12 September 2021 Gardens
Hello to you! How are you ? I hope you are doing well. I am doing well this morning. Yesterday was really nice we went to the botanical gardens in Boise. My favorite highlights were the rose garden and the giant koi pond. It was so nice to smell real roses ! We only took a couple pictures. It was nice to be in the moment. As we walked through the various gardens it felt like walking on a hike in Colorado.
11 September 2021 Memory
Hello to you! How are you today ? I’m doing alright. It’s hard to believe it’s Saturday already . The week went by pretty fast.
Today is a milestone of a horrible day in world history. Sometimes it seems like it was just a collective bad dream but we never woke up. There are still a few first responders suffering and as a world I think we still suffer from what happened that day. I know I was broken for a long time I couldn’t believe something like that could happen here!
Was it one or quite a few, not knowing what to say or what to do? When the walls of tower fell, it looked like a scene right out of hell. So many years have past since that fateful day, the roars have turned to whispers not much left to say.
9 September 2021 Time
Hello! How are you ? What’s going on in you where and when as you meet me here ? I hope your having a good day so far . I am having a productive morning so far. I mustered the energy to go get groceries. Whoop de doo right ?!! When your me getting groceries is a big deal !!
What’s on my mind this morning is time. Specifically time being a healer of deep emotional and spiritual wounds. It’s easy to try and heal using alcohol, drugs, shopping and any other kind of distraction but you aren’t really healing you are just procrastinating . After our dog Sam died it took me nearly 4 years to recover . With this divorce I am still healing a year later. I will say it’s getting better but there is still a ways to go….. I need more time.
I walked through time today, I didn’t stop I didn’t have anything to say. The wheels and gears spun and forced me compliant, upon its pace I was completely reliant. I had to stop and turn to face the grinding gears. The only way to relieve my pain may take years …….
8 September 2021 Clean Air
Hello to you ! How are you ? I’m sitting here having a cup of coffee trying to clear my mind to write a little bit!
She rose from slumber clumsy and full of fog, she dreaded the pushback she was going to get from the dog. Out into the haze she put her two feet and his four paws, he dug into the pavement in protest with his claws. The sun was red like all the days before, she let him drag her back to the door. “Clean air when will you return?!! She sighed “when will the forests cease to burn ?!!”
A little bit of poetry lol . I am trying to keep my spirits up! I am hoping we will eventually get some much needed rain and the fires around us will die down. This is my second summer here in Idaho and last year was like this too !
7 September 2021 Futile Tasks
Hello there! How are you as you meet me here this morning ? I hope you are well . I am doing ok. I’m writing a little bit earlier than I normally do. It gives me a purpose to write so who cares what time I do it right ?!
This morning I walked by my dirty car again and I got that feeling like I should try and wash it . I also got the feeling “what’s the point of washing it? It’s just going to get dirty right away!” My car is an outside car meaning I don’t have a garage. We are surrounded by the fires that have been going on this summer so the air is always filled with ash. This ash ends up on the car everyday. It feels like washing the car is one of those futile tasks like cleaning house! The thing is if you don’t clean it once in awhile it seems like you don’t care to take care of it.
I used to have cleaning as my OCD. If I got stressed or anxious I would start cleaning because it always needed to be done ! Living with dogs changed that for me and helped me see the futility of trying to keep a house perfectly clean all the time. So now I see life as a series of futile tasks! A bunch of things we do that almost as soon as you do them you have to do it again. There has to be more to life than that !
Lately I have been struggling to muster enough energy to do these futile tasks. Where did that energy to take care of things like I used to go ? Is it me getting older? Is it me living alone? Is it me turning into a lazy person? Is it apathy or depression? When you are depressed a lot of time you just don’t want to do anything. I will have to pray on this!
6 September 2021 Picnic
Hello to you ! How are you ? Today is a day off of work for some people – Labor Day. I always try to remember working people of history fought for workers rights and some paid with their lives ! https://www.history.com/.amp/topics/holidays/labor-day-1
Yesterday afternoon I went to the Grace Bible Church all church picnic with my Aunt and Uncle. There was a great turn out of people and lots of good food . They had pulled pork sandwiches and then parishioners brought side dishes . I felt kind of guilty being there as I haven’t been going to church services . I guess the bottom line is being able to decide if I’m a Christian or not ! I have been at this crossroads so many times in my life . We talked to a couple people my Aunt and Uncle knew in addition to the pastors. Otherwise it was people watching . A lot of the activities were for the children which there were a bunch of there ! Overall it was a good experience but I’m glad I was with my Aunt and Uncle. I would have been pretty lonely otherwise !
5 September 2021 Routines
Hello! How are you doing today? I hope your doing well . I have been really sleepy today. I don’t know if it’s because of the shot or what but I have been wanting to sleep a lot!
I have been trying to establish a daily routine of walking after my walk with Link . So far it’s going pretty well except when I am really tired. The other part of the routine is trying to blog and draw each day . Sometimes I am hard pressed to come up with anything and other days it just flows . These are activities that help fill my day with something meaningful.

4 September 2021 Arrival
Hello there ! How are you doing today ? I’m doing pretty good . I’m writing later today because I spent some time with my aunt and uncle this morning! We had blueberry pancakes ! They had gone to watch the balloons go up at 5 am and there was news that a new member of our family had arrived – Cove 8 lbs 1 oz! Baby girl !
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone was welcomed to this world with so much joy ?! If everyone who felt estranged from their family and friends found out everyone was so pleased that they had arrived. This is the promise of new life —- hope! It’s kind of like finding out that someone was praying for you and you didn’t know it . Being loved and cared about even if you don’t directly see it . We are never entirely alone . When we get here there are so many souls, many we don’t directly know, praising our arrival . Welcome Cove!
3 September 2021 Change
Hello to you ! How are you today ? I hope your doing well. I am waking up and debating what I should do with my day. As I sit here on the porch it’s quite chilly, only 52 degrees !
A topic that has been coming up a lot for myself personally and many I know is getting older. I’m 53 and already I can feel my body has changed . Just bending down to pick something up takes an effort like it never used to . At my age comes the discussions of colonoscopies and the importance of annual exams . I have been horrible about self care! A big reason is I don’t trust the system we have to use. For people like me with sketchy coverage by insurance you just don’t know what kind of care you are going to get. Healthcare and getting old kind of go hand in hand .
I wanted to talk about my drawing briefly . Metatrons cube keeps showing up because I perceive it as a symbol of divine plans. The wisp people represent the spirit world that is ever present within and all around us.
