You may be a "stranger" at this point, or just a neighbour I haven't met yet. All the best to your family also for this spring & summer (when they finally come!).Garden Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555471590488138155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216858.post-89288912215313762822009-03-30T10:19:00.000-07:002009-03-30T10:19:00.000-07:00Hi, I am just a stranger visiting your weblog.

I learned this lesson early on in life for various reasons: 1) I met that fisherman; 2) my dad was about to retire and never got to enjoy it fully because he became terminally ill; 3) to work so hard just seems to defeat my purpose in life (i.e., spiritually enjoying my surroundings).<BR/>Now I am nearing 40. I am in good health; I have a wonderful partner and a small child; I am personally financially broke, but I have everything I need including a roof over my head, warmth, water, good food, a garden. I don't want for more and I feel very privileged already for having these basic things in life. I do go out to Van Dusen all the time with my baby son to en-joy and to let him touch and feel the plants and rocks. He so enjoys it. He loves the little water drops that form on the tips of coniferous needles after a rain. He loves to touch Douglas Fir tree bark and I just think that that is special. I wish you well and I hope that you can enjoy the spring and summer. They are lovely times of year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
