IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE!

I did not make any resolutions this year. I decided it’s just not worth it since I never keep them anyway. Instead, I am trying to push myself for small but meaningful changes. Colorado dumped plastic bags last year, which forced the people of the state to purchase alternatives. I chose to create alternatives. I went about it all wrong. I made hundreds of my H.A.S.B....

I am 60+ years young, and over my decades, I have read a ton of self-help books. I even took classes on several subjects, including this. (Oh, by the way, if you love to read, do NOT take a speed-reading class!) I just finished a book (barely) about P.M.A. (Positive Mental Attitude). What a piece of crap! The guy writing it obviously NEVER had any drama/trauma issues in his life other than an early divorce (oh boo hoo!) I can tell you from personal experience, there are many, MANY worse real-life issues....

Our poor critters are so lost. The time change happened Sunday overnight, and we love it – critters hate it. They don’t get it and can’t understand why we are not feeding them at the same time as the day before. Even after the change, going into the middle of the week, they are still very upset (or, rather, angry)....

This year has been crazy as far as finding “time” to get things done. The normal time users are in operation: Watering the gardens Weeding the gardens Feeding and tending to the critters This year, however, we have been bomb-barded with the unexpected: Major, constant rain fall. Yes, this helps with the watering issues – but – it has caused Kaos in the weeding process. ...

I am a creator, and I am lost. I get so overwhelmed with the daily happenings that I have not had time to even step into my craft room (yes, I am in tears). My crafts have been calling to me – LOUDLY! I know that they all miss me, too. I used to drift into my favorite room and get lost in there all day (sometimes several days – oops-haha)....

We are not getting our normal Colorado weather. Lately, trying to garden is looking more like this: Just trying to get to the gardens takes half the day. Then it rains hard, and it all starts over again. I am assuming the actual veggies we have in the plots are doing well: The general population has no clue what it takes to create good, fresh food....

I just realized it has been over a year since I last posted here - SHAME ON ME! My world, in general, has been all messed up. Such is life! My problem is me. I have to work hard to keep myself out of “funk,” and it’s a disaster when I fail. When I get my funk on, I get angry and deeply depressed and want to crawl off into a corner and disappear....
