Calm..... listening to bird calls, playing sudoku,, taking breaks


Empowered.... A student of mine finally understanding euclidean division and another obtaining good grades in an oral presentation, certainly not when my dog drags me to the river

@Fradiga I love hearing the mourning doves calling to another dove. Very soothing.

The doves here do not make the same call. We own a very old and huge Virginia tulip tree (150+ ft tall) which seasonally turns into an aviary war zone. The breeze or wind turns into ocean sounds in that tree as well. I wish I could post a picture

@soulsings

Exactly! Some saplings were brought over from the New World to Europe when this yard was designed, along with magnolia, cypress and the likes. This tree was planted in 1770 and is still doing well. Some of the main branches are braced with straps in case of a violent storm or breakage

@Fradiga what a great idea to put in braces so the branches do not break off!

What makes me feel calm is: a cup of hot chocolate, sitting in my window seat, listening to the music of my youth, and watching people pass by.

What empowers me is: having no one expire when I'm in the emergency department, saving everyone who came in on my shift. It really makes me feel the power and resiliency of the human spirit. ✨🌟

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful glad your life is simpler

For me my desire for busyness is less. I guess I am slowing down.

I used to ask what my dad did for a hobby. He said "watch the grass grow"

I am not that slow yet! lol

That sounds good, but what is Tofu? I think maybe you like cooking?😊

soulsings OP July 5th, 2023

@WorkingitThrough2 tofu is like soy cheese but it does not melt. It is also called soy curd or soybean curd. It has the same quality protein as eggs. It comes in soft like custard, firm like jello and extra firm like cold cuts.

It is bland but it takes on spicy flavors in sauces and makes a great protein addition to soups, mixed veggies, pasta dishes with sauces. What state or country d o you live in and I can look up where it is sold near you. I find my local supermarket has it in the produce section.
