Power Thought:

Keep the Dream Alive

Action
Call About Land ☑
 Go Look At Land

Sometimes those old doubt's raise their ugly heads and try to steal from us. Especially when we think about all that is involved in making our dreams come true. That is when our thinking must reject those ugly doubts. People who accomplish what seems impossible do just that & keep that dream right in front of them!

The more rustic the better i like it!

This is a duplicate of our old home with the exception is has a second floor and is much larger. We would use chipped would siding and about 800 sq ft.

 Almost 10 acres the photo's are beautiful! It even has a pond like our old home place did.

We will go take a look at it this afternoon after hubby gets off work.

Dreams keep us young, alive and motivated.

The Past, A Dream, Contentment & The Future

My Infatuation with the 60's is obviously due to finding a few f/b sites with photo's that just plain bring me joy. I was a child then and could not begin to know the reality of this generation. I was a teen in the early 70's and a by product of the 60's. There was not peace in my world.

So just let me enjoy the world i envision as it is healing...for me.

The photo below i would have added "We Can" or if we Choose to be.

Breathing techniques are used in Psychology for many reasons. Look up Heart Math. It's used also for PTSD.

Sometimes doing for other's; we are the one who benefits the most.

*Maybe this is why i long so much to go back to the country. It is so very peaceful.*

Maybe if we changed some things in our lives to simplify them, focused more on friendships and socializing outside this computer, our lives would slow down, folks would gather on the weekends in the yard to spend time together like we used to, the people we pay for a service would be kinder & we would be kinder to them, & we would be more content.

The  Past

The Future

Duplicate of the past- only logs and way too big! Our house was 900sq ft and had chipped wood siding. It sat on 5 acres, had a pond and huge morton building hubby used as a workshop. He fenced in the whole property himself.

And about 5 acres of land.

I've always wanted to learn to grow organic food. It's time to start researching! 

Think I'm just dreaming? Yep, I am a dreamer and dreams do come true!

To Keep Or Not to Keep?

 ✍

I'm still trying to decide if this new camera will add up to the old one i had. It has anti shake on it but photo's are still turning out blurry. Especially close ups. I probably will go back to a Kodak easy share. When i get serious about it again i will have to invest some real money! My serious camera is for film, not digital...Thats how fast technology has come along!

I love light and shadows more than any other photo's i take. This is what i got today from our yard.

This is up against an old out building

I can't seem to get good photo's of the jewelry i make because they are close ups.

Getting back into taking photo's is a challenge i want to accomplish. It was easy to find things to photograph but in town I'm at a loss. I suppose we will have to go out to the country somewhere to find something to photograph! 

My challenge thought for today!

"Let Nothing Enslave You!"

`The 60's and my Challenge`

☮

I don't sleep alot and last night spent some time looking at photo's. I came across a page on f/b that most all the photo's were from or of the 60's. I found myself smiling the whole time and realized i was more relaxed than I'd been in quite awhile.

I got so much joy from those photo's and downloaded many. That got me to thinking about my power word or thought today. 

`Hope` was the first and only thing on my mind for many reasons. A few minutes ago i looked up Websters definition out of curiosity. What i found was more important than the definition. 

They keep up with what words are looked up the most. This is what i found. First i want to post` Websters Definition`.

#1 HOPE

1: to cherish a desire with anticipation 

2 : to desire with expectation of obtainment

  3 : to expect with confidence : trust

I found this photo at the page i mentioned above. I can picture the 60's and some young adults marking this old wooden sign. It is the root of all that keeps us going, how we respond to hard times and loss. 

I know from being online so much myself people are very Lonely. Who would not rather socialize with real people in place of this? The opposite of hope is despair.

This is the tell all...

--->Hope is currently in the top 1% of lookups and is the 419th most popular word on Merriam-Webster.com.<---

❤    ❤    ❤

 This also will be my #2 `learning challenge`...

Anyone old enough to remember doing this? I was not but i do love the pics & how i choose to perceive the 60's today!

#3 What's for Supper? 

My hubby picked up some fresh green beans, squash and cantaloupe from the farmers market yesterday!  Guess what's for Supper! :) We do not eat alot of meat because we love veggies so much. I will come up with one other veggie & we have a Healthy Meal!

Whats on Your menu for tonight? 

Whatever your night holds i `Hope` it's Happy!
