A
wonderful combination of garden, sunshine, and gentle breeze helps lift the
spirits. Having fed the goldfish in the pond, and watered the tomato plants
(both in the greenhouse and the great outdoors), a sit down on the garden
bench, slightly shaded from the sunshine’s full glare, provided a rich reward.
Birds,
bees and butterflies, a kind of fluttering congregation, hovered and winged around
in close proximity to me. I couldn’t really say whether they were oblivious to,
or acceptingly aware of, my presence. I even enjoyed the shadow play on an
adjacent wall, an animated conversation between shadow and light.
It was
almost as if this simple celebration boosted the efficacy of the preceding dose
of tramadol. If only thinking positive thoughts could provide a cure, today I’d
be the healthiest creature on planet earth.
Unfortunately,
there are too many occasions when even the necessary stamina for true relaxation
is in abeyance.
