…… grateful for new beginnings.. everyday is a fresh start.. I feel anxiety in the air.. so much that it’s hard to distinguish what’s mine and what’s not.. what’s relevant and what’s not.. and so much of it is from yesterday or tomorrow.. so I just try to breathe and remember what’s most important today, now.. to me, what’s important is that I show up with my best attitude and give my best effort.. and to remember everything else is outside of my control anyways.. :) peace

…… grateful for homemade vegan lasagna.. nom!

Those cats (kittens)! Do you (I mean at least one of you, inhabitants of WL) share photos of them on the 'social media'? It seems many people are attracted to cats ...

…… grateful for rise and shine.. there was a time when I didn’t appreciate the mornings of the day.. all that I wanted was more sleep.. I’d love to roll out of bed in the afternoon.. and then stay up til the sun was rising to fall asleep again.. call it lack of awareness of my direction or purpose.. it’s true—i had no idea what I wanted to be in life; aka how I want to show up in life.. I was lost when asked “what do you want to DO in life?”.. and the question that revealed my values and purpose was ,” how would I like to show up?”.. how would I like to be remembered?.. what are my strengths and how can I leverage them to serve others?.. .. my former mentor taught me that if I’m ever in a funk of sorts, go help or say something nice to someone.. the funk seemed to fade away quietly.. to show up (for me) means to be of service.. and if I’m in a funk, it’s an indicator to refocus on being of service..
…… I’m afraid I mostly only have cat pics today.. and it’s not even cat-urday yet.. yesterday we worked on wrapping up the red cabin to tour-readiness.. then cleaned up the solarium work space until the sawmill is producing boards.. then finished cataloging our current seed inventory.. today we go work on junk pole fence at the abbey..
