I am one of those people who manages to seem strong, confident and capable during a crises. Even when I'm scared to death. Now that my husband has turned another corner and is feeling healthier again I'm feeling like I can shed the pretense. I am back to being me.
I realized this morning I might even be a little cranky. Definitely overwhelmed by all of the chores that didn't go away while our focus was diverted.
Time for a reset.
No one wants to be around a cranky grandma.
So I set off to the Humboldt Botanical Garden for some floral therapy.
It worked.
I feel better equipped to be kind to myself because I'm doing the best that I can.
The garden is just starting to feel spring like and my son's memorial dogwood tree is showing buds that promise to bloom a little later.

@NorcalGma2 I'm glad you're getting a little "you" time!

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 Don’t like to say this about myself, but I am also one of those people, up to a point of course. You always deserve some “you” time to recharge, but certainly after some trying times and adventures. Botanical gardens are the best, we also have several of those around here. Glorious colors in spring, summer

More garden walk photos. There was a brand new rock garden that they are calling a crevice garden.
The circle labyrinth is at the top of the hill.

Well done for remembering to look after yourself again. You may be in a healthy minority, given what I've read about stats on carers.
There are circle labyrinths in a couple of parks in my area. They are deceptively simple and take a lot longer to complete than I expected.

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 I'm so glad you have a restorative place to go
but also, it's ok to not be ok
take some time to feel that, too -

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 The lilac looking flowers look like blueblossoms; in the buckthorn family. They're quite prevalent along the Coastal regions from California to Southern Washington state

@NorcalGma2 a really nice garden!
@carolannie
It is a work in progress but has made amazing strides with dedicated volunteers. -
