Midweek Doings and Thoughts

 As many of us have mentioned this month is just flying past. In my case this has been happening more and more the older I get. Slowing down my days does not seem to slow down the passage of time. 

This week has been one where I am trying to do all those little tasks that seem to get pushed aside for those bigger ones. I have worked on my extra cleaning list and am slowly but surely reaching the end of that. 

I have also almost finished most of my projects for the month. I won't finish weaving the rug, but I should have a good start on getting it finished early next month. Today I plan on gathering the supplies for that so I can start immediately the finishing touches are completed on the tea towels and the mittens. 

Slowly but surely salves are being completed, and herbs dehydrated for the month. I had thought I could take some to Kris's this weekend, but he managed to get his herbs planted and doesn't need any of mine. 

Kurt will be flying home from Toronto tomorrow and will phone his Dad to wish him a happy 75th birthday. That's right. Tomorrow Harvey turns 75. Must remember to make him a cake or pie to celebrate. 

I decided to look up the meaning of abundance. Here is what my dictionary says

abundance  noun  a quantity that is more than enough. abundant  adjective  from the Latin abundantia, from abundare. See abound

So I looked up the meaning of abound

Abound verb  be plentiful, be rich in  from the Latin ab-off + undare flow

Pretty sure there is so much abundance around all of us, more than we can even see or count. Summer showers bringing rain to our gardens, or washing our cars. Food growing in our gardens, and being used on our tables.

For the rest of the year I am going to concentrated on the abundance that surrounds me. Not burying my head in the sand about the bad things that are happening. I will prepare, but not let those things rule my day to day living.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
