I'm here and I'm on the mend

I forgot about this song. . .I used to listen to it repeatedly when I was riding my bike on the bike trail in Lisbon.  I remembered it today and it made me smile.  It feels good to smile.

Lemon love

we made roasted broccoli with garlic and lemon a couple times lately.

This is one of my favorites--I roast the asparagus in the oven though instead.

I made light lemon poppy seed muffins last week.

This is the best lemon yogurt I have ever tasted.  I also love the plum walnut.  It is heaven!!!

It's not meant to be a strife


It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

Oh I



It's not meant to be a strife

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

Oh I



You're trying too hard

Surrender

Give yourself in

You're trying too hard

You're trying too hard, ah



It's not meant to be a strife

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

Sweetly

It's not meant to be as dry

To enjoy

It's not meant to be a stuggle uphill

Oh I



It's warmer now

Lean into it

Unfold

Unfold in a generous way

Surrender



It's not meant to be as dry (surrender)

It's not meant (undo) to be a struggle uphill (undo)

It's not meant to be as dry

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill



I'm praying

To be

In a generous mode

The kindness kind

The kindness kind

To share

Me

To share me



It's not meant to be as dry

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill



It's not meant to be as dry

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

If you're bleeding

If you're crying, darling
