Today was just one of those days. It wasn't bad, nothing happened, no one was rude, or angry. I was unhappy, and it was all on me. I just struggled through the day trying not to infect others with my mood. After work I was exhausted. ate food that wasn't really good for me, watched YouTube, and continued to be unhappy. I remembered I needed to pot up some tomato seedlings, and feed the chickens (they had food in the gravity feeder, but I didn't give them there fermented grains this morning) Out I went. I took care of the chickens first. Then I watered the veggies garden and I noticed lots of peas. I stood in the dusk, eating peas surrounded by peace and beauty. To some it may sound silly, but for me it was a little perfect moment. It wasn't hot, or cold, it was quite. I wasn't getting bit by mosquitoes ( that in itself is a miracle) just eating garden candy (peas) enjoying the beauty, finding joy in the moment. I found my balance.
To often especially nowadays it's easy to focus on the bad, and forget to enjoy the little moments. I just wanted to share my moment with people I know will understand.
You may think the permaculture forum was a strange place to post this, I often struggle with what forums to post in, but when I think of permaculture I think of finding balance, so that seem to be the perfect place.
I hope you you find joy in little moments.
