Daily observations of my simple life.

Morning:

There's a cool chill to the air. I roll out of bed and dress after my first cup of cocoa/coffee.  Out the door it's crisp but I head for the barns to feed. Frank is already out doing the feeding. I'm going to have to be careful or he'll take all my jobs. He said, " Thought you might not like to come out in the cold." I smiled and said,"It's good discipline, keeps me active."  It's true I have my off days but I don't want to become dependant on others to do my work.

Sage was eager for me to come in and give her a hug. She is such a loving creature. Cheriki is a bit stand offish again, I will have to work with her.

I have a busy day ahead, cleaning to do, a couple more cards to send out, and the trees need watering dispite the cold. This will not be a veg out day.

Got a card from family yesterday. I loved the little dancing birds all across the page. It reminded me of my New years resolution to be, dance and swim at least once a month. I may be dancing out in the desert but this year I'll dance.  Was one sad note to the card, not a single acknowledgement of me as a person, only a form letter telling of all their many acomplishments . Somehow that seems very rude to me you should at least ask something about the person you send to, it is the height of conceit to feel that others must enjoy your life braggings but not acknowledge that they too are entitled to a lifeand indeed have a life with accomplishments.  I think I will send them a mirror so they can just enjoy their own company and not  have to acknowledge that others have value. What do you think?  I have grown weary of the ego games people play. Relationships are give and take, caring, sharing and supporting. 

But I will not think of that today. I have to dance in the desert, that is after I get my work done.

I hate those form letters too, love the mirror idea. Just dont dance with your eyes closed, everything out there bites, stings or stabs.

Fully clothed I went out in the cold wind. Sat in my fort and saw that it was warmer.
Tried to comment on your sandwich blog, very good, think we're on the same page today.
