Sheba, Hello! I watched some of the Something about Pam and will watch more of it on hulu. Crazy story and really makes you wonder about investigations and evidence. What did you think about it since you already saw all the news stories? So happy you saw a lovely butterfly.
Something has happened to my HSN site. DId your’s change? Ugh mine did and not for the better, Hopefully I can undo it,
Did a little yardwork today and was pulling dead branches off a plant and the whole planter and plant tipped over. It was so heavy I couldn’t move it back up. Luckily my son was home and came to the rescue. My sweet baby.

Peace Out Peeps! ✨✨

Good afternoon. It is partly cloudy today on the Gulf coast. Nice summer breeze. No humidity. Pollen count is high. Temp is in the mid 80s. Tomorrow the humidity returns and with a vengeance. Temps will climb to the 90s by Sunday. So, I better enjoy today.

We will be leaving shortly for Costco to gas up and to visit the Warehouse. Yes, I’m letting hubby drive more now. His coordination is a bit rough, but is improving. I may take the wheel on our way there for the simple reason I know which aisle to use in making our turns. After we make our turn off the ramp the next light is for Costco and it’s less than a block away. On the return, may stop at Aldi’s.

We are talking about a cruise for next year. Not sure what will be on the Agenda or which liner we will use. Definitely will get a balcony. Also looking at trips to Italy or maybe Iceland. This is just the talking stage. Not sure if it will be safe enough for us to travel. Time will tell.

Better get going. I do not want to miss a nice day. Tomorrow, the work continues. I will not be returning to the weeds before Monday or Tuesday in the morning. Will be contacting the plumber tomorrow. Need a new kitchen and bathroom faucet. Both have been purchased. Also there is a hole in one of our plastic pipes that will need replacing. Never a dull moment here.

You might consider purchasing a butterfly plant. It will entice others to make a visit. By the way, the Jalapeno bread is excellent. It’s HOT HOT HOT……YUM!!!!!!!

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Good Afternoon Sheba and happy Thursday to you.
It’s a sunny and extremely windy day here.
I hope your day is going well, you and Poppy are having great walks, and bike rides.
Butterflies are a good sign Spring is in the air. Soon your lovely garden will be blooming.

Letting Go Of The Little Stuff

When we stop worrying about unimportant matters, we can devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.

We experience numerous disappointments each and every day. Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control. In some cases, our response is powerful because we must invest ourselves and our resources to overcome genuine hardship. In others, our reactions are far more passionate than our circumstances likely warrant. The tension that permeates our bodies and minds when we are late for an event, interrupted at work, or sitting in traffic is not inappropriate, but it can interfere with our well-being in profound ways. When we stop worrying about relatively unimportant matters, we can be at peace and devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.

The small frustrations and irritations wield such power over us because they rob us of the illusion of control. But every problem is a potential teacher–a confusing situation is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, and difficult people provide us with opportunities to display compassion. There is a natural human tendency to invest copious amounts of emotional energy in minor dilemmas and frustrations in order to avoid confronting those more complex issues that are largely outside the realm of our control. The intensity of our response provides us with a temporary sense of personal power that helps us cope with challenges that might otherwise overwhelm us. But it is only when we let the little stuff go that we discover that the big stuff is not really so devastating after all.

In the stress of a singularly tense incident, differentiating between an inconsequential annoyance and a legitimate challenge can seem a monumental task. Ask yourself whether the emotions you are feeling will be as vivid in a year, a day, or even an hour. As focused as you are on this moment in time, your reward for letting go of your emotional investment may be the very happiness and harmony of being whose loss you are lamenting. Needless aggravation is seldom worth the cost it exacts. You cannot distance yourself from life’s inconsistencies, irritations, and upheavals, but you can relinquish your desire for perfect order and gain peace of mind in the process. AMEN! ✨✨
