Taking Care

Happy September! Things have slowed down around here. Even the egg production is low from a molting hen. And to be honest, I love when things are slow! We have "slow days" here quite often. Days when I cook a slow meal, relax and unplug from the world. It's a more intentional way of living. I am working on keeping this a normal way of life for me (us). To be more organized, more planned, more loving and more patient! To be a better wife, I guess. Being mindful of my everyday. Listen better. Be a better friend. It's a constant struggle in this busy world, and I feel more at peace when things are slow. And I'm just trying to take care!

Sometimes, just a few simple changes can make a huge difference in your life. Like making your bed every morning-a tough one for me before. But, I'm doing it now, because, well, I'm 41 and it's just time. Sometimes, we just have to grow up, right? Plus, it's nice to get into a fresh, perfectly made bed each night. A sense of calm.

Yesterday- was a rainy, slow day. I made homemade vegetable & ham soup and my mama's hoe-cakes. Yummy!

Tonight- is a full Harvest Moon! The perfect time to meditate.

Tomorrow-is a new day! Let's set a new goal.
