Cross country running

I have been on an untenable schedule of duty for the past thrre months, but if I were to name 5 good things tonight, I would say.....

Time to rest (sleep) with nothing urgent to do, when I finally get up.

Bacon. I do love bacon for breakfast. Waffles and maple syrup, too..

Someone who cares. And, is loving and giving. Kind of like your own personal Jesus (savior).

Freshly made coffee, with lots of cream and a spoon full of sugar.

A smile. A 'hollywood'smile, to be exact. Smiles like thst make the world a bit more sparkly.

How about two more.

Cash. Gotta have some money stashed for when you wanna have a little fun

And, time. Love that song by Jim Croce. ♡♡♡.

Goodie Two Shoes
 

Going fishing in a beautiful, peaceful place and almost immediately, back to back catching three huge rainbow trout!! So excited just like a little kid with their first fish (it NEVER gets old, learned to fish at 4 years old and still love every moment I get...even when the fish thrashes around so much it broke my pole in half)....released one and kept two for the grill!! A 1.5 pounder and 2 pounder!

The best campground I've ever stayed at.

Finding new treasures.

My first Emerald being cut and delivered in a few weeks....and the most fun part is I found it as a raw stone in a huge bucket of other gems, gravel and sand.

All the smiles and healing moments I had this weekend...Spirit Dumps sure are a healthy way for me to process messy stuff.

Homemade fire cider, awesome for keeping colds and the flu away.

A summer shower with the sun still brightly shining.

Wet asphalt glistening under the haze of streetlights.

Learning a thing that you fear is nearly impossible for you to learn, once you stop listening to the thoughts and just do the thing.

Allowing yourself to just be.

-That smell that rises off the hot cement when the rain hits it
-Kids that belong to someone else that you can have a great time with then send back
-Reading with my dogs lounging on me
-Sugar free lemonade with a ton of ice
-A rainy day spent in my big chair with a pot of tea and a book

Finding my mailbox stuffed full with a package of the paracord I ordered the other day, and a new to me book of knots and ropework, first published in 1977.

Friends taking a much needed vacation.

Receiving a special bookmark with a picture & poem on one side and my Dad's obituary on the other side. Hard to believe it's been almost a month since he passed.

It has been rainy and cloudy here for the last couple of weeks, but the stars are shining in a clear...well mostly clear, sky tonight. ;)

Listening to Eckhart Tolle expound on the consciousness. Fascinating!
