In Health & Sickness

Feeling sick like I did today just makes life harder, but it goes on. Fortunately my main task today was to get ready for my display and worm magic show at the Fall Festival at the Urban Ecology Center on Saturday. But any time you do not feel good it just makes doing anything harder. Fortunately my ‘bug’ is quickly disappearing, but it is still a reminder of how many persons, like my friends Ann and Marna, live with constant sickness. Marna lives with a long list of illnesses and Ann with an unidentified heaviness and pain in her chest. Both keep going and making the most of life. I remember how sick my sister was when she was dying of cancer. To do anything, even working in the garden, takes real courage and willpower when one is sick. However, physical illnesses, hard as they may be, seem easier to deal with than the suffering of persons with depression and other mental illnesses. In our fast-paced society it seems like a growing number of persons are suffering from illnesses, physical or mental or both. I am daily reminded of how blessed I am with my health.

Making pictures today, for the display at the Fall Festival at the Urban Ecology Center, of the gardens in front and back of house, my sunroom GP box, my worm bin and depository, vertical growers and plant stand as well as my Air insulation system made me realized how blessed I am to have the opportunity for these home model garden systems and with the help of the web and my wiki master, Tegan to share them. So in health and sickness Uncle Bob of the nonviolent worm lives on.
