Not worry about what's unimportant.

Not answer the telephone if I don't feel like answering it.

I always do my garden in a green and white theme. It attracts a lot of attention. People stop to look - neighbours have asked if they can copy it. There's just something about the green/white that appeals to my senses. Here's what I combine in my garden: hosta, hydrangea, white peony, and mosses. I am NOT a gardener believe me, but I just go by instinct. In fact, I apologize to all the living things I'm responsible for. I do what I can and then tell them "The rest is up to you." LOL

One of the most difficult questions to answer when one is a gardener. But I would like one single white Calla lily in the centre of a wild array of greens on my casket. White and green. Elegant, cool, calm.

Hey, Shug. I've been watching to see if you'd post again! It's good to read your post. I also love to sing. It helps me through the hard times. Joannie

My husband for somehow finding the strength to live with me, who taught me about love when he was so ill six years ago, and who, today on the anniversary of 33 years of marriage, bought me the most beautiful card and placed two huge Mums on our patio for me to find.

My children who have taught me too many lessons to write in this short post.

My parents whose lives were examples for me to follow as I've matured in both age and life experiences.

The earth for putting up - still - with our destructive behaviours - and still providing the soil for our food, trees for shelter and flowers to add to the beauty.

And so very much more
