We are all together on this planet. What a gift this young man with his telescope brought to everyone who happened to be walking by. 2 Reply lasvistasjeanne1 week agolasvistasjeanneand all of us saying “WOW” about all of them saying “WOW!” 🙂 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioThank you, Jeanne! That video brought me joy, and happy tears to my eyes. Last night I was looking at the moon.

She is just a little bunny. 🙂 0 Reply Holly in Ohio1 week agoHolly in Ohiohahaha! Funny Rabbit. I loved that movie! Kids (or grandkids) are a wonderful excuse to watch kids’ movies! 0 Reply Rabbit1 week agoRabbitI love them too and I don’t even need the excuse. They are spirit lifters. I like her little vest too. We do an on-line puzzle each evening. Yesterday I used the picture and let it break into pieces without letting my husband see what the picture was. He didn’t get it until the last piece. 1 Reply Holly in Ohio1 week agoHolly in Ohiohahaa! What was that b&w tv game show? Concentration? I take it you found a website that can make a puzzle out of a photo? That is a cool idea. I found one that will let me create crossword puzzles, though they are not very compact crosswords. 0 Reply Rabbit2 weeks agoRabbitOk, I am confused. This likes like a cute little sloth to me. 🥰😻 2 Reply Holly in Ohio1 week agoHolly in OhioIt is, but there is a rabbit in that movie, too. The rabbit (who is a police officer) and the fox… they, um… well the rabbit tries to arrest the fox… it’s a good movie. Wish I could remember the name of it, though. Definitely a “feel good” movie. 0 Reply Rabbit1 week agoRabbitZootopia. It is great fun. 0 Reply Mica1 week agoMicaOh Rabbit! Are you accusing my fancy ragdoll cat of being a sloth?? 😐 1 Reply Holly in Ohio1 week agoHolly in OhioAren’t most cats? 0 Reply Rabbit1 week agoRabbitI looked up ragdoll cats and they look like cats. My eyes must be playing tricks on me. 🤦♀️🤦♀️But I do think sloths are so cute. Did you see the movie Zootopia? My husband and I mimic the sloth in it a lot. He is sooooo slow. Going to look at the picture again. 😍 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioLovely! Very creative! I’m glad Rudi likes it. Reuse projects are fabulous. You asked about t-shirt yarn, and that is also a reuse type of project. It is a very chunky yarn you can make from old t-shirts by cutting the torso first into ‘tines’ like a fork, and then you cut the part that is still joined at an angle and it magically makes one very long ribbon. Then, because it is a knit, you give a little pull, and it stretches into a cord! Then you can make things with it. 2 Reply Mica2 weeks agoMicaDo you remember the round rag rugs? My grandmother made them. 🙂 2 Reply Rabbit2 weeks agoRabbitI do my aunt made them. 1 Reply Mica1 week agoMicaRabbit – here’s the picture of the crochet hoop mandala with fabric strips. I left my strips quite loose, but many people pulled them tight so they looked more like yarn – thanks for your interest 🙂 2 Reply Holly in Ohio1 week agoHolly in Ohionice! ☺ 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioI DO! I hope to make a rug with the t-shirt yarn! 😃 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioFrom that… to this… 2 Reply Mica2 weeks agoMicaThanks, Holly – cool! Much like my t-shirt string, but it was just from a slice around the bottom of the t-shirt. I used strips of old sheet for the ties in some of my face masks, too, and I have lots of extra strips. 🙂 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioThat is a great re-use of t-shirt parts! 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioAnd then once you have a basket of yarn balls, you can make just about anything by crochet or knitting, like maybe this. I hope to try making a throw rug with a bunch of t-shirt yarn balls. The beauty of it, is I can use t-shirts no longer good for wear. They can have holes, they can be stained… it doesn’t matter. It will still make good t-shirt yarn. I bet t-shirt yarn would make a great cat basket! 🙂 1 Reply Rabbit2 weeks agoRabbitHolly, can we see a picture of your mandala? 1 Reply Mica2 weeks agoMicaThere’s an adult craft class at my local library and we made ‘mandalas’ with a crochet hoop strung with thin string ‘spokes’, and we wove strips of fabric around and around the spokes. The crafts often involve books – too many old atlases are donated, for example, and they can be used for fun art projects. I like making ‘art’ from old books. 2 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioGood morning! The season is definitely changing here in Ohio. It has been a little nippy at night though this morning I am sitting in sunshine. I was trying to make t-shirt yarn while I drank my coffee, but my old cat wanted my lap and was quite insistent. He is noe making odd purring noises like a Tribble, while I try to type with one hand. There is fur all over my keyboad. 😂 3 Reply Rabbit2 weeks agoRabbitCool nights here too.

Cameron just spotted it today! I knew I might get one because I had a blossom earlier this year. This is one of the orange trees I grew from a seed! I have to grow it in a pot and keep it indoors for about five months out of the year, because I’m up here by Lake Erie! It’s only about the size of a large marble right now, but I’m so chuffed! I feel like a new mommy. 😂 7 Reply Rabbit2 weeks agoRabbitVery cool. Maybe you can keep us up to date on the growth. 🍊🍊🍊 1 Reply Mike S2 weeks agoMike SIt’s so much fun to grow fruit. We used to have a small lemon bush growing on our back deck. The lemons were a sweet kind. 1 Reply Rabbit2 weeks agoRabbitJust read today lemons are really good for us. They go in as acid and change to alkaline. 1 Reply Holly in Ohio1 week agoHolly in OhioYes! Some people drink lemon water every morning for this reason. 0 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioGood morning, Mike! If it was sweet, it was probably the Meyer Lemon, a lovely old heirloom variety. That is the only one I know of that is sweet. ☺ 1 Reply Mike S2 weeks agoMike SYes,Meyer lemon😊 2 Reply Mica2 weeks agoMicaWow, Holly! 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioThank you, Mica.

I remember seeing his name on TV shows I liked as a kid, and when I was starting off my own career in television (which has since ended), I saw that he had a blog. I began reading the blog casually and went back each day because I knew that there would be a new post there. Since then, I have moved across the country, changed jobs and careers numerous times, gotten married, bought a house, had a child, made countless friends, and handled several personal traumas. Yesterday, this writer announced that he was ending his blog. It knocked the wind out of me. Even thinking of it now, I am tearing up. That blog represented five minutes of my day (occasionally, a little more), but it was such a respite and a ritual for me. No matter what was going on in my life and in my world, I had a little spot to look forward to each day. Losing that made me reflect on all that has changed for me in the past 15 years, as well as what areas I would like to change moving forward. I come here looking for a small daily ritual, some respite and some community, in a manageable form. I hope that I can contribute.

Having joined Gratefulness.org after the presence of Ursula, I only just recently learned that this was a day focused on healing ourselves and others. I have been contemplating this. I know many here, including myself, have trouble sleeping. Good sleep is so important for health and mental health. I found a lovely article online about two months ago that was about bedtime routines and had many suggestions. I like the article so much that I decided as part of my self-care, to develop a bedtime ritual for myself, to help with sleep and ease. I picked several things, including massaging my feet, which often hurt at the end of the day and keep me awake. I have not kept up with that, but two things I found very helpful are trying to stick to a regular bedtime, with calm for the half hour before, and I am using an aromatherapy roll on that I put on my wrists just before sleep. It is odd that the smell, and the ritual of that pleasant smell, has become a trigger for, “okay this is sleep time,” but I find that it helps. And often in that last half hour, I have a cup of tea. It is strange, but doing the same little actions each night at the same time are comforting and send a signal to my body to relax. I am wondering, does anyone else have a bedtime ritual, or have found things to help with sleep? Read More 3 Reply Palm2 weeks agoPalmThank you, Holly.

The manefestation idea… i might have thought that, too, but for the way the pose and imagery was presented to us. Instead, it just felt wonderfully grounding, connecting us with the great strength of the earth and everything on it. And with all the people around the globe practicing the corpse pose daily, for centuries, you would think that if they were manefesting death, someone would have noticed by now! 😄 Here are some instructions for the pose if you care to give it another go… https://www.artofliving.org/us-en/corpse-pose-savasana Thank you, Palm, for the great ideas! ❤ Read More1 Reply Palm2 weeks agoPalmHolly, thank you for telling me about Easy Chair Yoga, it’s perfect for me!

It’s what I was wishing to hear, yes, somebody would have noticed if people started dying 😂 I haven’t practised yoga but gentle exercise seems like something I could do. I tried the pose last night, it is relaxing! I also noticed that I’ve taken to reading and journaling before sleep and this calms me, as I put to rest whatever happened in the day. I had a ritual and didn’t know it.. 😊 1 Reply Holly in Ohio2 weeks agoHolly in OhioI’m so excited for you. I think I might take up reading, again, too, as I have fallen off that wonderful habit. There is a yoga practice called “Easy Chair Yoga” that is quite popular these days, and it is so gentle on the body that almost everyone can do it, even when they can’t get to the floor or have limited range of motion, or when they have not done yoga before. 🙂 2 Reply Mica2 weeks agoMicaWarm wishes to you on Prayer Tuesday 🙂 [‘Happy Prayer Tuesday’ doesn’t seem to express it so well 😐 ] From our dear Br.

But this is what was so good about it… unlike many times this summer, my body did not overreact to it, and this discovery actually gives me joy and hope! No swelling. The pain subsided. The day took a different turn then because of that. I was planning to do less today anyway to give myself a restorative break after the sale and cleanup. After Benedryl, “easy” was the natural outcome, hahaha! So I relaxed, I was able to help gardeners online, answering questions about improving garden soil, identifying photos of pests and eggs for them, and identifying wasp species and advising them how to deal with them organically. That was nice because I was making people happy. And then my husband and I met a nice couple who came to our door to ask about the honey we sell. We had a lovely hour talking to this couple, who have yellow jackets nesting in their attic and who love honey bees. We showed them our bees up close. Very nice. Then it was time for me to have a Benedryl nap, hahaha. It was a nice nap and I dreamt my husband was extracting honey. The dream seemed so real! When I woke, my husband had dinner ready.
