Stepping into the creek with a pedicure-be-damned  attitudethe cool, cool water and earth shifted under foot lifting weight of my heavy worried thoughts of late and brightend my introspective retrospective melancholy mood…If only for a moment…. I forgot about all the discord and ugliness in the world.It was sublime.Despite an urge to give up or even kicking the bucket so to speak, it reminded me to keep filling it drop by drop.For one drop can begin movement towards becoming more moments like this. It may have been just one drop in the bucket yet,  a series of drops will eventually fill it. We decide with what to fill our buckets. We all have them… some are really heavy… sometimes we have to rest and put them down for a moment. The key is to when once again picking them up we decide what to keep and what to let wash away.

Shakey Foundation

Realllllllllly rough day. I mean rather epically upheaving to the foundation. Yeah. Good times. However. …  … …
Not only is this the time of year when the mornings are crisply flooded with gossamer  edge-frosty light, shy but showy marigolds make their appearance as summer’s blooms hold on for dear life and the trees prepare for a splendid amber display before taking a well- deserved intermission from holding up their balmy branches of wiley leaves, somehow revelation and contemplative enlightened perspective occurs. They (those trees that offer us shade on a blazingly bright balmy hot humid day) like many,  they are exhausted from the pressure to display splendor. To ” show up”. Autumn shows a winding down perspective. It’s as if the  universe and our intuitive guidance is saying as the earth shifts her axis: show more gratitude over attitude and just slow the efff down. It’ll be okay.  It’s a cycle, this thing called life.  Like the moon or the seasons, there is a myriad of several of similar cycle on a loop. Yeah, it can be dark at times yet,  light always somehow comes back around. Trust. Know. Believe all will be well. Even not, what is the harm in thinking so? Hmmm??🤔😉
I absolutely adore Autumn.  It tugs at my shirt tail and reminds me of said cycles. You know what I speak of. The OMFG so much so much to do vs. wtf do I do…. you know it’s true. Can mess with a person if they aren’t living mindfully. Anyway… continuing with a snapshot of my life.  🤔😉
Life is a hamster wheel.  UPdownUPdownUPdown….repeat. With that….
In addition to experiencing levity during a particularly rough, prickly dark moment, later this evening things smoothed a bit. Not only was a childhood friend’s adult kid on Jimmy Fallon as an incredibly funny comic, my cheesy artichoke/jalapeño toast was deliciously divine.🌬💕🍁
Yay.
Yeah, life can sure suck a$$.
However,  it can also be splendid. It’s remarkable, really. Srsly. Life is a blessing,  albeit at times challenging 🌬💕🙏🕊🍁🎶
P.S. Just hope the ruminating insomnia troll stays under the bridge tonight. Need some shuteye and per chance, to dream☁️💭💤💨🤔🌬💕🙏🕊.
