Early Tuesday posting .... the last day of September.

 

As I educate myself on all things that I should

to be an informed part of my community, I look at both sides presented .

I will read articles from people who I would not usually find my taste to get a feel for

what is happening all around me...situational awareness.

What I find is a sometimes well written with cute graphics

piece that cherry picks the information that supports the way out there views of that side.

The writers byline is a puff piece in itself neglecting to add in

the many times they have been let go at jobs where

credibility is important ( like, everywhere).

It is frustrating at best.

So in the last few months I have stopped trying to rationalise

a viewpoint that seems to be either driven by mental illness or

vengeance . I instead have found people who live their lives

exactly as I would like to think that I do...

just concentrating on what is important and right in front of me.

By this time in this nonsensical movie we have been forced to watch

you would think most people who see the foreshadowing and realise that

they may have been mistaken by supported ideas they agreed with

but the methods proved to be less ethical than realised.

Nope.

Soldiering on with their tired narratives and rehearsed platitudes is getting tired

and old.

There will be no apologies and no remorse.

So, what do light bringers do to move on?

We find other light bringers and bring them to the forefront.

Like this strong and lovely woman living an her life focused upon

what is right in front of her.

It is a brave and in this age, daring way to live.

Imagine that...someone actually just living their life and not trying to

lecture others on how to live theirs.

She is a refreshing inspiration to me.

Has been for years & years.

Integrity can not be purchased or faked.

Spending time right where I am, in this very season is 

one of the best decisions I have made.

My focus is on what is right in front of me, not some trivial

matter that I have no effect on.

This has allowed me to focus upon real issues that I can actually do something about.

I am with those I love doing what I love with my heart in the correct place .

Life has been rewarding me with such blessings.

This weekend the Mr.  & I visited our friends at the farm

 and while  shopping their produce and meats,

we also picked out our pumpkins.

 

We chatted with them about when we will finally have them down to our place

after the holidays are finally over and they can get away from the farm for a day.

Yes, we talked about real topics, but instead of throwing our voices out into a sea

of indifference, we talked about what we can do to help our own

people where we live.

We talked concepts and how to apply them in a meaningful way

all while helping her trim the Brussel sprouts going into the farm stand.

We then visited our favorite sandwich shop for a chat with the owners

and her sweet staff. 

You know they created a sandwich for me?

They call it the Mrs. Claus.

It is prepped with my food allergy in mind and care to not cross contaminate.

It is a lettuce wrap of Vermont cheese, Rare roast beef, L, T, & onions.

They found out I was Mrs. C in a conversation aways back and have always

called it that since.

We then picnic in a hidden park in a tiny town centre by a cider mill

while letting the dogs walk and play in the leaves.

This is living to me.

This is reality.

Wholesome.

And this is my real life.

Since this is the end of September I just had to share this vintage recipe that

I found. It is a bit strange but I will try it (gf) none the less.

I like the idea of a whole dinner recipe card.

Our ability to understand this concept is our ability to heal as 

a community. It is hard to ignore the white noise of everything

and everyone all the time.

But when you do, when you finally break free from

anything other than real interactions, whether they be human, animal,

nature or spirit..... your life suddenly calms, you find peace and the

happiness once sought in other places is realised within.

Have a blessed Tuesday friends.
