Too high of expectations or society set expectations , affect all of us. Permission to not do things the expected way, the main stream way, or to change what we expect of ourselves. All things we find hard.

I told you I could write about this everyday. I hope you like transitional rides, with lots of twists and turns, highs and lows, of refocusing your life. If so you are in the right place. I follow different blogs, programs and different things to do with organizing. I don’t follow it to a tee but I like the inspiration and ideas.

I could probably post on this subject everyday. I call myself a collector of sorts. My house is full of beautiful things. Some may call me a hoarder, yes my husband, but I am not. Really, I am not.

Happy Sunday…

I hope this finds you safe. We have had some cool days and rain. The smoke cleared to safer levels in our valley along with blue skies. I am so grateful for this, even though I fear it won’t last for long.

It calls to mind the nautical phrase, “Steady as She Goes!” which is a cry to the helmsman to keep on the current course. Laurie helped me get on the course I was looking for and is now giving me the tools to sail onward.

I have some excess trees and vines. In the last few years I have started to sell them to make improvements to my yard. It is fun to share plants, most leave here with extras.

Spring has Sprung here in Western Montana. Summer will soon be upon us but maybe in name only.

“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about ….”As you know things change, sometimes daily, weekly, monthly or yearly and sometimes it seems all at once.
