#thursday
Hello friends, I hope you all are well. ๐๐ I'm ok, work has been a real shit show this week so I haven't been around as much as I'd like. I'm trying to check in throughout the day so I'm not a complete absentee friend...
Have a good rest of the night or start to your day. ๐๐ The turtle is fed so I'm rewarding myself with a cone outside with the dogs. No kid tonight so I pick the TV show afterwards!

This afternoon, I gave this old, neglected, wooden bench, a bit of a tidy up....Needed a bit of repair to one of the armrests, as it had split, sanded it all down, & stained with a water based, mid oak stain/satin varnish... Should have taken a before photo...but I forgot ๐ ...
Happy Thursday

Good #Thursday morning, Mastodonians, and happy June! It feels good to be back home and to move around freely and to know where things are. I hate living out of a suitcase, because my stuff ends up so messy and jumbled up, despite my best efforts to pack neatly. But now everything is in its place, and we don't have to go anywhere except to take Sweetie to the groomer later. Hope you all have a great day.
'He that binds to himself a joy
does the winged life destroy,
but he who kisses the joy as it flies
lives in eternity's sun rise'

Greetings #Thursday! You're one of my favorite days of the week because you bring hope that tomorrow is #Friday, and you always deliver on that promise. If you have plans for this #weekend, you're one step closer, friend. Hang in there! Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for today is my favorite hillside.

I wrote something about the strength and stability of trees, and what we can learn from that, in this week's newsletter, and then stumbled across this quote as I was reviewing some notes tonight.

Was at the garden centre today, buying plants. My happy place. They didn't have the selection I would have liked, but I got enough to fill the tubs and planters. That's all that matters. I hope you had an enjoyable day too.
Be safe, be happy, but most of all be kind.
Good morning! Get in, ghouls. We're going for a ride. I'll drive.

#Thursday
Hello and welcome to #Thursday. This is the last full day of school for this area so I'm going to make the most of having no children at home for the entire day. Try to remember that it's important to take care of yourself sometimes too. I'm a giver by nature and that has led to poor mental health sometimes. So, take a break! Get outside (weather permitting) and let your feet touch the Earth. You'll be surprised how much it helps. Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for today is a view down #Paris #France from the top of the Arc de Triomphe
Some say trees have souls. But, does anything? Really? Is there room for such belief? In a world of atoms and particles, systems and processes. In the materiality of cosmic dust and transcendent stars. Perhaps the soul, if there is such a thing, is an emergent property. A fractal pattern of interactions. A complex symmetry...

Welcome to #wednesday, where we all pray that tomorrow is #Friday, but it's actually only going to be #thursday. Remember, dear friends, that life is full of miracles. Just because it may not be the day you want, that doesn't mean there isn't an opportunity to make a joyful one. Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for today is me hanging out with William Shakespeare at a London bus stop.

As our mind and spirit
change shape,
our style follows.
Style is the garment
that we shed
on our way
to nakednessโฆ
@bookstodon #books #WritingCommunity #poetry #life #thursday #ThrowbackThursday #spirituality
The old shed has seen better days.
A story is an escape. Not an escape from life, but an escape from what keeps us from living it. Not an evasion, but a better way through.
A story is a way to tunnel beneath the bars. To dig away the dirt. Bit by bit by bit. It is patience, resistance, resilience, resolve. A chisel. A pick. A hammer. Split stone and debris. A slow and steady crawl, until finally we're free...

#MtMachuPicchu, #MachuPicchu, #Peru
I had the good fortune to have Machu Picchu mostly to myself after closing time. This can be a deeply spiritual place once the scope and location are considered in a moment of silence. Not a place for a selfie, but a place for self awareness.

For Sufi mystics, the rose represents the sacred and inaccessible centre of Godโit is the point of essential union between man and the Divine.
For this reason, in Turkish poetry, the nightingale is described as being โลeydรขโ (mad) or โzรขrโ (weeping and wailing) over his Beloved.

Look, yes, it's a weekday morning. But it's #Thursday, and Thursday is basically the Friday of Friday, and Friday is the start of the weekend, so the weekend starts now. FACT.
