Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

We have lived in this house for almost two years now. And the garden has been my fortitude. Watching my husband get diagnosed with cancer and then brave through it was challenging and hard and the first few weeks I was so angry at the situation and didn’t cope well.

I had fits of emotion that calmed as he improved.

But my garden.

My garden was a place I could wander and discover.

I spent the worst of the weather tackling brambles and the nice bits admiring what we had. I have added a bit to the garden now so it has improved a lot. But it still gives me such simple pleasures.

Everyday a new flower pops up. Some I have planted, some have always been there. It’s been a discovery and I am always in awe of what mother nature provides.
