I could so see myself yelling at a rose, too. great analogy to recovery, also. <br /><br />I can't stop laughing at Steve's comment about the rose going to Al-Anon...from the way your story went, the rose sounds like she might already have a homegroup and be sponsoring other roses. <br /><br />Thanks for the smiles this morning.

But your rose is beautiful. <br /><br />I marvel at how it is we slowly return to life and its ways after a huge life shift, whether it be the loss of a loved one or for me, the loss of a marriage.<br /><br />xo<br />erinWoman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-13982503054414261842010-10-20T00:55:07.678-07:002010-10-20T00:55:07.678-07:00a life lesson brought on by pruning, who would gue...a life lesson brought on by pruning, who would guess?!?!?!Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-88833397983448632022010-10-19T22:31:31.316-07:002010-10-19T22:31:31.316-07:00What a coincidence, I am writing about my rose as ...What a coincidence, I am writing about my rose as well.

But that you are determined to change your pruning habit--for the better. <br /><br />Maybe the rose bush should consider Alanon?<br /><br />Hey, I'm just GLAD to witness your (and my) good mood recovering<br /> No Matter What!<br /><br />PEACE!<br />Steve Esteveronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498524940140288735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-68237924379110927472010-10-19T12:44:19.278-07:002010-10-19T12:44:19.278-07:00The Cecile Brunner is Mrs. MM's favorite rose....The Cecile Brunner is Mrs. MM's favorite rose.

I'm getting better at nicer retorts. The cat menagerie definitely pushes my buttons. Yet, these gentle animals always remind me there is so much more to life. Peace is a hard template to constantly enforce in our lives. I'm thinking, landing somewhere in the middle is a fairly well lived journey.

Dr. M gets very annoyed - just do it in the morning! Of course, he's just as bad, muttering at Farmville when we should have been in bed an hour ago.<br /><br />When you said that your husband came out to ask why you were yelling "you suck" I started giggling & couldn't stop.
