This is my first attempt to be a blogger. I hope to type a few items that you will enjoy. |

I do not know where to begin with this description. The time period is from 0 to now. Please don't ask how long that is. I am sure with certain clues, you will be able to figure that out. I am writing this on my favorite old computer at home. I have a computer room that doubles as a retreat for a few of my pets when they want to be alone. I will cover mostly current thoughts. I hope to add some pictures as I have seen in a blog. I think that to do this sharing will take a lot of work, but the pictures I have seen are well worth it. Occasionally, I might review a flashback in mylife. I have times when I just roll that special even around in my mind until it has every possible facet examined. Usually this time is to try to figure out a "what if" scenario. If some of my items have no zest to it feel free to say so. I think that after I have some a few trial runs, then the real me will be out for all of the world to see. Luck you! As the saying goes, "Come with me and the best is yet to be." |
  Day 3788 of March 26, 2025 CRAFTS Having a creative craft is a lovely outlet for your imagination. It is a positive way to take one’s mind off of problems or stress. Each of the ways that was mentioned in Day 3788 are ones that can require preparation, planning and follow through. But the word that I feel is the best to describe my feelings, is creative. Creativity is one that can bring out talents that one thought they did not have. Creativity can carry over into other areas for children or students in school that give the creator happiness, or the “look what I can do!” feeling. For students who are weak in other areas, creating something for a contest is so rewarding. That look or smile on their face is worth their time. I do not paint well. Even the paint by numbers I do look amateurish. I do not sew or crochet well. But my embroidery is pretty good. When I was in college, I used spare time to embroidery gifts for friends who were getting married or having babies. The only problem is when I ran out of thread, I had to hurry to find a matching color before the event occurred. My last craft, is writing poetry. I guess if I had a prompt on my mind, the poem was easy to do. If I could not think of something, then I would read the newspaper to see a significant event that would work. Now I would write something nice or funny to friends for their birthday. Acronyms are good to do. I write for my own pleasure sometimes. And then there might be some phrase that I just might want to get out of my mind. I would love to be published. I know that I should read other works of poetry, but there is real life, with real work at home. So I just might be satisfied with fun, relaxation and letting my mind be happy. Crafts could be CREATIVE RELAXATION ARTS FOR THE SOUL. (Catchy ain’t it!) BYE!! |
| Day 3784 of March 21st It’s Jean Time It’s jean time. And yes I do have a problem with the fit. I am a petite person who likes some loose clothes. The petite department is picked over quite frequently. The basic stores are bad about that. Jeans do not have to be tight. And I enjoy something that I can walk around in and not show the extra pounds that have moved to places that make me look fat, heavy or chubby. We receive catalogs with women’s wear that one cannot try on and then go to the next size up if there is a problem. But I have a husband who has a good eye on clothes and tries to help me when I think he is needed. My decision is made on the facts; Do I like it? Is this a color that will match blouses or T-shirts? Are there any holes.? That is a big NO-NO for my husband and me. No holes in the legs front, or side. Will it last long? Is it in a fair price range? I am famous for keeping clothes for a long time and want to be seen as nicely dressed, not a fashion trend setter. But when the pants are comfortable and nice, the store or catalog has a sale. Believe me, I am not the toughest customer, but I try to please myself first. |
| photo: 2-27-25 Day 3765 March Agenda I beg your pardon to readers who are waiting for more blogs to read. Life has put me in a whirlwind of health issues that are slowly be resolved. So as the blog for 2-27 or #3765. I will share what my plans are. Health wise, I have a foot problem that causes pain with each right foot step. l love to walk. I also see it as a pleasant way to keep my weight down. I also consider it connected to the second issue, that is cardiac wise. My cardiologist wants me to walk at least 30 minutes a day. He also wants me to fill out a journal with categories to be entered. I think that this is more for ‘old folk’, but anyone can have a heart problem. I also learned to keep in shape and follow doctor’s orders from my father who was a GP doctor. His patients admitted that he was the best doctor in town. Who am I to argue with his patients! So walk and stay healthy is what I will do. Thus I have made March, National Be Good to Yourself and Stay Healthy month. To fill out the rest of the time, I would like to keep my mind healthy by reading, and doing some games such as Scrabble or Mahjong. Kids stuff you say? Not at all. The words from that the computer gives are new and useful. In Mahjong, the tiles are removed as chess pieces are from the chessboard. One must think ahead before a move. Since I am playing against a computer, the games are made harder each time. (My husband does not like games and does not want to play.) I have the body, mind but not the soul attended to. For that I have a couple of religious books that I read. One is for being more positive with my thoughts and the second is how each verse in a certain part is helpful for me. I must admit that I am going to review these two books after I finish them. They say, “Twice is nice!” The reason I did not choose gardening is that I sunburn easily. Organizing my home is done little by little during the week. So March may be filled with more projects than usual. If I have visitors, I’ll get rooms ready. If I need help, I have a wonderful daughter-in-law who can give me encouragement and ideas. She is a wonderful. But my work is my work and I am going to hold myself to it. Thanks for reading this. I hope that your March is a good one, with family, and friends which includes your fur babies. Just think, in April, you might have less to do than you had before. But don’t forget Easter is around the corner. Those eggs won’t dye themselves. Be good. Cheerio! |
