Since I did not have garden clothes on
headed for local small town.
Stopped at local paper office to renew subscription
and bought 3 bars of handmade soap that was locally made.
Picked up quiche and desert to take home.
Stopped in local office to see someone
past problems and I wanted to smile
and see if I could ever be of help -
they were too busy to see me.
All the way home I said metta
and thought I will not take this personally...

more errands
Market
Visitied local small nursery
to see what was marked down.
Bought a basket of thyme for
herb garden.
I hear gun shots in the distance
do not know what hunting season is open
I think it is Dove
I do not like it
it makes me sad.
Looking forward to solitude
once again.
Do not like the busyness
of the last 5 days....
I must remember
to slow down - and
Don't take anything personally
Don't make assumptions
Always do your best
Be Impeccable with your word

I sometimes find a better path when I do not expect anything in particular. Your day step by step is full of ordinary wonder.
To me you keep a good schedule, you keep on, and I love your example.
((hugs)) dear One Woman, it is true, there is only one you and mores the shame.
My heart is still heavy.
Thank you for your kind words...
Thank you for the 4 agreements. I really needed to read that.
Wise words to take to heart when the world seems too much with us. You have gotten lots of bad news close together...hope the rest of the year goes more lightly.
Tabor, thank you.
This morning a funeral visitaton
the 5th in just a little over a month.
This says a lot to me....
Way too busy!
Why would anyone want to kill a Dove?
Ordinary days...I long for familiar right now. Reading your list helped me to feel grounded. Thank you.
Judy and LauraX, thank you for visiting. You are part of my lifeline...
Oh, to live by "The Four Agreements" :):
I love you...hang in there! Your post makes me tired just reading it...just stay home today and take it easy. We'll eat breakfast together on Monday.
Marcia
and My Jamie :)
The last paragraph carries good intentions. But you are human, feeling what you feel, and you try again.
I appreciated your day in the life of Ernestine poem. I do hope you get to slow down.
I was tired just reading your list and marvel at how much you pack into one day. All the feelings on top of all the activity can be exhausting.
May moments of solitude soon return ~
May you feel peaceful and at ease ~
Kaveri, thank you
you always send me healing words.
Sharon, yes - I need to pace myself.
Peace and solitude have returned
but took a few days :)
