Minding my own business




Hi

I am writing this quick post on a very hot afternoon and I am just getting ready to lie down for a nap that I always want to take but never do. The noise of the fans should help. A little rest so that I can, maybe, take the dogs out for a walk later when it's cooler. 

I am so happy that I rarely ever go on facebook anymore. I used to be addicted to it for years! Sober now. It's Depressing Central and I am learning fast to protect myself from toxic mental sludge. Yes, the world is full of problems but my storing them into my body, mind, and spirit is only going to cause an additional problem, my personal grievance. I can't control anything so I don't want to know. 

Life is very simple right now in the peak of summer. Cold showers with the garden hose, keeping deer out of the yard, failing at that, and teaching the dogs to stop being so afraid of water by forcing them to "get wet" and "take a shower". They don't know these words yet like my other pack did. 

I spent my days in silence. I mostly stay on youtube now. Learning. Today I looked at how to build a canopy that I need over my front door. I still don't see myself capable of doing it but I will. I will work on it. It's not that hard. Mine can be simpler. If I had access to thick bamboo, I'd use that and build a detached structure. My roses would like to climb on that. I'm getting lots of ideas. This is what I want. I want my mind to be occupied with creativity again. Full time. Nothing else. No one else. Just me, my dogs, my cats, my home. Minding my own business. Invisible. Content. At peace.
