Club Sheba ✨😎

@shoelady60

I am hoping for safe travels for your mom and sis. I’ve been thinking about them the entire day.
Nothing like warm weather and plenty of sunshine to replenish the soul.

The Gulf Coast had sun early morning and then the clouds rolled in and that is the way it’s been all day. I have a cousin who is on the East Coast and mentioned that the temps were good and the sun was out. She was sitting on the beach when she posted. Take care and enjoy the weekend.

It has been cloudy and damp most of the day. We had sunshine earlier. We also had a few sprinkles. Temp has to be in the mid 50s and will remain that way through the night. No A/C needed and that is a good thing.

Sinus seems to be better, though tomorrow, when the sun is out, should tell the story.

Last night’s Trivia was interesting. And then reading an extra sentence when you answer the Trivia question correctly was something that made me stop and think. I wonder how many people actually saw it. Re reading the sentence it looks like a daily thing and I assume we post the word into the area for Trivia. I assume it will be up and running 7 days per week. The reasoning behind this, I guess, is to bring more customers to their TV set so more people will end up shopping and making purchases. I have no idea how this will play out. Suffice to say only time will tell.

Hubby is back in bed and I finished another section. I got rid of the clutter on the bar and now it’s time to return the items to their rightful place. I do need to do more rearranging on the countertops in the kitchen. Several months ago I purchased Curtis Stone’s toaster/convection oven. I do like it, however, it is big and bulky. I may end up relocating it to the Cape House. I just tried it on the bar area, but it is too big and looks out of place. I’m trying to make room for the ice maker. Oh well, I will keep trying.

Have a great walk this evening. Enjoy the moon and stay safe.

Good Afternoon Sheba, today’s weather report, cloudy in the mid-sixties no air and no heat needed.
The opening of the Olympicss just wasn’t the same as previously games. Still those athletes that trained for years have the opportunity to compete.
Trivia last night had lots of participation, I saw you gave some of the answers too.
I am grateful to all the answers since I was mainly watching the Olympics, baking snacks, drinking some wine which I did enjoy yesterday.
I wish I lived a more exciting life to write about but, I don’t.
I have some Brazilian-Italian style sausage in the oven. And I am making onions and tomatoes with lots of garlic and Oregano to go with it.
I hope one day this Pandemic comes to a complete stop, and we all (you, me and Oodie) can meet and enjoy a meal together.
Stay warm, stay safe Sheba.

Importance Of Looking Deeper

When we start to feel bored or blue, it is often a sign of needing to dig deep and take time for some much needed introspection.

It’s easy to get caught up in examining our actions instead of really deeply examining ourselves. This can be deceiving because our actions may be very spiritual — we meditate, are nice to people, take care of ourselves and others — and yet, we may not be penetrating to the issues below the surface. It’s as if we’ve washed and shined the surface of our car without taking the time to check under the hood. We may appear to be in great shape, but if we aren’t engaging in the deep, inner work of self-examination, the chances are good that we are not deeply aware of the real substance of our lives.

We live in a very appearance-oriented, externally focused world, so it makes sense that we place a lot of value on how our lives look, sometimes to the detriment of noticing how our lives really feel. When we get too caught up in what we are doing and lose track of our core, we sometimes begin to feel dissociated, as if we are not fully awake, alive, and grounded. This is a sure sign that it’s time to engage in the hard work of going deep within to rediscover the foundation of our lives. Without the substance that comes from looking at ourselves deeply, and working through the difficult things we find, our spiritual lives can start to feel hollow or shallow, as if there’s nothing at the center holding it all together.

Of course, the peace that comes with meditation and spiritual practice is an essential part of the whole picture of our development, but it serves us best in conjunction with the less settling, more chaotic work of digging around below the surface to see what needs to be healed, owned, or released. Then our actions are more than just an attempt to keep everything in control, looking pretty and nice. Fueled by the energy of a life in transformation, they become powerful expressions of courage and faith, further inspiring our own inner work and that of those around us. AMEN! ✨✨
