Celebrating Granny
Granny came for the weekend. She arrived Friday evening and her birthday was Saturday. I made a crockpot of beef vegie soup and there is enough left that I sent a canning jar full home with Granny and my brother, and I will have for our meal today.
Saturday morning began with “Happy Birthday” wishes and a hot breakfast. I made her a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a steak dinner. She enjoyed it thoroughly and we were happy to have her as a house guest.
The busy pace kept me on task, and I found I didn`t float off as much as the days prior. Coincidence maybe but I want to try and incorporate a few things in my daily routine to see if it helps.
While Granny was here, I was able to organize and rearrange my bedroom. My art corner had begun to be a catch all, not allowing me to sit and create. That is now changed to give me the comfort of exploring the quiet reflectiveness of creation.
I also now keep a daily planner next to my bed to remind me of appointments outside my phone and document tidbits of each day. I`ll have them to look back upon. Maybe, I`ll use those tidbits for ideas of a story or poem or just to reminisce.
Now that our company has departed, I am writing this article and then settling in for a good nap and peaceful day reading, catching up on some videos on YouTube that I enjoy and basking in the quietness of a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Thank you for stopping in with me here and reading my stories, songs and poems. Also, for understanding I miss a day here and there. One Soul`s Journey now has 41 subscribers- 234 followers. I have published on OSJ 64 articles in 53 days since creating OSJ.
I am not monetized nor want to be all I ask is that you do some act of kindness to your fellow human being.
The intellectual rights to all my creations I share remain mine. Just as they are on anyone’s Substack. I enjoy that because it gives the ability to share and grow as an artist than my physical ability allows. It builds bonds, help spread goodness and shine a little light where there is darkness. For me it restores my faith in humanity that good can conquer evil, that love can conquer hate, and where peace, humility and humanity toward each other can someday reign in a world. I may sound to some as if I dream too lofty. But in my heart, I believe we can overcome the darkness that lays before us.
