Angels Among Us


This morning, I received the most unexpected act of kindness. In today's mail was a generous helping hand. It was sent anonymously and really appreciated. It was a relief to be able to meet some of my families needs today without worry. Thank you to to the person(s) who thought of my growing family.
Truly overwhelming. May you be blessed a thousand times over.

The latter part of the day could have benefited from a weather and garden angel. The weather here was 90 degrees F with 25 mile an hour wind gusts and a 50% chance of rain. Because of the high winds, we lost all but two of the vegetable crops that we planted in the peat pots less than a week ago. All the "lasagna" greenhouses were blown off our balcony and the peat pots were ripped and soil, gravel and pans were scattered all over the street and sidewalk. The only crops we still have are the radishes and strawberries. Such a defeating feeling but I know that the it will pass and we will try again.

There are times that we all just want to stay in bed and hide under the covers because life seems a tad too tough to bear. However, it is important to remember to stay positive, surround yourself with a healthy support system and regroup from time to time because.............
the Universe will always provide.
