Daily Thoughts And Happenings
I've got about half of the area dug where I'm going to have my small garden. It was extremely easy to dig because it's been so wet out. There were some concrete bricks over by the same house so I'm using those for a border for now. Next year it will be a square foot garden. I'm not sure what I'm going to plant yet but I do know I'll plant tomatoes and squash.It's been raining again. I really love the rain and those cloudy overcast days. However I'm ready for some sunshine. One good thing is that it's cooled off and we don't have to run the AC. We want to run it at little as possible so we won't have high cooling bills. This house is a lot larger than the other one so we need to be careful. As the matter of fact, we are looking into solar and wind energy as an energy alternative. From what I've found online, it's very doable at a low cost if you make it yourself.
Comments from previous post.
Lisa: Everything will be fine. I have no doubt about it. I think it's interesting your daughter is always seeing 911. She could possible look into numerology and see what it means. There is a meaning behind everything.
Tori: It does seem that way doesn't it? Those people who have all the challenges are learning life lessons and progressing spiritually....that's the way I look at it.
drgngrl: You have a great day also!
Dana: I will check out that blog for sure when I get a chance. So was your son born at 4:20?
Happy Mother's Day to you as well!
Indigo: What can you do? Ask the universe for more! More good, not bad of course.
Donetta: It's awesome that you have those numbers for your birthday! Your numbers do add up to a number 1 when you add them all up so I see what your Mom is talking about. Thank you for your wonderful comment. :)
Bobby: I agree with your whole comment. I will take those steps right along with you. :) I especially agree about the green energy....it is definitely the way to go.
Hi, Barb: Yet again. It's like you're speaking directly to me. I've been a bit down in the dumps over this retirement thing. Worried about what direction my life is taking and that I haven't done more with my life. Now, you are reminding me to be grateful. To recreate my reality and make it positive. Going to start working on it! I couldn't find the link you mentioned about the movie- Secret. Am I just not focusing in on it? I'll try again. Thanks for all your words of guidance. D
ReplyDeleteGreat post as always!

Can't wait to see pictures of your new garden!! Don't forget to plant some basil to go with the tomatoes and squash.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy Mother's Day to you! Yeah, I'm late, what else is new, so sue me!! LOL
I am grateful for having you as my friend. <3
ReplyDeleteWhat am I grateful for? Hmmm... Let me think...
ReplyDelete(In no particular order):
1. I'm grateful to have my husband, who's stood by me through everything (despite me offering him the option to say, "I didn't sign up for this," and leave).
2. I'm grateful that we have a regular income, and that we aren't facing the prospect of unemployment and lack of finances (as many are right now).
3. I'm grateful that we have a roof over our head, even though we don't own it ourselves. It's still better than some have.
4. I'm grateful that we have plenty of food to eat.
5. I'm grateful that I'm still alive.
6. I'm grateful that I have the freedom to use my own mind, and make my own choices about my beliefs, and my life.
7. I'm grateful for my family and my friends.
8. I'm grateful for all the things we have. Not because it means anything to me to have piles of material posessions, but because we are in a position to have them, which is more than many people can say.
9. I'm grateful for Kero, because he gives me the strength to get up and go out for walks in the scary world I've been forced in to. Without him I don't think I'd be able to face going out for walks without another human with me.
10. I'm grateful for the senses I have left. Without which my world would be even more of a scary place than it is now.
Anyway... Good work on the garden. :)
I'm grateful to have discovered your blog and to get to read it.
