Mama PJ posted this on her blog. The idea is to list what you are about without stopping to think about it. I guess this is a stream of consciousness about who I am and what I like. I don't think that there is a limit but I'm going to stop when I can't come up with anything else. So, today I’m about…
- restoring my soul with the beauty that surrounds me
- the flowers that are abundant in the yard at our home
- picking and finding interesting ways to eat the vegetables that are plentiful now in the garden
- getting enough sleep without any bad dreams at night
- being comfortable with my surroundings
- being in love with life and some special people in it
- talking to the dogs and watching their silliness as they play
- having the cats purring on my chest this morning
- seeing the many sailboats from my window
- wonder at puffy white clouds and blue sky
- modern technology that I know how to use
- having enough money to be generous to others
- acceptance and open minded views
- getting "I love you" calls
- doing my part to make the environment better
- being comfortable with the clothes I wear
- not being judgmental or unkind
- talking to an old colleague who will retire at the same time that I do
- a sentimentality that often brings tears to my eyes
- being who I am, all of me good and bad
You paint a beautiful picture of your life, Syd.
ReplyDeleteIf i stop and think about it, I want to be just like you...probably why you're not supposed to think about it.

ReplyDeleteWhen are you and your wife coming to CT for a visit? We have an extra bedroom.
We can go to Mystic!
Syd, thank you so much for sharing this exercise... it revealed to me that I am a lot more than my illness, "isms", and difficulties... and I am learning a lot from your site.
