I’ve been retired for almost 5 years. Still working on enjoying and valuing my Time, and much better at it now. Still, takes a looong time to deprogram from decades of “productivity”. #breathe #randomthoughts

Quietly sitting on the back patio enjoying the breeze and my peripheral vision picks up Godzilla heading toward me at ludicrous speed … or maybe not. Also, I might have a headache that causes me to hyper focus on what’s in front of me (phone) and be blindsided by anything that breaks my concentration. 🤕 PS. My heart is still beating quickly from the Godzilla scare 🦎 #outdoors #lizard #biggerontheinside

I enjoy reading David at Raptitude; he’s use of metaphors and visuals (with have-to-read captions) is fun and helps me remember his concepts…. such as donuts and marathons from this article:

Back home after a loooong day of travel. Had a red eye for the last flight, and managed to get a decent night shot of Vancouver from the plane. #travel #photostr

Last hike on the mountain because I fly home tomorrow. Said good-bye to my bench. 👋 And heard a loud squawking near the parking lot on the way back … sounded like a duck was being tortured. Turned out to be 2 Steller’s Jays. Love the shimmering blue on these birds. They are in Texas, but not my area, so it’s always great to see them when I visit BC. #outdoors #proofofwalk #birdstr

Art Challenge for June & July…. I have themes I’ll present via my @npub1wdpf...0p5m account at the beginning of the month. If those don’t work for you, there’s the Index Card A Day art challenge by Daisy Yellow (not on Nostr) that runs through both months … you could even follow my themes on index cards if you want. 😉 I’ve done ICAD a few times, and the fixed size is a decision you don’t have to make every day, so you can focus on other aspects like what to create how how to use your supplies. Her website has tons of ideas and support:

Iris in da house! Fresh out of my mom’s garden. Hers took longer to bloom than the houses down the street. #blooming #flowerstr #iris

Tshirt shadow selfie because it’s actually summer now. At least for today. #proofofwalk #outdoors #selfie

Short hike to a little but loud waterfall today. #outdoors #proofofwalk #waterfall #video

Sitting on the patio watching the clouds build and darken. Weather says no rain. My massive headache says yes rain. Neighbors are chatting loudly and playing Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” …. which is such a college song for me. #randomthoughts #tunestr #waybackmrpeabody

There will be a digital art gallery!!!! 🎉 #artstr #grownostr #event View quoted note →
