I said, "I'd like three bushes."<br /><br />"Do you have any now?" he asked.<br /><br />"Nope," I said, "so I'll need more than one variety, right?"<br /><br />"Yup, which ones do you want."<br /><br />"I haven't a clue, just pick them out, I'm sure they'll be fine ... and if they aren't then I'll come back and get something else. You know best."<br /><br />What a shock I gave myself. What a good feeling that was to just let it "happen" and be good with whatever it was.<br /><br />A lot of that attitude has come from watching your struggle and learning from you.

I got other things to nurture and I don't want to divide my attention. I think even the pooch suffered in those initial days of my daughters' infancy.Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.com
