reaching to the day
one photo a day inside
I changed the rings I wear on my right hand (I do that every few months, sometimes it is years between changes though). So now I am wearing "nest", a tree shaped ring with a moonstone that I made for myself a while ago but never really wore till now, and a square jasper ring that was made in Mexico by someone with enough pride in their work that is signed (but I don't understand the symbols). I have had the Mexican ring for a long time - I got it when I first started to make silver jewelry (1996?) and appreciated it's simple but pure design even then.
Fighting the inertia again. To-Do lists (kind of) help. What do I really want to do? What do I really want to say? Probably it's better not to say anything - I should be taking in wisdom and spiritual thinking right now instead of sloshing around in my own thoughts. Focusing on gratitude for what I DO have, cultivating acceptance for the life I truly HAVE chosen for myself are the directions to go in. I didn't get outside at all yesterday (except to walk across the lawn to next door and retrieve something from the basement). My mood is probably partially caused by being closed in. Today I want to take down the sun umbrellas from the 3 Umbrella Room and put them away. That will be some outside time to look forward to. Isn't giving mom her bath a worthwhile accomplishment? Why do I feel like I haven't done anything of value yet today? Baa!
I have gotten some nice comments on my photo entries here lately but I don't even know what to say - just a dumb little thank you would work I guess. So anyway, I do thank you for saying the nice things - I just don't have anything "witty" to say back so I don't...
The internet here is messed up more than usual today. I'm having a hard time even looking at any pictures on LJ. I want to do some etsy work but it is so slow and frustrating. Oops - now I see it is raining - that could explain the slow internet - water in the phone lines. Must keep slogging along though. I'm sure I'll figure out what to do with myself eventually, and writing about my negative feelings always helps them go away...
