Dog Days of Summer 2009

Sherbert Floribunda - 3rd Bloom Cycle - August 2009

I knew it was going to be a long hot summer last winter when I was unemployed and conducting a demoralizing job search.  Although there are lots of things to criticize, there are also many things to be aware of and thankful for.  For example, although we are experiencing drought conditions and have mandatory water rationing here in San Diego County, using a drip system I am still able to water my rose bushes responsibly and have been rewarded with a 3rd glorious bloom cycle.  Although those pesky green caterpillars destroyed my crop this year, I found a fabulous new non-toxic product called “Green Light Worm Killer” with BT – its good stuff.  Of course we are all suffering from this crippling economy.  Despite it all, I have still been able to get out and have some fun with friends and family.   I guess if I had to complain about something, my one regret in 2009 would be that I haven’t been able to kick my addiction to Milk Chocolate.  In any case, my health does not seem to be any worse for the wear and BTW, what’s the point of being perfect in an imperfect world anyway? 

Arrive early, ask quietly….trust your instincts…

In November 2002, Kathryn Kern was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her treatment was successful, but in the process, she had to give up her travel business and take a corporate job. The combination of facing a life-threatening illness and changing careers made her value her weekends more than ever. Now she has a Nine Step Program for keeping her weekends free, pleasant and worry-free.
