old-fashioned

there was a time when i felt that my life was boring and frustratingly redundant. i don't feel that way anymore. at lunch i was sitting on a grassy nole reading the great gatsby, feeling incredibly content. life is slowing down. i have fewer commitments and less activities. i'm not rushed and i'm not overwhelmed. i spend time knitting, reading, watching tv online, and am quite satisfied with this low-fi life. i like it a great deal.

having once been a stupid 20-something, i have little patience for young stupidity. i wonder why it's so hard for some people, in some situations to make good decisions. why was it hard for me i wonder. is self-destruction like a drug or is it more like a spiral staircase? either way it seems to begat more bad choices. watching and/or being affected by a domino affect of bad decisions is painful for me. in my 30s i'm drawn to health and wellness. and as a result to people who thrive and flourish. who have stories of adventure and overcoming. life doesn't have to be constantly difficult. toxicity is so done. give me redemption and peace of mind + heart any day.

it's official, it's mid-july and all the herbs in my garden are dead. yup... right on time.

to my surprise i may be turning into a foody. i didn't think that was possible. i figured people were either foodies or they weren't. i'm sure many factors are playing off each other to create this new interest in cooking and tastiness. whatever the reasons, it seems the right mix have come together to create yet another surprise. getting older is amazing, there's so much to learn and explore.
