Thanks Byz. Nice to be back. Especially on a high.

While I was enjoying time in the garden I recalled the last couple of times I was there. One time a truck drove by making so much noise I couldn't even hear my voice shouting profanities at him as he raced down the road. The next time an ambulance suddenly turned on its siren as it flew down the road towards the highway. Both times the fright brought me to my knees. It took me at least 20 minutes to stop the confulsive crying afterwards. Fearful something else might cause another meltdown I retreated each time to the quiet of my solitary spaces indoors. It was made worst to think that now even my garden, my source of calming therapy was being taken from me. Another piece of my life was gone.

Today some loud motor bikes went by and I didn't even flinch. I just smiled and kept on weeding. I felt so nice to have my garden back again.

Wishing you well my friend.
