Judging from this look..not my daughter's favorite time. Yes, so many plants that she had to hold a flat in her lap, as did I. I worked an entire day of overtime for these flowers, so smile, damn it! Anybody who knows me well, knows that Spring is my Christmas. I save all during the year just to be able to creat a jungle outside my door during the summer months that I can nurture and enjoy. It has become my new vice. With the old vices of cigarettes, alcohol, and fast food being a thing of the past, this vice doesn't seem too bad.
Isn't it odd how we humans spend the first 30 years or so of our lives abusing our bodies and spending the rest of our lifetime trying to rectify the damage we have done. And there is absolutely nothing we can tell younger people to instill a sense of mortality at an earlier age in an attempt to keep them from falling into the same bad habits.
So, this week I go to the gym 4 days, go to the oncologist for my 6 month cancer follow-up, drink lots of herbal tea and water, take my bizillion vitamins and medications, eat mostly protein and vegetables, slather on SPF 50 when I go outside, and still work 50 hours. No wonder kids don't like healthy living...It sounds awful boring!!! Thank God for my flowers.
