so you plant your own garden...

        After a While

After a while you learn the subtle difference between

holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn

that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

and presents aren't promises,
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead,
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.


And you learn to build all your roads on today

because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.


After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much, so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.


And you learn that you really can endure,

you really are strong, you really do have worth,

and you learn and you learn.
With every goodbye, you learn.

I have cancer cells in my breast in multi focal points.  There is no mass.  I do not feel sick.  It was a shock to me when the results of my bilateral biopsy showed malignant cells in my right breast.  I was shocked, stunned when I first heard this news.  Oh, Jesus, I said, How can this be ???
 My body heals so quickly.  Immediately I asked where do I go from here??? 

I AM HERE back in the middle of another chance to learn lesson for living.  I have been in a an intensive learning room before.             All Shall Be Well.  

Like a seed planted in the earth I will grow.  From this learning experience I will look a bit different but it will still be me.  
Souls do not break, they bounce ;~) 

I am Ultra Feminine Warrior.                All Shall Be well


Winter will be here for awhile then Spring will come again




Tuesday was a warm and sunny in Clarence NY so I planted my bulbs in my new island garden.



Winter will be here for awhile but Spring will come again ;~)
