For days I basically dragged myself around, my attention span was that of a gnat … did you know that these little insects besides being a bother.. can bite, (they feed on blood) (biting midges)
I mentioned the other day that I had returned to the “bush” and spent some time in the dense overgrowth… pruning back, and clearing areas that were getting too dense to walk clear of wet prickly vegetation.. it was time well spent, but I was exhausted from the effort.. when I finally sat still .. my body had something to say about my activities.
Well dear reader… my body decided enough was enough, and took my mind off of wandering the woodlands. It allowed me to feel its opinion..I started to sniffle, sneeze, ear blocked, I felt a cold sore coming on.. and then it struck with the symptom it knew I was not going to enjoy,, chills, Let’s just say, my body does not have a sense of humour.
I’ve been practicing a lot of C A L M …. the rip van winkle kind.
How are you doing? Did you experience any of that thunderstorm we had the other night. Do you know we still had hail around one of the flower beds yesterday afternoon.
/all in all, today is a brand new day. Sun is out.. what adventure will it bring my way?
I can no longer sit like this for hours on end, but I can still sit. and. Sometimes I simply lie back on a deck chair and watch the clouds.
Try it. You might like it. No cell phone, no music, just you and the sky!
Come on… let that shoulder tension go…. imagine being out under that beautiful blue sky… hear the birds off in the distance. Smell that early morning wisp of air that is gently tousling your hair…
How often have you been having a conversation with someone, when you suddenly realize they aren’t really listening.. They may be hearing you, but they are not listening.??
