Tuesday Thoughts

New moon on the horizon tonight, last day of May 2016...so many changes, it can make your head spin.

I picked blueberries this morning, the mockingbirds are giving me a run for the money on our berries this year.  Even as I picked this morning, they swooped down and fussed at me.

Hot and dry, so far the crops are ok, but if we don't get rain soon things will get iffy.  The good news, we have peppers, squash and tomatoes almost ready for the picking.  Yummy.

Early bed time tonight, I teach a 7:00 am class in the morning so it is rise and shine earlier than normal.

Hump day tomorrow, wishes and blessings of smooth sailing, moments of laughter and maybe even a few hugs for good measure.

Answers

Rick was the guest speaker at a local Memorial Service today.  I was proud of him, for being chosen and for the words that he shared.

The heat has been brutal today.  After the Memorial Service we came home, and I left for work.
As I was waiting for my students, I began to jot some thoughts down in a small notebook I keep in my yoga bag.  It was really just random, free thought sort of stuff.  After I had written a couple of pages, I read what I wrote.  To say I had an epiphany would be an under statement.  The thoughts that flowed so freely brought tears to my eyes.  I found answers I did not even know I was looking for.

A transformation took place in my life today, those words I wrote to myself put wheels in motion.
I urge you all to carry a small note book with you daily.  When you have a few minutes, write your random thoughts down or maybe a question you need an answer for.  If you write freely, without overthinking, you will be surprised, as I was.  You really do have the answers, you just have to take a few minutes of stillness to find them.

Remembrance

Just in time for the holiday, my bleeding heart burst into bloom this morning.  Enjoy the rest of your Memorial weekend, remember those who died.

Place of Gratitude

A very lazy Saturday.  I love Friday night gigs, you still have a weekend, even if all you do is nothing.Most everyone I know has plans for the long weekend, but we left this one open.
I will work on Monday.

Dinner was laid back and simple tonight...roasted chicken.  Some times you just need simple.
For all of you who have a jam packed, fun filled weekend scheduled please don't forget why this holiday weekend takes place.  Take a moment, close your eyes and find a place of gratitude in your heart for those who have given their lives for this country.

Goodnight, Sweet dreams

Seeds Coffee Gig

We had a wonderful time playing at Seeds Coffee House tonight.  Friends and family dropped by to hear us, and my niece Becky took this photo, which I think is really cool.
Hope your Memorial Weekend is off to a great start!

Fish Out of Water

Since Rick is vice-president of our local chamber of commerce, and the annual banquet was tonight, I came home from work and put on a dress.   I spend my days at work, bare feet, and yoga pants, wearing essential lavender oil.  I admit it is a little strange to get dressed up for something other than yoga class or performing on stage.  I always feel  like a fish out of water...truly a transformation.

We are so excited about out gig tomorrow night.  I love to perform at new places.  Our friends are always kind about our performances, but when strangers enjoy our show, I know we are doing something right.

It's rather late, I am tired and I think I might need a cup of hot tea.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams

Basket Head

Had an issue with vertigo last night and this morning.  It took the meds awhile but they kicked in and am much better this evening.  Vertigo reminds me of the meningitis episodes I had during treatment... there is no being tougher than the episode, at least not for me...not much you can accomplish when your head is buried in a waste basket.

I had a 7:00 am class schedule, so my trusty substitute volunteered to teach it.   In case any of you don't know, Rick subs for me when my head is in the basket.

Still not a 100 percent but getting there.  Hot tea and an early bedtime await me.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams
