Although very cloudy today, the temperature is much warmer so I may be able to get some pictures of flowers soon. And if the rain holds off, I may be able to work in the yard this afternoon. Still need to prune some bushes!
I was wondering if any of you check the daily thought? As I was typing in the current one I began to think about how often this has happened to me...both with little adventures and big ones. I bet if you look at your life you too will realize that when one door closes or one adventure ends, it lead to another door opening and a new adventure beginning. The adventures may not always be what you planned or even wanted, but they do make life interesting!
I finished planting all the seeds (March's Intention is finished during March!). You may wonder why I have weights on the top...that's so Cookie Monster (our very inquisitive kitten/cat) doesn't shove the tops off...
I am also getting the hydroponic planter ready for herbs. The plant medium is soaking. Once it is done, I can plant the seeds...
Interestingly, the hydroponic planter wants the LED lights turned on immediately whereas the seeds in the soil do not want the LED lights (Yes, there are LED lights in the round green plastic circle on top!) until the seeds have sprouted and tiny shoots are up!
I need to make dinner this evening and I'm just not sure what to make. I'm thinking of a variety of salads but it's still cool...maybe a tuna/noodle salad with soup? Maybe a chickpea and black bean salad? I'm in the mood for something light. Sounds like a salad meal to me...oh, and I have some imitation crab meat in the freezer...another salad!!! Think I just decided on dinner!
I started reading another mystery book by an author I have not read before...Lucy Connelly. The mystery is called 'An Irish BookShop Murder' and so far I am enjoying it. If you're looking for something to read you may want to try this mystery.
So, have you ever asked yourself if you're holding onto something that you really need to drop? Maybe an angry feeling by something someone has said or done in the past? Or a guilty feeling by something you have thought, said or done in the past? Or even grief over something or someone is no longer in your life?
The problem with holding on to these feeling is that the only person being hurt is yourself. I remember eons ago when I was in junior high, I interpreted someone's action as disrespecting my father. I was very angry about it and I held on to that anger for a long time...and I do mean long...even though my father wasn't affected by it at all.
I remember many years later when I was still angry about it even though everyone involved, including my father, was gone that holding on to that anger only 'injured' me. And further, by holding on to any anger over someone else's action allowed that person to 'rent' negative space in my thoughts.
Every since that realization I have treated anger differently. First by acknowledging it including the emotional feelings but then letting it go. No, that's not always easy but if you remember that by holding on to it the other person wins it's much easier to let go.
Have an amazing day and take time to wonder...
Talk with you tomorrow...
