Each year I take myself camping to recover from #fibromyalgia. This year, I’m also recovering from cancer. Being here reminds me to pay attention to daily moments; respond with compassion to my chatter of self recrimination and observe the beauty and diversity of life in this remarkable landscape.

It’s such a great season for roses in Central Victoria. This is a heritage rose from my front garden. Two years ago, I picked some flowers for a friend who had just finished chemotherapy. Little did I know that two years later it would mark the end of mine. #cancer #natureheals

Yesterday, I sat in the garden to take in spring. My post chemo / fibromyalgia fatigue was so intense that I couldn’t stand. So, I sat there for an hour, flowers in full bloom all around me watching honeybees up close, sipping nectar from one flower, gathering pollen from the next and felt lucky.

It’s that time of year… for planting veggie seeds. Way behind due to a year of intensive and challenging cancer treatment but I’ll still give it a go..

This week I read Claire Keegan’s ‘Small Things Like These’ which asks us how we will act on injustice. Brilliant writing. Highly recommend. #BookerPrizeShortlister #literaryfiction #BookClub
