I’ve been seeking alone time more lately. I just want to clear my head. Meditate. Concentrate.
I just want to appreciate my imperfect, blessed life. Find some discipline in there somewhere. And a bit of direction while I’m at it would be golden.
So I sit. And I watch the rain.
I admire once nearly dead houseplants.
And find the beauty in left behind pool toys.
I look past abandoned bathing suits.
Sit on a ledge much too small for my much too large butt.
Ignore the puppy scratched door.
And eat a rully healthy dinner. On rully sustainable dishware.
And I just sit. And listen. And I try not to think about anything.
Try to just … absorb.
Of course, someone comes out to ask for Blues Clues, and a drink, and some food, and to ask if they can play on the computer, and to complain about their brother.
But that’s okay, I guess.
At least there’s still the rain.

Loving this rain, too! It just puts a mellow vibe out there. It’s time to take a break from all the sunshiny actions summer inevitably brings about and just stay indoors and chill!
My butt is having the same problem as yours. If you figure out a way to remedy the situation that doesn’t involve exercise…please advise ;)

Ugh, and it’s so nice to get this smoke out of the air.
And sorry, no help on the butt front. :)
Hmmm… the perfect description of what motherhood means in a few words and pictures. Love it.

Aww, thanks.
Ahhhh, rain. I am jealous. It has been 3-4 weeks and all we’ve had was one ten minute shower.
I miss chatting with you. To quote the Grateful Dead, “I feel like a stranger”. Hope you’re doing well!

I think online social media friendships grow distant in the summer, or something. This winter we’ll probably all be powwowing again. :) <3
You can have our rain. For real!

I live in the desert…what is this “rain” you speak of? ;)
The desert is beautiful. The swamp drying up like a mummy…not so beautiful. Yay for rain! :)
