Thank you to Leeanne of Not Afraid of Color for reminding me to notice things I like.
I like lining the back porch with all the houseplants during summer. They like it too. |
I like cooking with fresh herbs. I like having them so convenient. |
I like tomato-bacon-tomato sandwiches. |
I like having forest friends. If they're smart enough to open the hens food bin and help themselves, they'll get a surprise they probably won't. |
knowing that autumn is coming. How? The squirrels sit in the big hickory tree tossing down the nut hulls. You can hear them hit the deck like rain, and you cannot walk on the deck without shoes. |
I like seeing the couple of leaves that hint to what's coming! |
I like seeing deer nearly every day. |
I like these two guys who keep the yard around the garden tidy. I also like that some of the plants are finished for the year. Garden season isn't over, but it's slowing down. |
I like the colors of the harvests. |
I like my outdoor office space. |
LeeAnne's get-to-know-you writing topics this month:
What calming exercises have you successfully used in the past to maintain a level mood?
Hmmm... This is a trickier one this month! Pretty personal... Of course it depends on the situation. ... Let's see... a level mood...
I play a game of Double Free Cell on the computer.
I write in my personal journal.
I sing "Peace Like a River."
If you've seen the play "Hamilton," you'll know that Aaron Burr is pretty much the bad guy. He does, after all, shoot Alexander Hamilton and kill him. But, I did like his advice in the very beginning. He said, "Smile more. Talk Less."
