Acceptance

Week 5


Accepting life on life's terms,

 has given me peace of mind.

Acceptance helps me decide what it is I can do to make
a difference in my world.

 I let go of what I cannot change.


The temperature has cooled but still no rain.
I cannot change the drought.
I can only accept.

Brilliant Sleep


Week Four:
Brilliant Sleep

I believe brilliant sleep is the foundation for
happy, healthy living.



I made a commitment to my sleep time years ago.
Every now and again I check to make sure I am doing
everything I can do to maintain brilliant sleep.



I look forward to getting into bed at night
and I look forward to getting up the next morning.



Even when I travel I have a routine that helps me get a good night's rest.

When life gets hectic I find if I rest, just take a few five minute breaks from the stress during the day, I sleep better at night.

Taking care

I have been using Tamanu, a new to me product,
on my hands and nails. Each time I sit down at my desk I put a wee bit on.  I have hard working hands and this product has done wonders.


I just began reading "Healthy at 100."
I am interested in expanding my health span.


Daily meditation is my number one healthy way.

I have begun my list of 100 healthy ways!
I shall share a healthy way each Friday for the next 99 Fridays.
If you have a healthy way please share.
This will be fun.
 Together we will enjoy our walk to 100 years old and beyond.

Goodbye June

The heat does make one somewhat contrary!

I have packed up June and cleaned the house.
I am reading in my herbals.
Now is the time for me to be drying herbs for winter use.

Our July decorations are up.
I am looking forward to July.
I am working on our calendar of events.

The Summer Olympics are once again in London, England.

Opening ceremonies are on July 27th.
I am thinking of adding Fairy Houses to my July.
They would be fun to make.
I think gathering pieces for houses will be fun.

While I do my morning watering I often see sweet pieces
a fairy would like.

The heat is on.
Looks as if we will have at least another week of the high
temperatures. We need rain.

We have plans to make more sorbets in July.
I think I will do a foot soak this evening and read.
It doesn't cool off over night very much.
I am setting up cooling centers for the plants.
I brought a few in.
A few pots moved to the patios.
I have umbrellas for those in ground plants that need shade.
Goodbye June.
I shall remember your heat for many years to come.

Rainy morning

The Rain Dragons returned.
I awoke this morning to the sounds of thunder.
We had rain over night.

My herbs will thrive now with the rain and sun.
I am drinking fresh mint tea from the gardens.
It is delicious!
