My best friend in the whole world, sarah, once said something that I thought was hilarious: “It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry.  So, I didn’t.”  Of course, I’ll never let her forget that.

I have the opposite problem of Sarah; I’m often over appologizing for everything.  I don’t even want to think about how many times I say sorry every day, for the silliest things!  So, I’m not apologizing, and I’m not making excuses for not writing on my blog.

I will say, though, that my quality of life has greatly improved over the past few weeks, and I’ve actually been able to sleep, and cook a little, and catch up with old friends, and work on the garden.  I’m still quite the busy bee, but I’m much happier now that my life is multifaceted again.

Hooray for relaxing!  Now, that’s something worth blogging about!

I’ll also give a big hooray to gardening.   The recent hail storms in Oklahoma took a big hit on our garden, but we have had some survivors.

I started off the morning pulling up some weeds, and then I trimmed some of the beet greens and lettuces and pulled up an icicle radish to make a simple salad.  I drizzled it with a simple vinaigrette of grapeseed oil, honey, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and lavender, and then I added a bit of tarragon, also from the garden.

So, it’s been a great morning so far.  I can’t wait to see what the rest of the day has in store!
