where I spent many mornings, after my appendectomy, *resting on my laurels. Happy to say my recovery has progressed nicely too.
I finally remembered to look of the origin of this *expression.
The phrase/idiom 'Resting on your laurels' dates back to ancient Greek and Roman traditions where victorious Olympians or generals wore crowns made of laurel wreaths as symbols of victory, success and status.
Thanks to our

ReplyDeleteNice company you had, too! So glad the healing is going well. YAM xx
I am glad your healing is going well. Nice of the rabbit to keep you company.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear that your recovery is going smoothly. Interesting about 'resting on one's laurels' too.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Gail (who is recovering from her intense bout of weekend socialising).
We are so happy that your recovery is coming along nicely and what a wonderful visitor to make you smile☺
ReplyDeleteI see hippity still likes your yard.
ReplyDeleteI think I knew about the "laurels on the head" ... but did they "sit" on them? Might they not have been itchy or prickly? Always pictured them putting their you-know-whats on velvet pillows! (Doubt you sat on "laurels" after your recent surgery
ReplyDeletedid you ... wasn't a soft cushy pillow more comfy?) ... Ah well, happy-hump-day!
Hey there Cecilia, we're glad your recovery is going along nicely. Enjoy the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad to hear you are doing well after your surgery. It was nice of that bunny to keep you company but we hope it didn't eat any of your nice plants.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you are doing well. That bunny is sweet.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you' re recovering well and sending Katie loves and purrs straight to you. Mine too.
