I've been pretty much moping around the house for the last few days, feeling pretty sorry for myself, and I decided it stops now. There's a lot to be thankful for, even if things aren't going my way right now. I took a few days off work-- I don't usually do this because I find that being at work keeps my mind off things, but I just couldn't imagine being able to put on a happy face for my class.
A friend posted this on Facebook (thanks Kim!) :
Worry is an attempt to control the future. Guilt is an attempt to control the past. Let it all go and let God be in control!
Trying....
Anyway, last night I went to the grocery store and got a bunch of marked down tomatoes (not bad tomatoes, just not pretty tomatoes), and when I got home, I started some tomato sauce cooking. It's been cooking down since last night--in the crock pot, and now the lid is propped open to let some of the water evaporate. Then I will add onions, peppers, garlic, oregano, fresh basil and whatever else seems appropriate. I will probably freeze it for when K. comes home--she loves my tomato sauce.
Fertilized the "orchard" this morning. (Said orchard being a meyer lemon tree and a key lime tree) They both look really good. Everything else in the garden looks good too. Maybe tomorrow morning I will mulch the cucumbers again. They are looking droopy.
Hang in there, my friend!! big hugs.
