Spring and Mary Update,,,,,,,,,,

If you are a gardener, you know. Life can be long or short. Life can be unpredictable. In the Garden. But for the rest of us as well. We don't know WHEN we're going to "Bloom." We don't know when we're going to "multiply", flourish, grow, die back or dry up.

We don't get to Choose the garden we will occupy. It's determined prior to our growth. We don't KNOW how we will be fed/nourished. We don't know WHAT weather will be influential in our lives, we don't know what is ahead of us. But we grow, we thrive, we struggle to resist adversities and disease.

And we grow Stronger. We cast off weeds, disease, and the richness of the soil, the light, the water Make us GROW.

This of course is an analogy. But one that I hope holds TRUE for many of us. You tend "Your garden." You live well, eat well, Do well.

And yet, you Still end up with Cancer. In this case, Cancer on your spine. They remove the Tumor, the disc's affected by the Cancer. Because,,,,THIS is priority ONE....No Paralysis. No Paralysis.
.
This week? Body scans. Results. Treatment scheduled. Radiation on the Spine where the tumor was removed. And Body scan reveals Primary tumor: On a Kidney.

So. This is where I step off.

Any insight appreciated.

Hugs, Love and a worried "Bus" on the Cheek!
