journeynow Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 1) A good walk 2) A good day's work 3) My basics are covered: food, shelter, clothing. And community. 4) My biggest fears have not occurred, and I've learned to let them go. Or at least let them be tiny concerns and mostly out of my mind. 5) Longer daylight! 6) Fox tracks on up my driveway this morning, and right by my window. Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi JN, we have a massive problem with foxes where I live. You will easily see them throughout the day, and when I drive home at night, I'll nearly always see severa. The dog goes crazy barking when he gets the scent of foxes. I hope you are also enjoying your dog-sitting. Link to comment

Nah, it doesn't mean you're getting old. It's just not something you've been doing everyday. How did your pup like it? Link to comment

journeynow Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 link removed ^This blogger writes "Often times we get so busy with chasing after the things we want, after the things that are somewhere out there, that we forget to enjoy the present moment, we forget to be happy." I would add that we are so busy reacting to people and events in our lives that we forget to enjoy the present moment, we forget to be happy. I'm noticeably happier, less grumpy and reactive, when i keep a gratitude journal. Posting here in this gratitude journal helps, even though I feel I'm repeatedly grateful for the same things. Today I am grateful for... 1) Living where I can step outside in my pj's first thing in the morning and hear loons calling as they fly overhead 2) Peacefulness 3) Blueberries and oatmeal 4) My dog visitors 5) Having income 6) A working washing machine in my basement. 7) Plans to meet friends later today 8 ) My teachers 9) Positive changes in my life 10) Healing Link to comment

Silverbirch Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Oh JN, I was watching something really amazing the other morning. A spider had spun a long singular thread of web from a tree outside my back door. The thread was perhaps three and a half feet long. On the end of the thread was a singular leaf, and the leaf was spinning in the wind. I was so surprised at the strength of the thread of web because the breeze was also blowing it backwards and forwards like a pendulum. I watched it for quite some time and it didn't break. Later on in the day, I saw it was gone. I told D about it, and he said it was likely a specific type of spider, I can't remember the name, but he said that the spider would have been curled up in the leaf - that is how they get about sometimes, and that the thread of their webs is very strong. I hadn't thought about how amazing spiders are and when I think about it, the architecture of their webs, and that they are built constantly is pretty darn amazing! Link to comment
