Happy Thursday!

With all the rain we keep getting, the lawn is growing faster than I can keep up with it! Garden is almost all in, a few more seeds and I will call it good.  The weeds have also gotten way ahead of me.  It think it will be a year of too much rain in the spring and not enough in the summer. I may be happy for what I get as not sure I will be watering much this summer. 

Thank you Spirit Trails!

I have also had company, 5 days with my cousin and her husband when we did a bunch of work in the house. I have a friend coming tomorrow for 2 1/2 days, others just stop in for a bit, talk, go home. Seems like I am always doing something around here in between! Always something to do. Reminds me, I must go charge the mower starter. I hurt my shoulder and am using the self-starter. I have to admit, that makes life much easier. 

You have a great Thursday and I will try soon to go back to daily posts!!

 

 

Change and understanding

Thank you Courage, Strength and Hope

Change is definitely constant. My growth, healing and ability to change is totally up to me as well. I tend to procrastinate about technical things. I have found I just need to dig in and learn things because they are going to change whether I want them to or not.

Thank you Spirit Trails
Just as trying to understand someone's suffering and pain. It is hard to put ourselves into their shoes and know what they are feeling. Instead, just try and accept they are suffering something we may not be able to understand, accept that, and understand they are indeed suffering.  Go from that premise. 

It is time to get out into the garden and do some things, even though I don't want to and my shoulder is still giving me fits. I am enjoying staying in and 'puttering' on things I do want to do but are not as necessary right now as other things outside.  So... on that note, have a great Friday!! 

Remember and forget

Thank you Spirit Trails

My cousin said to me this visit, I was more like I used to be. It is hard to get back to who you are when you were so busy being  what everyone else needed/wanted. It is not easy to forget who you are supposed to be nor is it easy to remember who you were.  

With all the rain, the weeds have gotten way ahead of me, then I hurt my shoulder falling, so that set me back even further. I have to figure what will get done gets done... the weeds may wait another month, or more!

 

Past or future?

Thank you Spirit Trails! Spirit Trails! 

Very good point! It is so easy to react the same way we 'always do', and much much harder to stop ourselves and realize it is really not how we want to if we want to grow and change. 

Thank you Spirit Trails! Spirit Trails! 

This post goes well with the above one.  We want to heal but we need to be aware of our actions while it is happening!  

Between company and appointments I have not been posting regularly. Hopefully I can get caught up and start being regular at posting again. Have a great Wednesday! 
 

 

Relax

Thank you Spirit Trails

I had company for 5 days and now playing catch up and medical appointments.  I hope everyone had a great weekend and a safe Tuesday. There are storms coming for us Michiganders, so be safe!!

 

Imagining 

I certainly imagine life being different than it is. Especially since I fell and hurt my shoulder. It will be awhile before I can do what I was doing, but will manage to work around it somehow.  But back to imagining. I imagine myself being younger, doing what I could do.  Sometimes in a different place or a different life. I wonder if I am alone in that? 

Thank you Spirit Trails
I am trying to understand my journey. It seems to vary so much day to day I sometimes wonder. But, time will tell! 

I have company coming that will be here until Monday a.m. so I may not be posting until then. Especially since my computer will be going down and another one going up... with some changes. 

You have a great day this bright and sunny Wednesday!

Getting out of my own way

Thank you M.G. Williams

We often stop ourselves one way or another. Our mind tells us we can't do that, we don't want to do that, we are afraid to do that. We procrastinate. The best things we can do for ourselves is literally get out of our own way!!

Thank you Imperfectly Simple

We can also feel so overwhelmed, too much to do so we do nothing. The above post works well with the other. We just have to do things a day, at task, or even a minute at a time!

Wishing you a great Tuesday!!
