I really wonder where they are all going!!<br /><br />I get in those moods too - I brood about things and then I become quiet, because otherwise I would be a not nice person.<br />I love summer months here, as I get so much more time outside. Nature puts me in a good place. It can be simply watering the plants, pulling weeds, or just sitting on the bench in the shade.<br /><br />There is nothing that can't wait.

In completely agree with ...Here, here, Miss Cheryl. In completely agree with you. I have just spent a couple of days with my parents. Mum wanted to spoil me and took me out for dinner and then for a morning tea. Each time we went out the amount of people flying around in their cars was amazing. The people at the tea house were being served the most amazing food and tea blends(I love tea) but rather than savouring the aroma, they were scoffing the food and tea down. I was amazed by this. I'm home again and am happily doing some chores, stopping for tea(I bought a bag of delicious tea home) and then working again. What I don't get done today will be there tomorrow or even the day after.<br />I have a saying that resonates with me<br />"You create beauty with your attitude, your behaviours and your actions. It's all up to you."<br />I have to admit to being a real grumpous earlier in the week. I was not nice and I let everything and everyone get to me. Thankfully I have left this awful attitude behind and have come back to being my nice self again.<br />Have a wonderful and simple week.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-69876142917142557692017-06-02T13:14:19.832-04:002017-06-02T13:14:19.832-04:00I understand the need to always be doing something...I understand the need to always be doing something.

I think that's why I hate cell phones so much. Always in touch and you can't get away. I leave mine at home as much as possible. Great post!

Last night I took time for me and used our hot tub, something I had not done for about 2 weeks. After I turned off the jets, I just sad there and listened to the sound of the frogs, the wind in the trees and the birds saying goodnight to one another. Today I am baking bread and am deeply breathing in the aroma of the freshly baking sandwich and banana bread loaves.
