Centreing myself
Going to start bringing some peace and tranquility into my life. Much needed. Much desired. Not foolish enough to think it is going to happen over night, but I am willing to work in it.
...Meditation...
I actually used to do this on a regular basis. Never quite got it down to the whole visualization, but the 15-30 minute "ahh"...time itsself was beneficial. I need to find that peacefulness again. I think I just may be able to do it. I have the perfect place outside to do it. It just seems mystical. Nothing really special about the spot other than I seem to be having a certain draw to it. Whenever I walk by the window my eyes automatically go to it. Makes me happy to just space off looking at it for a few.
...Fruit, Veggies, and Herbs...
Going to be setting up some gardens. Not wanting anything major, but I have kinda went nuts seed shopping lol It just makes sense to me. The family loves fresh fruits and veggies, but they are so expensive to buy often. Same with the herbs. Derek loves to use them in everything, but it's hard to find a good mixed seasoning that doesn't seem to be loaded down with salt. Me personally, I am not a big salt fan. And if you want to get the good dried herbs, you are looking at a good $3-$5 a piece for them.
Drives me nuts how people take what nature has willingly and freely given to us and put a price tag on it. When in all actuality all's you are buying is their damned names!!! Grr!!! No more. It's ridiculous to say the least.
I plan on having enough to be able to share with my sisters (Stina and my Tina) and their families. There's absolutely no point in them having to buy the stuff, we will have plenty. Times are tough and every little bit can help, I know. I want to be able to share with them. Helping them be able to save some money, that none of us really seem to have much of these days.

AW, Love you too :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some to share but my herbs are not faring so well. All I have is cilantro, & not much at that. Next time I go with my own soil mix, peat moss, blech.
I'm so glad to hear that you're already finding peace. I know people who crave drama, I really don't understand them. Life is so hard most of the time, why would anyone want to make it harder?
Best of luck on the gardening, & the mediation. (I've been falling off the routine wagon a bit myself on that one) :) Mediation does wonders, it really does help you keep things prioritized.
I miss you bunches lady, if we ever have gas money again I will come see you.
Totally understand about the lack of gas $$$. We spent every last dime we had to move in here and are holding our breath Derek has enough gas to make it thru the week for work. Not going to complain tho. We love our new place. So to us it is worth it. The kids would disagree, but oh well.They are just going to have to get used to being out in the country again. Thousand and one things to go out and explore, but yeah, that would require them actually putting forth some effort. And you'd think they were vampires as opposed to sunlight as they are!!!
