Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 418 - 'one' decision made

It's been an odd last few days.  My fever comes and goes but at least I haven't had to make a run to emergency again, woohoo!  I spend a lot of time just laying around waiting for energy to make its way back into my body.  I'm soooooo disappointed that this is how I have to spend my week off, sheesh! 

A package arrived yesterday from a fellow cancer conquerer.  It's always great to hear how others are doing...
  A book was in the package as well, it's about a local woman that had a stem cell transplant...man you think you have it tough until you read what some people have to endure.  What strength and determination some people have, I don't think I have that much determination in me.

We try to make everything fun, usually
we are successful.
Amidst my body fighting some kind of germ I spent much of this afternoon sending e-mails off to people to confirm that I will be closing Lavenderville down.  The hardest part will be when I go there to pull the 300+ plants up.  I hope to donate most of the plants to the town of Hope and a few will find there way home to my yard and family and friends that have room for a lavender plant in their garden. 

It's funny how dreams work, you think they are soooo important and yes they are but if they bring you more frustration than fun perhaps what you thought was a dream was just an idea.  I've never been really frustrated with Lavenderville except when I couldn't get out there to take care of my plants or expand the number of lavender plants that are there.  I will always remember harvesting the flower buds as I did this year but we plan on making a lavender garden on our farm when we retire.  So perhaps the dream is just being put on a shelf for a bit.  Besides I will be saving sooooo much money over the next 4 years not paying for the lease and insurance on the land.

Amazing, I wish I knew how to make these!
Eating is becoming more of a chore. When I drink water it just tastes like metal yuck!  So I try to add some flavoring to it, lemonade, ice tea....yummy warm lemonade and ice tea doesn't that sound great! LOL At least it has some flavor.

So as I move forward in many areas of my life, things also move backward.  To be happy I think you need to take some steps forward and then some backward to make sure you are really doing what you want.

Onward and upward.

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
