2022 Happy To Be Here

My day started with an attempt at mowing some tall wet grass. I got through some of it before it was time to get ready for other things. The first other thing was going to church for the first time in a really long time. The family is going to be trying a few different ones to see what fits. Anyhow, after the service we had church folk coming up and introducing themselves and welcoming us. It took less than five minutes for me to be peopled out. Keziah and I headed out to the trails behind the church. She found a shady spot to sit and I took a ten minute walk by myself. It was wonderful. Other happy things: Keziah, some friends, and I took a road trip to see the fabric resale store I wrote about a few days ago. On the way they talked about what their tarot card was today. I have the app on my phone too and looked at mine. I drew the Hermit, a pretty self explaining card. We had a good laugh reflecting at my not wanting to be with people earlier. On the drive we stopped ...

Thursdays are my days of exhaustion. This is not to say that there are no other days that I am tired, but Thursdays are rough as I switch from working nights to sleeping nights. Today I was good and had a nap. Other happy things from today: There is a lot of white clover around the property. I’m hoping it is keeping the bees happy too. Keziah and I took a Zoom workshop about fabric resales. I'm not sure where this will take us, but it is a start towards something. Outside tonight the crescent moon hung low and orange in the sky. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko.

Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. Other times the best thing is to go to the studio. I hadn't planned on going to the studio this afternoon. I really didn't have anything planned except getting to bed early. When Keziah asked if I wanted to go to the studio, I said yes.  I won't get to bed as early as I'd like. I did take a rough inventory of the favors that need to be worked on and was able to finish sewing two up.  Ideally I will get all the favors that are started, finished, before the event we are having in June. Other things I am happy for today: Keziah found some fabric and she is thinking about making me some garb; a twelfth century bliaut to be precise. I'm not sure how I feel about the color of the fabric. It seems to look okay next to my skin though. Our studio is an attic space and so it has angled ceilings. Occasionally we hit our heads. It also serves as an easy place to provide support when a person loses balance while putting their ...
