@AffyAvo Lovely post. I don't feel ready for the Autumn yet. But, I like observing seasons. This post reminded me of numerous things. It is both time to harvest and prepare for some other possibilities. I want to see some theatre plays and read some scripts if not live, then online. And, in August as well I didn't stop doing yoga and walking, kept on reading, didn't plan anything for future future, saw and thought about on some good Lars Von Trier movies -The *** (1998), Melancholia (2011)- I did stay and here I am. We will all witness another full moon this month. Twice full moons in one month. So, it's *Once in a blue moon time. Blue sparkles everyone. All the best.
@WavesandSea Thank you! I could use a few extra weeks of green leaves myself but I do enjoy Autumn once I have accepted summer is over.
I hope you have the great time with the plays! I should look into more what's around me too. Your Aug sounds really fun! I'm glad you were able to do all of that. Excellent reminder of the blue moon!
What are your September plans?
I have a concert about halfway through the month! (Orchestra)
@Plantsaremybestfriends
*with
@Plantsaremybestfriends I'm glad you had a relaxing month!
I hope your concert goes well, enjoy that and the colourful leaves!
What are your September plans? I am going to bake sale to honor my brother on 9/28 and i am also going to be working, figuring out school and exercising
Do you have any August achievements you would like to share? i have been seeing family and friends and exercising more
How are you doing this week? my week is so so
@blissfulTouch29
A bake sale sounds like a fun way to do something that can be really somber, I hope you and the other attendees can support each other.
Sounds like a lot going on with working, school and exercising. Hope you find a good balance with it all!
@AffyAvo
im trying to find a balance
September plans
continue to take it one day at a time and grow as best I can and try to stop beating myself up for the challenges I often face.
August accomplishments
I got a job pretty quickly after a job loss. I’m proud of that. But worried it won’t work out well.
this week
just focusing on existing. “To exist is to be alive. To be alive is the greatest gift.” I came up with that phrase today and am really holding onto it.
more on that in a forthcoming post.
@AguaNector6700
Nice reminder to take it one day at a time. I am here for you if you need it
Thank you @blissfulTouch29. This means so much to me! I just got a med change that seems to be helping my mood but is causing extreme fatigue and drowsiness. I start my new job Tuesday. I hope I can be up to the challenge.
@AguaNector6700
you got this and maybe talk to the boss most bosses are there to help and listen like teachers.
@AguaNector6700
Losing a job can be such a blow in so many ways, that's really great you were able to get a new one quickly. I hope it is better than you anticipate, and if not that you can find something better suited to you if you do seek that out.
One day at a time and focusing on just existing can be a good way to get through a tough time. I wish you can also celebrate the you that you are right now, on your growth journey sometimes too!
@AffyAvo, good reminder. I do want to celebrate who I am right now. Worry is a big part of my day, but I can’t let that be the only thing.
I have been enjoying TV shows and that seems like the only thing I can really focus on right now. But it’s ok. And sleep, lots of sleep. The med change is helping my mood but is also causing all this fatigue.
I start my new job on Tuesday. I also have a pet sitting gig tonight and Monday morning. I hope I can accomplish that well.
celebrate who I am now. Good good. Yes, I definitely need this.
((hugs))
Right now I have a headache & am a bit dizzy, as usual.
Lately my guts have been acting up. All the above often leaves me drained of energy.
My plans for this week are vague for obvious reasons.
@slowdecline48 Sorry you are feeling so crummy, I hope you are able to rest and not feel so crummy soon!
Thanks @AffyAvo, that's sweet.
Um, Affy...I have a question...
Are you sure that pic is of a maple tree?
@slowdecline48 Oh my, it was labelled as such. I didn't look super closely, the leaves are at a bit of an odd angle and it does look like another plant as well, doesn't it.
We'll go with yes and if anyone knows differently hopefully they have a good laugh.
@AffyAvo That's good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to hook up the speakers to my laptop & play some Grateful Dead hits... 😉
