Sunday Musings ~

Good Sunday Morning

~ Friends & Folk ~

These gloomy days are seemingly never-ending!

...we desperately need colder temps to kill off the bad flora & fauna 

that has been thriving in the damp, warm temps…

Peter has a chest cold & cough, 

and I have been slathering him with homemade vapo-rub 

made by dear friend Nancy…

and filling him up with piping-hot peppermint tea 

… with ground ginger and honey ~

I have been stitching when I can,

and am hoping to devote today to the finish of this design below ~

Do any of you keep a journal?

of your stitching perhaps or thoughts, dreams…aspirations or goals?

do you journal about the days past or those-to-come?

how about journaling recipes, or craft ideas?

or simply putting your feelings down on paper…

sometimes that can be so very cathartic for us.

somehow seeing my words & reading them over again is healing for me.

besides doodling in my sketch-books, 

I like to include thoughts & words while creating…about gardening, herbs & such.

or names from the past ~ 

old names like 'Orphelia', or 'Phineaus' ~ just because I like to see them.

{you might even find a few good 'spells' in my journals…well maybe more than a few}

:)

I have many ~ small to large…some contain bits & pieces of random encouraging words like:

peaceful, remember, love thyself, forgive….

there are half-finished masterpieces {in my mind} and some hold bittersweet-memories.

I carry small journals in each of my sewing baskets…and purses!

there is {{at least}} one in each room of my farmhouse, 

… safely tucked-away in drawers and bins and always at the ready 

of my fleeting mind's muse.

~ sitting quietly at times, re-reading my penned & penciled thoughts

helps me greatly know who I am and how I can always become a better-self…

hopefully, 

one day many moons from now ~ someone will find one of my journals and read it

and think to themselves in a positive way about me; 

and know that everyday holds a chance to choose

happiness.

Hoping you all have a wonderful day, 

~ filled with inspiration & love!

~ Blessings from the Farm ~
