Day 2: More Medicine

Image
Hi Everyone... Well this is my bird bath I refilled today. YEP! It's BLUE!!! :-) Had to give my flowers and tomato plants their medicine today! :-) Only problem was when I finished, the new hose attachment's on/off arm popped off and sprayed me all over! HA! I guess I needed to cool off too & needed a laugh! Medicine for my spirit! HA! Problem is, I just bought the water attachment and I could not find the screw that popped off, so looks like I'll have to go exchange it. A few hours later Mother Nature unexpectedly sprinkled them a bit as well. Not too much though. We are expecting rain tomorrow as Tropical Storm Alberto heads up this way. It does not seem that we will get any severe weather though. ( UPDATE 2:05am Wed: Alberto is already here sprinkling!) Later in the day I headed to one of our local pet stores to get my kitty some food and while I always go say "Hi" to the shelter kitties looking for new homes, today I was also drawn t...

Day 1 Part 2: Water is Medicine

Hi Everyone... Well, this is the water I experienced today on Memorial Day visiting my family. We have had a stretch of unusually HOT weather for this time of the year. It was 102 yesterday & 99 today. The soaker hoses on a timer just was not enough, so I went to give the flowers & tomato plants some more water as they were in need of a 2nd round! :-) Water was truly their medicine today! I made sure the bird bath was also refreshed, as the birds no doubt would need some more water as well. We don't want them dehydrating in midair do we? Ha! The solar fountain is not doing too well...maybe it had too much sun as well! HA! I know, I know...Ha! It was a great feeling to help them out and provide them with nourishment. It nourished my soul to see them all perk up.

Day 1 Part 1: "Cool Change"

Image
Hi Everyone... Well, I started my Memorial Day heading up to see my family. As I was driving, I was thinking about starting the "100 Days of Blue" #100DaysofBlue today and talk about some very interesting energy...this song, "Cool Change" by Little River Band came on the radio! I'm going to be dating myself as I remember this song/band from when I was a teenager. HA! I found myself listening more deeply to this song than I had in the past. I am also "born in the sign water" as I am a Pisces! :-) Now I would not say I was unromantic...HA! Here are the lyrics: If there's one thing in my life that's missing It's the time that I spend alone Sailing on the cool and bright clear water It's kind of a special feeling When you're out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon, like a lover Time for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for...

100 Days of Blue

Image
Hi Everyone... I have volunteered to be an Ambassador for "100 Days of Blue" #100Daysofblue . It starts on Memorial Day (May 28th) and continues through Labor Day (Sept 4th). During this time, what I will be doing is sharing my thoughts, experiences, resources and water with you to foster "Blue Mind" #BlueMind .  Blue Mind is the idea that water fosters the mental, physical and spiritual health in your life. "Blue Mind" is the term/idea Dr. Wallace J. Nichols uses in his book " Blue Mind: the Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do"   Here is an explanation of Blue Mind by Dr. Nichols: Blue Mind Movie Sizzle Reel from Working Pictures on Vimeo .
