My Garden My Peace
I know there are 12 months in the year and May is always my favourite with respect to seeing the garden come alive , new pots ,tubs,baskets filled with beautiful flowers ,the smell of freshly mowed lawns , the browsing round garden centres looking for something different to plant out ... I love it all .
There is no good day ,week,or month to drink then sober up and by far my last drunk then withdrawal was my lifetime worst ( last drink 11th May , only 9 days but feeling much much better) . It was never intentional to do this in May but I believe focusing on my gardening hobby let me heal quicker . If I wake and cant sleep I drift into ideas about my next task however small , I submerge my mind in the garden , the smells ,the textures ,colours . I guess you could call this meditation of sorts but it works for me and brings me peace .
