One of my yoga dvds says, we must 'accept the great gift' - of kindness, help, love. This may be your time to receive help. And then you'll be stronger again.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-35480265146891745312013-06-22T10:11:43.591-04:002013-06-22T10:11:43.591-04:00Oh my

Being a nurse, I pray you will listen to your body. It is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign that you need to pamper "you" as much as your pamper and love on your garden and nature..... Just because you slow some, does not mean you are stopping.....when you feel better, it will be full speed ahead!!!

It was brave of you to share--and you are right--your blog friends you've never met in person are your friends nonetheless. Mainstream medicine can be very unsettling, but sometimes that's the path you must take. I know that you will heal. Rest and know that you have many people sending all best thoughts your way.nancy at good food mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498979861284571305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-52043669402982193852013-06-18T08:08:06.045-04:002013-06-18T08:08:06.045-04:00Hi Ernestine.

You do your very best, and it is so frustrating to have things get out of hand. You did the right thing, and I hold you close in my prayers and meditation that you will soon be enjoying your special place and all the beauty with which you are surrounded. I am sure your neighbor was only too happy to help. I'd be there in a second if I were closer<br />Healing and ease to you dear friend.<br />MarciaMsGrayseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904170938207154612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-27677617058824997532013-06-17T18:24:52.182-04:002013-06-17T18:24:52.182-04:00Yes, it's your turn to be taken care of, even ...Yes, it's your turn to be taken care of, even if it is hard...
