    Today was a rare gift - a day completely to myself. I was up early and the weather was so lovely that I decided to head down to the beach for a peaceful morning walk. Stopped at the farmer's market on the way home, picked up some fresh basil and gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, and made a quick caprese salad for lunch. It was such a nice way to start the day. I did the Sunday crossword, puttered in the garden, and even did a few chores. Dinner was simple too - leftover grilled chicken and tzatziki on a pita with more of those yummy tomatoes. I think this was just the kind of the I've been needing.

    I have an early class tomorrow, so I'm posting Monday goals now.

    Recap - Saturday, August 5

    @Snowflake1968 - Thanks for the welcome! Hopefully we can cheer each other on. When do you start your classes?

    @PackerFanInGB - So glad your test results were okay. Lifestyle changes can be hard, especially when you're hit with a bunch of them at the same time, but I think you have a good strategy.

    @more_freggies76 - I hope your FIL's move goes smoothly - for you as well as for him.

    JFT - Sun July 23

    I have had an exciting couple of days.
    Our youngest and her DH came last night for supper. They told us they are expecting! They have been going through IVF, the implant was done on their anniversary on July 6th so it’s all very new. Those of you that do, please pray for a healthy baby.

    Today, I met with a college and have been accepted! I am going to take Education Assistant. It is a one year course. I meet with the finance tomorrow at 11.

    I have always wanted to do something with children and I think this will be perfect.


    Just seeing this! How exciting for you! Both the new grandchild on the way and going back to school for something you will enjoy! I'm so happy for you, Tracey! :heart: :flowerforyou:

    🦋🐞 JFT: AUGUST 2023 🐞🦋
    🦋🪲🐞🪲🦋🪲🐞🪲🦋
    July focus:
    📍31 poems for August
    📍Adhere to Solid Habits

    I need to get back to my writing so am making a date with my 🖊️ and 📖 and am resolved to write a poem each day in August.
    📖📖📖📖📖📖📖
    📖
    Poems so far:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    8 August - Progeny
    Family celebrations
    fill me with delight.
    Happy smiling faces
    are such a wondrous sight.

    The centre of the table
    filled with simple wholesome fare.
    Everyone contributing
    to the food we share.

    Laughter and conversation,
    music to my ears.
    Memories assail me
    of all the passing years.

    I have had the privilege
    if helping them to thrive.
    Because of me, these people
    are vibrantly alive.

    The thought of this achievement
    puts a smile upon my face,
    to see what I have added
    to the human race.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    7 August - Democracy
    “God save the King!”
    the waiting populace shout
    as all across the land
    bells and hun salutes ring out.

    But a few are not delighted,
    vehemently the sing,
    waving yellow placards
    they profess “Not MY King!”

    Though they are few in number,
    they have a democratic right
    to express opinions
    in full and present sight.

    5 August - Vexation
    Summer is half over and
    despite my hopes and dreams
    there’s been too much precipitation
    Which is vexing to extremes.
    The weeds are growing rampant
    without their daily hoe.
    They’re choking out the lettuce
    that I would prefer to grow.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    4 August - Day’s End
    As the midnight hour approaches
    weary eyes are drooping fast.
    Put aside the daily cares.
    Let them slip into the past.
    Restful sleep rejuvenates.
    Each morning brings a bright new day
    filled with such exciting prospects
    that I can put into play.

    eschewing trauma
    honing synchronicity
    escaping into dreams

    sophisticated
    suave debonair dancing king

    2 August - The List
    Early each Wednesday morning
    we set out to replenish our stores.
    We’re there at the local shopping mall
    as soon as they open the doors.

    We carry a list of requirements
    to make sure we get what we need.
    It helps us to maximise effort
    and accomplish the task with great speed.

    1 August 2023 - Living NOW
    I have earned the right
    to do just what I choose.
    Ought to, must, and should
    are words I can, and do, refuse.

    Mindfully, I consider
    what serendipity brings my way,
    with body, mind, and spirit
    coming into play.

    Even mundane tasks
    can produce an awesome lead,
    if the spirit is willing,
    and the mind is freed.

    One never knows the minute
    when creativity will engage,
    and opportunity
    will stalk across the stage.

    I live with eyes wide open,
    alert for every main chance,
    to stimulate my mind,
    and change my circumstance.

    Happy and content
    to greet each new beginning,
    in the certain knowledge that
    waking up is winning.

    Can’t remember when I had such a busy week during summer break. 😝

    I’ve read the posts I’ve missed. Continued with my Solid Habits. How else would I be able to maintain? 😂 New habit for August. I had got a bit lax on the writing. I’ve put the poems in a solo let, so that you can skip over if it’s not your thing.

    🤗 🤗 🤗 if you need them.

    We are off out as it’s a beautiful day. We are visiting the King’s Coronation Garden on the other side of Belfast Lough. I’ll try to remember to take photos.

    Found out my tooth ache is actually and abscess that will require a root canal to fix. Not looking forward to that! Totally blew off work yesterday after going to the dentist. The weather was awful and I didn't feel like sloshing into the plant. It's about 1/3 mile from the parking lot to my office and the rain was horizontal. I figured I'd go home and work from there, but I just didn't. Instead I ran a few errands and hung out with the dogs.

    When Tim came home, he squeezed in a quick run, then we went out for Mexican and had a couple of drinks. This week is pretty low key, but starting Saturday things swing into high gear. Saturday, well actually Friday evening, we are going to Akron to watch Sierra run a race at 6:30 Saturday morning. It's about 2.5 hours away so we are going up the night before. We'll watch her run. Probably feed her and then give Gia (her not so little puppy) back to her now that she has been spayed and healed a bit. After that, Vanessa is going to drive on to Kent to meet one of her roommates, and Tim and I will head home and get ready for River Trails & Ales Festival. We are missing the river and trails portions this year, but have VIP passes for the Ales segment... Sunday - Tuesday will involve helping V pack for school & doing last minute shopping. Wednesday we mover her in and then will drive to South Carolina for Michele's service on Thursday. We are going to drive 6 hours of the trip Wed evening and the rest the morning of the service. We may spend another night, but not sure yet. Either way, I took Friday off. Saturday will be filled with party prep for Michele's in town Celebration of Life. Still waiting to get a head count before planning anything specific. I was going to take Monday off as well, but too many work commitments for that.

    All in all my healthy lifestyle is not happening. I keep saying "tomorrow" then "tomorrow" comes, and I find an excuse or life knocks me down a notch and bam it's a free for all... For today my goals are simple. Eat healthy during the day and have a normal dinner. That is certainly better than what I was doing. Baby steps, right?

    @clicketykeys - I like your new coworker’s saying. I hope you have a better Tuesday.

    Today was my first day of class, it Will definitely take some time to become used to this virtual learning. I don’t know how teachers and kids did it with no warning.

    Virtual learning is a skill for sure. You will get the hang of it. I hope your teacher is engaging. If not, it makes for long classes.

    @ryfit626 Welcome!

    @pridesabtch You sure do have a lot going on. I haven't gotten caught up yet, but it sounds like you lost a loved one. My condolences to you and your family. How is Gia doing? Is she doing well living with Sierra? Take care of yourself during these upcoming busy days!

    @Snowflake1968 How often do you have class? How long is the class? Did you quit your job, or are you attending school during the time your doctor wrote you off for? I'm excited for you!

    @clicketykeys I love the Monday saying! LOL! 🤣 (I'm not happy you had that kind of a Monday though. Hope Tuesday was better!)

    @littleblackskirt I think it should be a rule that we never have to log birthday cake! 🤣

    @PackerFanInGB Isn't it lovely to be able to have an impromptu day out?!

    JFT Tuesday 8th Aug

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green yes, just
    Foot exercises yes
    Back exercises just a few
    Dog walk 50 minutes
    Eat the orange! nope

    I didn't eat the orange, but I did have fruit at breakfast, and for the first time in ages I made myself cook veg for evening meal. I have been very lazy about that this summer.

    JFT Wednesday 9th Aug

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Foot exercises
    Back exercises
    Only one snack
    Dog walk?

    Weather forecast says we will have 2 completely dry days so I need to do as much outside painting as my foot will allow. I really don't want to, I hate the prep work! I'd like to leave it until later, but we have had a very wet summer and there's no guarantee it will improve.
    I also need to go into town to collect an order this week, not sure when to go as there's a cycling competition on which has closed some roads and may make parking difficult.
    Can't decide, I'll just get off here and go and do ...something, anything!

    JFT 8/9
    - log food and water
    - Work
    - Doctors appointment (new specialist, pretty anxious that she’s going to find yet another problem I have to deal with)
    - laundry (desperately need to get this done)
    - Dishes (also a desperate need)
    - Set aside one hour for writing-related tasks
    - look into career counseling services

    Still feeling overworked and under-appreciated but the total burnout I was feeling has calmed down a little. I’ll take it as a victory.

    I actually had someone who used to work at my company reach out to me last month from his new company with a job opportunity. It caught me completely off guard so he said he would call me back in a day or two. He never did, and next thing I know the coworker I was closest with has that job instead, leaving me feeling torn between jealous and betrayed.

    I think it might be time to cave in and ask for help with my own job search. I know my local library offers some stuff for free so I think I’ll start there. I’m really getting desperate to find something new, that maybe won’t destroy my mental health.

    Trying to take it one day at a time. To steal from something someone else posted, lately I’ve just been living but I want to feel alive.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Swordfighting choreography is fun but exhausting, especially on top of the start of the year at a new school. OOF.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    I had a such a wonderful day with my two older grandsons and their mom in the part of NY where I grew up. We started at the zoo, drove through my old neighborhood, had pizza and Italian ices at my favorite places, and took a long walk through the park, stopping to poke around in the brook. The kids loved it, and I had to promise to take them back soon for what the younger one called "the best pizza i ever ate" and more adventures. Then back to NJ where my husband met us at the beach for a concert. Such a perfect day - even the weather was fantastic!

    Today is my last day of summer classes, so I need to post my goals and get going. Hope you all have a really good day <3
