The struggles I started #today with led to some good.
I practiced equanimity combined with other skills again. I handled "The Interrupt" better. That's a label I really like for the moment between a feeling and a reaction that I picked up from @grueproof. Our video call today was another good that came of meeting my struggle more skillfully.
To use another coinage I really like, this time from @kamikat: today was another day where I was "good but not happy or excited".
We have the windows open because it's nice outside. I am sleepy and John is taking a nap, there's more beans left so I will likely eat some of that for dinner, and I'm doing my best to get the rest of today's work done. Shabbat can't come fast enough. #today
Happy Friday friends!
I spent the morning outside with a cup of tea enjoying the lovely 60°F (15°C) 🌞 weather. Dude missed his lap time 😾so I’ll have to make it up to him after my workout.
This morning we said goodbye to friends visiting from afar, it’s sad they live such a long distance away. We’ll miss their funny stories, lively spirits & just communicating alongside good people with similar mindsets.❤️
No plans so far #today, but that may change.
The weekend is in sight! 🙌🏼 #CatsOfMastodon
Still struggling a bit this morning but was able to use my "zen mind tricks" to manage my way through.
The sun has disappeared again but the rain hasn't returned yet. I got out for a run. I still don't enjoy the activity itself but love being in our nearby park. And definitely how finishing a decent run makes everything else feel a bit better.
I think I can get through the rest of #today in good order then very much will welcome the weekend.
This year we’ve grown just six beds of field or fava beans 🫘 Five beds of Vespa field beans and one bed of Sutton Dwarf broad beans (Fava) The Sutton have already flowered and set beans so we’ll have a crop soon 😛 The Vespa are getting taller and starting to show flowers. These produce tiny beans, many more per plant🪴 and they are so tasty 😋 #Allotment#Today#GrowYourOwn#Gardening
I had an easy day today! Got my grocery shopping and bill paying done. Watched insym play some games, and played Nier Automata (so far 9S's story is pretty in line with 2B's story). There are minor differences in respect to parts when 2B was disabled or fighting offscreen, 9S was acting as support.
Tomorrow, I'll get laundry and more gaming done as I will enjoy my days off!
I got off schedule yesterday. Discovered things I thought I had done hadn't been.
How can that happen?
I have a checklist and everything.
Turns out that the checklist, like having a plan, doesn't actually do the things.
After months of journaling every morning before anything else (including this post), I got caught up putting out a fire first thing and forgot to go back.
It was a gray, drizzly morning for my walk today, but it wasn't cold and I enjoyed walking in the rain. The rain is supposed to last all day, and I will stay indoors and dry for the rest of it.
In the last few days I've gotten most of the chores I needed to do done, and today I hope to spend all day writing. But first, I need some more coffee to get the brain cells working. Feel free to #joinIn and have a cup as well. #Today
Good Wednesday morning. The weather outside is miserable. My mood is sunny — my mom got the brace taken off her arm! She’ll have some OT to build up strength, but otherwise she’s good to go. This is huge for a woman who prizes her independence. Try going through a day without the use of one arm and you’ll see how limited your activities are.
After having every aspect of her life derailed since mid-January she can now move forward again. Onward and upward!
"Najlepszym lekarstwem na smutek jest się czegoś nauczyć. To jedyny niezawodny sposób. Możecie się zestarzeć a wasze członki zaczną drżeć, możecie leżeć bezsennie w nocy, nasłuchując szwankujących żył, możecie tęsknić za swoją jedyną miłością, patrzeć jak świat niszczą podli szaleńcy, widzieć swój honor zdeptany w ściekach barbarzyńskich umysłów. Wtedy zostaje wam tylko jedno - uczyć się. Dociekać, dlaczego świat się trzęsie i co w nim potrząsa." (T. H. White)
I tak robię 🤫 Uczę się ustawicznie. Również tutaj. Czytam uważnie Wasze posty. Staram się zrozumieć (szczególnie te, których nie rozumiem tj. informatyczne ) "co autor miał na myśli". Delektuję sie literackimi, uśmiecham na widok zabawnych, unikam nadmiaru shift postów. Fajnie, ze jesteście 😉
The removal of the tomatoes from the greenhouse benches gives us room to get the first planting of sweetcorn (Flagler) started. We put 5 seeds to a pot and 32 pots make a row. Once those are big enough and the weather warm enough they will get set out in to a row and another planting will be started. We try to have 2 weeks between plantings to extend the season. Last year we brought ~ 230 ears of corn to the table. #gardening #allotment #zone6b #NewEngland #BeetBear #Today #sweetcorn
#today#BeetBear and I got busy and planted up our cucumbers (Marketmore), zucchini (Dunja), yellow squash (Sunburst), and butternut squash (ButterBaby). After the tomatoes went out ,we had room to do this. Once these get large enough in a few weeks time, they will go out to grow on in the garden. There are 4 seed trays of each type, each tray has 6 seeds. The contents of each tray will be set out as is (minus the pot) in a hill of it's own. #gardening #allotment #zone6b #NewEngland
