Summer Days

Went over to the Island the other day to sit on the beach and just relax. Although it was cool and quite windy I ended up with quite the nasty sun burn LOL! That will learn me !!! Needless to say it was wonderful to lie on the beach dosing, listening to the waves and the wind, feeling the sand between my toes. Summer is here! I need to take more days like that where I do nothing ... otherwise I stay at home and find something to do, build, create, clean, write....... need to slow down.

BUT.... all in all, life is good. I now have a firm foundation and I can start building on it. The last four years have been a great journey, but now I want to move forward.

I am now dealing with excess.... almost everyday I find something in the house I no longer appreciate or want, and I put it outside on the fence or on the sidewalk. It takes a few days but it disappears. I love this recycling where someone else takes it for their personal use. Makes me quite happy. We also take our empty liquor bottles and beer bottles and put them in a bag on the fence where there are two women and one man that collect these and cash them in. Again, I feel really good about supplying them with these items.... :)

I am looking around the room ...... today a star basket will go out :)

Off to the market to shop today ...and then .... who knows :)

Gardens are a greening and I forced myself to sleep in this morning.
There is an octagon window in my bedroom which I force a pillow into to keep the sunlight out.

I deleted all of my old posts today.
For the last twenty years I have accumulated, and now I am paring down.
I kept the posts in a word file, however I am not going to leave them like laundry waving in the wind....especially as they are about transition .... and that is all they were.. postage stamps, post cards...text messages.... blurbs.

I know it will help clear my mind to start blogging again .... let it out on "paper."


Today I will replant the Rose of Sharon .... put a Lilac in its place.
I bought two Rose of Sharon last year, one loves where it is, the other is stunted.... so I will move them closer together, hoping that they will both thrive.

We will see.

Then off to lunch with an old friend.

I feel tentative today ....which is not a bad thing.
Humility can be explored and honored.

I just feel rather small and confused at times..... :)
Have not blogged for awhile... all is good....

but I think I should start again ...

just for the blog of it :)
