Thanks VJ. Haven't actually done much gardening since I took a break for lunch. I am now just enjoying sitting here in the garden with my labtop.

A voice in my head is trying to make me feel lazy and guilty for just sitting here relaxing instead of 'accomplishing something'. Instead of agreeing with the assessment I tell myself back, 'I am accomplishing something. I am practicing self care. Yesterday was taxing. It is wise for me to take the time to recover because if I don't it could cost me tomorrow.'

No doubt I will get back to the flowers that need tending but for now I am just taking in the sunshine and the cool breeze coming through and giving thanks for the space I am blessed with to have a garden so giving of beauty and healing energy.
