Cloud light dancing

Hello Peeps… I am moving slowly today… I did take my vitamins… yay! Had some sautéed cream cheese onions with a bit of roast beef cut up in it for lunch… yum… and a totally un-nutritious … but something I truly enjoy… pop ice for dessert….20 calories of sweet nothing… hehehehe…

The air today is calm and heavy with moisture… it seems we are to have more storms later today… in the meantime I am heading out to pick up Bobby Boy and Midgie as the first 2 to groom/pull coats today… depending on how my back holds up I may do Ted E Bear and Rosco P Coaltrain as well…

I did not take rescue remedy sleep when I went to bed last night and woke up in a panic attack… ugh.. could have done without that. Took some rescue remedy and went back to bed… when I woke up again my mind was calm… no static… no panic… just quiet… blessed quiet… of course I lost several hours I’d planned on using for dog grooming… but with a panic attack they would have been a loss anyway… this way my body got some more sleep… not a bad thing…

I have the front door open and I can hear the song of the cicadas … love that rasping song … the tomatoes are starting to ripen on my plants… I did not plant them until later … so am glad to be seeing the color on their fruits beginning to show… no cucumbers as of yet… here’s hoping for a few before frost…

Truth be told… I would love to curl up in a chair and read the afternoon away… I started reading The Game of Thrones… and have a couple of other books going as well… the other 2 are on my kindle… this one is a hardback book I checked out of the library…

Still thinking of the light dancing through the clouds last night… I’ve never seen it like that before… no pulses… no bright flashes… no jagged cuts across the dark… just subtle white light dancing through the clouds… you know I thought I was imagining it to start with… I came on into the house… and went back outside… to see if it was still going on… it was… but only in that one cloud bank… the others had the pulses… flashes… and jagged cuts of lightening that I’ve seen all my life… I stood and watched the calm light dance through that cloud bank for a while… standing there in awe… wondering just why it was so different…

Ok… heading out to pick up the hairballs and get the hair storm started….

May your day be filled with peace within and joy…

Celebrating a Victory!

I did it! I used the push mower for an hour on heavy grass and weeds on very uneven terrain… yeah baby! I am thinking I’ve gotten a good workout in for today. I used the small mower because most of this was close work around fences and junk… the DR mower is to big for me to handle safely on that close in work. Really do not want to destroy it’s shaft or blade because I ran it over some old equipment buried in the grass…. Ugh… so it’s the small one that is not self propelled. Between the kennels and the mowing I was outside working around 3 hours… lots more to do… but if I am planning on being able to function at all tomorrow… it’s time for me to stop on the majorly physical stuff today… need to put these legs up and cool down and rehydrate. Sure feels good when I look at all the mowing I’ve gotten done… tomorrow… the drive ways again… that will probably take all the time I am allocating for mowing tomorrow.

Then there is some work I want to do on the computer… prayers that this works out well… thanks…

My tomato plants have 4 or 5 green tomatoes on them… YaY! And lots of blooms… loving it… the rest of the garden… well that did not really happen… have a few cucumbers planted. Ah well… will try to keep the peonies alive this time around and soak my mums, asters, grapes and see if I can keep the aspen trees alive that I planted last fall….

Have the radio station set on a positive upbeat station… what a wonderful difference that makes…

What a difference a few hours can make. This morning I woke up in a fit of terror. Major anxiety… panic attack setting on in full force… talked to my cousin a bit then took my omega 3’s, saint johns wort, and rescue remedy… ate breakfast and headed out the door to do kennel rounds. Before I went out I set the radio station on a positive station… that helped as well… there still are no clear answers to how things are going to go from day to day… but my mindset is much better than it was this morning… and I actually accomplished something rather than crashing and being nonfunctional… this may not sound like much but it is so very very major….

Celebrating a Victory….

Life is a journey...  one moment one breath at a time...
