Good morning Three Roses,

Many thanks for your reply I'm glad you enjoyed this post, I think I might create a new thread in the Café for gardening so I can share photos there and hopefully share some useful tips for gardening, but yes I feel exactly the same! there's always something new to discover around here Have a lovely day! 

[A Reminder for the day/week;]

I've been gardening this week and learning more about the environment I live alongside with in our village.

Gardening has been really therapeutic for me and the more I do the more I love, I've also started looking further in to old folk lore and learnt that if you wish to you can tell the bees your secrets, so I've been in my garden most of the weekend, sharing my story and secrets with the Bees in the sunshine. Great listeners whilst they work away, It felt silly at first but I've always been fond of bee's.

I've learnt a lot about how far I've come this weekend and I really want to make sure I remember this, I want to remember the sun, the birds and the richness of my garden sanctuary. I've started meditating and envisioning the garden whenever I'm in times of stress, to try and bring back a balance and remember the peace and clarity of the area. I feel so renewed and feel like I power up when I'm in the garden, like a little eco warrior.

This is the part of recovery I love, my self compassion and self care comes in the form of a trowel, mucky gloves and my watering can. It's funny, I have this idea in my head that as soon as I am outside I start to draw energy from the light and I become the protector of the garden, and no one can claim this area as its free to do its own thing, I'm just there to ensure that the flowers grow and flourish as I do. I like a lot of wildflower and look to ensure that every part of the garden and its ecosystem is not disturbed too much. Tonight I'm planning on making a bug and insect hotel, I'll post a photo of the outcome to the journal and simple steps if anyone is reading and wishes to do the same.

A Reminder for the day/week;
Drink plenty of water in the hot weather and wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Remember how good it feels to watch plants grow and powerful mother nature really is, remember that you are also part of nature and you also have a pool of strength inside of you that you can tap in to when you need. Be kind to yourself.

such beautiful simple pieces, you've given some real vibrancy to these paintings   im a big fan, you've inspired me to pick up the paint brush (and a treat for me) this evening. Thank you for sharing

I like my green eyes
I like that I have gone back to colouring my hair any colour I want to, (currently looks like a refresher, all orange and pink and tangy) and I like that I'm taking real good care of my hair too to do so.
My wonder of the world (big and small)  - Its a beautiful place to explore and I love that quality about me.
I like that I give back to the planet as much as I possible can right now.
I really like my freckles.
I like me a lot more since I've started recovery.

what a nice post to post in, thank you 

I love this so much! thank you for sharing Kizzie
