it’s changing something in me, to see my garden growing outside the kitchen window.  or I’m changing, enough to see the garden growing outside the kitchen window.  it’s strange to have become a person who’s kind of afraid to talk to her own blog.  but I will say here that I bought a “Shiner Family Reunion” at Food City last night, and I would do it again.  also that God is saying psalm 139 in my ear.  also that Marshall is a good one, and I’m making art, and my back porch is a place where God is and a place where God is is a place I love to be.  and also, you know how my antigen count was 238.5 back in the day?  well, I got the results back from the lab today and my six-month CA-125 is 7.9.  just so we can all know.  and be amazed, and feel like today is another day that God thought we should live in.
