! I’m feeling this deep sense of joy. My plants can breathe-they’ve got some space, And here I’m in my happy place, My garden.
