Good Day Friday.

  • Good day Friday. I don't understand people being bored in their own homes. There is so much you can do that you have maybe never done. Evaluate you -- really think about who and what you are. Watch the sun rise or set, or both. Watch the colors of the sky, the shadows on your environment change; sketch, draw, color it; you only need pencil and paper to sketch. I wonder how it looks from far up a skyscraper, or on flat-lands. Start a garden, even if only a window-sill herb garden. Fresh basil is really versatile. 

     

    Take up bird watching; identify which, note their behavior. Listen to music, dance like no one is watching. Hand write "thinking of you" notes, support the postal service. Visit Project Gutenburg, you're sure to find something interesting.  I'm reading The Golden Bough, from 1922 (Study in Magic and Religion). Also am slowly working through surahs with commentary. Enjoy your solitude, your family, whatever you have going on. Have ice cream for breakfast or oatmeal for dinner/supper. There's always clean out the closets, arrange the book shelves, wipe down the wood trim, become an innovative cook with the 2year old bag of dehydrated veggies from the waaay-back of the cabinet... If you have outdoor space, walk in the woods, or the fields/plains, or around the block; what is budding, blossoming, blooming? Notice the changes from last week. What animal life do you see?

     

    Enjoy being you, stretch, be glad you're alive. Don't obsess over the hourly news. Learn something new every day. NASA's Kepler Telescope has discovered an earth-like exo-planet (kinda, sorta maybe, I haven't actually read the article yet, just the headline LOL. Kepler photographed something, reporters don't always get the details exactly right -- remember the million+ year old "DNA" [instead of "genetic material", specifically proteins]).

     

    Make your own face mask (no sewing). Think for yourself. Ask questions. And, as I sometimes say, Blessed Be.
