I believe in you.

3 Positives:
Apricots are done for the season — 8.5 pints of nectar now ready to go on the shelf
Design cut and assembled. Turned out kind of cute.
Fun conversation with a long distance friend.

My Journey Notes:
Major migraine yesterday afternoon as a storm blew in – and then it was back on the insomnia cycle. Not my favorite thing. Did get some matting updated for an upcoming project and spent some time reading during those awake hours. Down side is being tired at starting the day after 3 hours of sleep. Hopefully tonight will be better.

Be enough

3 Positives:
Nearly finished up canning a bushel of apricots – just the nectar to bottle and process today
Lovely time sitting on the deck last evening
A stir fried zucchini and summer squash dished up at dinner last night — a true taste of summer!

My Journey Notes:
Making a note on my electronic calendar for Feb of next year — make appointment to renew IDs. One place takes nearly 3 months to get an appointment currently and the other requires 3 weeks and neither can have expired before your appointment or you have to bring in the “bundle of paperwork” to prove who you are. It’s crazy! At least I do have all the paperwork gathered in a folder and it’s on my desk so it won’t get lost! And as of today, the state legislature hasn’t banned mail in voting which our county does — so we’ll see how that goes next year for mid-terms.

Bring your dreams to life

Don’t give up on a good dream!

3 Positives:
Service feels good
Pleasant conversations
Test cut of a new project was a success after altering the unfolding process.

My Journey Notes:
Old apps, new adventures! While I didn’t remember everything, grateful for a friend who helped me when I was struggling. Tried using the app again and SUCCESS! Will be opening the apps again today to add a few details to the structure. We’ll see if I can have success again today! My desire to complete some projects on my design list is back again.

kindness. beauty. truth.

3 Positives:
Quiet moments
Cooler temps for the day
Creative time was a success

My Journey Notes:
Tylenol seems to be my best friend at the moment. Fingers crossed for a better day today.
Still making lots of lists and checking things off. Yesterday’s list was completely crossed off. YIPPEE! Today’s list is a short one, but it may not get done as I have to be out for a while. We’ll see how things roll out.

share your light

3 Positives:
Shared time with a friend in a video chat
Played with an old app for a while – made a little progress on a project, but not enough to move forward.
Even a “disappointed in the outcome” design has some good still in it. A few tweaks and turned upside down, it’ll be a very pretty vase for some paper flowers. 🙂

My Journey Notes:
Sometimes the necessity of rereading the “manual” is worth it. Stuff that isn’t in long term memory fades pretty fast at times… a read refreshes things a bit — and may even “light” the next step for you without another review beyond what you’ve already looked at.
