Hello Sheba, looks like its soup time in your neck of the woods. Yesterday I made hubby a dish with red Lentils and vegetables that can pass for soup. Depending on how much you want to blend the ingredients I used a hand blender. And I made him cheese bread with his sesame flour and Almond flour. I made me some cheese crackers, wow they are delicious and easy. I only baked half of the recipe and refrigerated the rest. And baked off the rest today, ate them with my soup.
Today I made me a soup recipe I found on YouTube, actually all the above dishes I found on YouTube. https://youtu.be/IQdKsSY50bU , this is the soup I made

Sheba, let me know if you prefer not to get recipes.
Take care Sheba.

I remember seeing some posts from Pitman in the QVC Forums. It was rather recent, like maybe, a month or two ago. I also remember that he enjoys QVC more than HSN. Also, he was starting to exercise and walk before dinner that seemed to coincide with Trivia. Now that Trivia hasn’t worked in a while, guess he is on to better things. I also miss Luvsweets and wonder how things are going with her son. I’ll try to do a shout out tomorrow.

Ok, we had the contractor this afternoon. The damage was not water but with the sub-flooring that was not installed properly. There was a contractor that came about a month and a half ago and swore it was water damage from a slow leak. Well, there is no leak and thank g-d I didn’t hire him. I had tons of questions when another person showed up that worked with the contractor and used a gizmo to detect water. I could have sworn that that thing showed orange and yellow and no blues. Guess I watch too much HGTV. Anyway, we hired the person who came today. It will be a two day job and if our flooring does not come in at the time he is here he will return to install at no extra charge. He will be good to work with. His company has an A+ rating with BBB and from other homeowners. Very happy with the results.

Now I am completely exhausted and will call it a night before 3am or 6 am. Tomorrow is Trivia and also hubby has his first physical therapy with a new group in the afternoon. I also heard from the Ear, Nose and Throat and have an appointment Monday morning. I just completed the medical form and it took over two hours. Very extensive. See you tomorrow in Trivia. Take care and please stay safe.

Welcome to OZ ✨✨

Peace Out Peeps! Have a safe evening. ✨✨

Sheba, the vest just makes me smile. I think the dogs feels more confident as well since they can smell the coyotes before a human can see them. If your really concerned they say wasp spray is good to carry. I do not carry it, just the pepper spray and my backpack. Back in the day, I used to take my son for early evening and night walks but I didn’t know anything about the coyotes and we never saw any. Now we would certainly see them.
Stay safe and I am trying to watch today but have a feeling I might be making a dinner. If I miss it will take a look to see what was presented. Still waiting patiently for my last purchase so not looking to buy anything else for now.
Off to my hills. Take care and now I know Poppy is safe!

Hi to you in Oz. Decided to do my shopping today like last week so I don’t have all those bags tomorrow. Not quite sure where mom and I are going but I told her to think about it today.

Sis hasn’t left yet for the cruise. She will leave this Sunday for a week. She has to get a covid test tomorrow to be able to get on the boat. Just hope all goes well and no one gets sick because she is due to come back here two days after the cruise.

You don’t have to tell me anything about trees – don’t want to brag but I know it all. Many times I thought I would be killed in my kitchen by a tree falling on the house. Next house – one bush!

Love Poppy’s new outfit. Better safe than sorry.

Being Aware is the First Step

There is freedom that comes with awareness, because with it comes the opportunity to make a choice.

Life is a journey comprised of many steps on our personal path that takes us down a winding road of constant evolution. And each day, we are provided with a myriad of opportunities that can allow us to transform into our next best selves. One moment we are presented with an opportunity to react differently when yet another someone in our life rubs us the wrong way; on another day we may find ourselves wanting to walk away from a particular circumstance but are not sure if we can. Eventually, we may find ourselves stuck in a rut that we can never seem to get out of. We may even make the same choices over and over again because we don’t know how to choose otherwise. Rather than moving us forward, our personal paths may take us in a seemingly never-ending circle where our actions and choices lead us nowhere but to where we’ve already been. It is during these moments that awareness can be the first step to change.

Awareness is when we are able to realize what we are doing. We observe ourselves, noticing our reactions, actions, and choices as if we were a detached viewer. Awareness is the first step to change because we can’t make a change unless we are aware that one needs to be made in the first place. We can then begin understanding why we are doing what we are doing. Afterward, it becomes difficult not to change because we are no longer asleep to the truth behind our behaviors. We also begin to realize that, just as much as we are the root source behind the causes for our behaviors, we are also the originator for any changes that we want to happen.

There is a freedom that comes with awareness. Rather than thinking that we are stuck in a repetitive cycle where there is no escape, we begin to see that we very much play a hand in creating our lives. Whether we are aware of them or not, our behaviors and choices are always ours to make. Our past and our present no longer have to dictate our future when we choose to be aware. We are then free to move beyond our old limits, make new choices, and take new actions. With awareness, our paths can’t help but wind us forward in our lives while paving the way for new experiences and new ways of being. It is through awareness that we can continue to consciously evolve. Amen! ✨✨
