Paying the piper too

I am so sorry to hear that you are hurting especially for doing something so much fun. I too am paying the piper today, I crawled around on my hands and knees and planted 25 pansy flower plants Thursday evening. I knew before I did it that I would pay but it is worth it when I see their pretty little heads poking up through the snow this winter. By the time it is time to plant them again next fall I will have forgotten how much I went through this fall. Soeme things are worth the price to me! Hang in there, hope you get to feeling better.

     I'm so glad that you wrote back about planting your pansies! I love gardening too. It is rotten that in order for us to be out "playing in the dirt" and enjoying ourselves, we have to feel so awful later. I'll be thinking of you and your pretty flower garden this winter. It will help me stay motivated. As a matter of fact,...I think that I will go out and "Play in the Dirt" on my next days off and plant some pansies too! Thank You My Friend!

Rena, It is 8 am on a saturday , and I came here looking for something to help get me motivated today. Your " you want a piece of me....come and get me" was WONDERFUL and just what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for posting that for us. You have challenged my thinking....I am asking myself....what have I let RA take from me and what can I reclaim? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,   Mel
