About today... hot, but not only.

I am changed. And do you know how I know it? by admitting that I am not changed, that I am who I always were - that failed - and so I must've changed.

It is interesting, sound wise, how chains and changed are similar right

* So today I used the grass cutter and cleared out some spaces like I wanted to. I feel satisfied with the work.

* Filled all water buckets from the cistern - that is taking me longer than I was thinking, as I am taking the water with a bucket out the underground built cistern, collecting rainwater, then I am filtering the water for the big drinking water bottle and I am filling few other containers without filtering it - a bucket for washing the dishes, a bottle for general use, the cat bowls around, a bucket for showering myself.

* I cooked a basic pasta with a ready pesto sauce but it was awesome :)

* I swap the floor a bit, I am beginning cleaning as in 3 days the new volunteer is arriving.

* I wrote some drafts about how I want to get going with my work, designing a future art project.

* Watching a cicada going around my doorstep

Now what... it is the middle of the day and it is hot! What to do........:) Maybe go for a coffee at this ancient fort nearby that I always think of going but never making it...:)) It is nearby the nudist beach, but I am not sure I would like to walk to the beach as it is going up and down, rocky, hot, etc.. Let me see......................... 💜

I'm not entirely sure why but reading that brought to mind Kipling's lines from If.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

And you do fill those minutes.

Ignore the probably unconscious misogyny, I think Kipling would have meant to include women had he been questioned about it.

@JRVanguard you think you'd cool down, then you climb up the hot rocks and you re-think after few times !!! I'm telling you, and I am not one that is scared of moving..uhgm

@Boeing Then it’s time for even more ice cream maybe🤔

It sounds as if we are both a enjoying simple day; full of necessary tasks.

I am going to go to the market for vegetables, stop to get a chicken, then do work in my yard.

I shall also swim in my lake.

@QCDog2659 ah yes enjoy your swim! I am actually inspired reading this, to walk the other direction if I wanted to swim later on, and go for a swim at the casual beach. It is a long way but mostly a descending flat. Will see later on though, now I just gather my energy to stand up to go to that fortress for a cafe!

@Boeing Thank you!!

I enjoy my swims. My showers in the rain. My walks in the woods and fields.

You`re very busy, but I think you need to take some time for yourself, whatever you choose.

I love the way you continue to become... each moment connected to the next with seemingly inconsequential and often short experiences, thoughts, notes taken, and sounds heard.

And with each of these you continue becoming - continue this beautiful thing we call our life.
