Whoa! Yesterday was Tuesday!

It was not a particularly terrific day, but there are some terrific things going on so I’ll focus on the positive!

1.  I’m currently eating some really yummy Cracked Black Pepper Trisket crackers with garlic and herb Laughing Cow Cheese!  Washing this all down with a cold Miller High Life!  Ahhhh, relaxing!

2.  I harvested a LOT of peas from my garden today.  Look, empty vines!  I really was feeling pretty disorganized due to a wide array of glitches in my day so picking peas was my therapy.  It feels great to be out in the garden no matter what but harvesting is the bomb!

3.  I am gathering lots of books to read when I finish The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver.  Discovering how to use the super cool inter-library internet order up a book you want system is a big plus!

4.  Two weekends ago I got to shoot some pretty cool archery!  I totally enjoy outdoor activities, I love spending time with Marek and it’s always great to enjoy hanging out and chatting with others who enjoy the same things.

5.  This past weekend, I got to go on the annual 4H State Geology Field Trip.  This is a great tradition and another Mother/Son activity that we have now done for four years.  Good times with the boy and with other youth as well as with some absolutely fantastic women (mothers).  Good times!  

The trip last year was to Western Kansas  and was super awesome just for the sheer DIFFERENCE in where we were and what we were seeing and finding. 

 

 

 

 

This year we went to Southeast Kansas. Good trip but not as exciting….

We did find some awesome specimens and created some new adventure stories that I will blog later!  I do love my son!  I also love working with youth, watching them learn and develop questions to learn more is so AWESOME!  It’s also pretty rockin’ to spend time with good women friends!

6.  My garden is growing! I harvested Zucchini today as well! I have also harvested quite a few Raspberries and will catch up on the harvest tomorrow.

7.  I have been tired but am consciously working to get more sleep!

8.  I am relaxed and I am sitting here writing a blog and I will have the chance to read some other blogs before bed!  Yay!  Loving the opportunity to read blogs and learn, think, ponder, muse the thoughts and ideas of others.  I am feeling inspired to do a better job of being organized, satisfied, content.  Really, motivated to do a better job of everything!  Feeling confident, strong, mindful and motivated to improve!

9.  I think that focusing on the positive is good.  Working to see and appreciate the things that I have over the things that I want is important.  Knowing the difference between what I want and what I need is pretty handy.  It also seems to be a good way to stay positive and motivate myself to continue to move forward.  Soon, I will create an ultimate to do list – of jobs/tasks/life improvements as well as an ultimate to do list of wishes/dreams/hopes and goals.  I think gaining some direction might be handy!
