Month: September 2015

I don’t particularly have a trinket I carry with me for good luck. I used to bring my rosary received for my confirmation wherever I went, but it broke. I was quite upset, so I put it up to keep it safer. However, I do wear flowers in my hair near daily, so perhaps the flowers are my talismen.

I am late to the party for  Susannah Conway’s August Break 2015, but I intend to follow the prompts through September. I’ll tag them #SeptemberBreak2015 — because I’m not quite ready to return to my self-directed schedules just yet. Additionally, I’ll be writing my responses as my camera lens has decided to malfunction after 4.5+ years of use.

Our beautiful home. It produces nutritious food and fresh water for us. The dirt beneath our feet give us grounding. It looks like a sparkling blue and green gem from space. We search for other planets just like ours, but surely no other will ever take Earth’s place.

“Smooth” makes me think about the ideal texture of skin and our society’s quest for beautiful, soft, smooth skin. It makes me think of a person who has a certain way about them — someone who can “smooth talk,” or perhaps a “smooth operator.” The expression “smooth as a baby’s bottom” also comes to mind.

My notebook is my constant companion. I may not remember or build up the energy to write in it everyday, but I always have it with me for when I do write. I write out my concerns, which always seems to help relieve the stress and tension associated with them. I write down a list of 5 things I’m grateful for, 5 things I’ve accomplished, and 5 things that make me happy. I write a page and a half of whatever comes to mind. I always feel so much better after writing in my notebook — it’s like the act of writing it out makes everything seem so much brighter.

A squeeze of lemon in my water. The refreshing, juicy minneolas going for a scant 48 cents each. A county I intended to move to, or at least near, earlier this year — a move that fell through by June.

I almost decided to skip today — life has been happening, as it would be…

The outer covering that protects our soft inner core. Pigmentation varies. Texture varies. Elasticity varies. But all skin is good skin. Treat it with love, care, and respect. Treat others with love, care, and respect, despite the look and feel of their skin.

A fresh, cool breeze on a hot day. Warmth radiating from a vent during a cold winter’s night. Taking a break to get some fresh air. Getting outside and enjoying the day.

A cup of frozen chopped spinach sauted then scrambled with an egg. Sometimes a little cheese mixed in for some extra flavor. A dash of salt and a few sprinkles of black pepper. Add a piece of fruit, a cup of lemon water, and a mug of black coffee. I eat this on the regular.

A bowl of Chex or Kix with some vanilla almond milk. Not as much staying power as my regular, but a treat nonetheless.

Sausage, bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, french toast, biscuits with butter and jam. Special breakfast foods make me smile.
