5 Things I'm Thinking Today

Hmmm. Tornadic... you need some inspirational reading.

P.S. nasturtiums - make a great salad.

@Bearlinda - from Dune, Frank Herbert: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

What/can you see "fear" of being only "I/you/yourselves"? That would be a good solid place to assess about why I think you are "afraid" to do things you think are creative and self nurturing.

found a lump on one kitty

My mastiff had lumps and I took her to the vet, $300 later found out it was just a blocked oil gland and I used warm compresses on her. Both my mastiffs get them now and they go away with the compresses. Have you tried that?

Yes, they do! I love 'em.

You can also pickle the seed pods to make what they refer to as "Poor Man's Capers". Haven't tried it yet, but sounds tasty.

I have a Pema Chodron audio book lined up right after I jam out to some tunes and stretch some more.

That should give the mood a bit of an attitude adjustment even if it doesn't change the nature of the initial thoughts.

May the day become as groovy as it can get, in spite of my pain driven expressiveness.

Dammit! Now I have an infected blocked oil gland in my right eyelid, so I will have to push back surgery. I have one in the other eyelid but it's not infected. I haven't been doing the compresses on me, just the dogs.

I was really looking forward to seeing again.

My back hurts so badly that last night I woke myself up screaming in pain around 6 times. No nightmares though, the medicine is working. Yay!

I didn't take the chickens after all, I would have too many for the amount of work I can do. My coops are clean and fresh smelling, and my compost piles are turned regularly but it hurts. I have 17 chickens on 1/4 acre lot. I did find someone to take them though.

My son got his permit yesterday, and drove for the first time. We almost got wiped out by a car taking a turn too fast and swerving into our lane.

Thanks @The Albatross
I cannot understand what you are asking here?

 

[The Albatross]

What are you afraid of and why are you afraid of initiating creative self fulfilling pursuits?

 

[Teasel]

I am afraid they won't be good enough.

 

[The Albatross]

So you're judging outcomes before you even bother to try? Doing is it's own reward ya know.
