Lesson 961: A Me Moment

 Hello, Readers.

Eloise here,

if you look hard through the

smoky haze of wildfire smoke.

Our hearts go out to our Canadian friends.

How terrifying.

I spent the last few days wishing 

there was something I could do to help.

It is very hard for me to feel helpless

when someone is hurting.

It got me thinking about my worth as a person--

you know,

the Why Am I Here

kind of thought train.

Have I done enough in life?
Have I contributed positively to this world?

I was outside all day today--

unavoidable, really.

My plants needed me

and American Legion baseball

has commenced.

I was pondering life

while I stopped to spy on a bird nest,

built in the crook of a downspout

right outside of my childhood bedroom.

I was standing at my bean teepee

in my toe shoes,

camera strapped like a weapon crossbody,

book in hand

when the thought hit me: 

Right here

That's where I'm supposed to be--right here,

doing what a do.

It was quite A Me Moment.

Go a little further,

you can see my Princess Diana commemorative ring

my FitBit that tracks my steps, sleep, and heart rate,

and tracks of sourdough on my forearm.

a remnant of this morning's loaf prep.

Right here.

That's where we are all supposed to be.

In my Me Moments

you'll find me picking flowers

photographing wildlife--

We found twins this week!

And reading some books.

This book is excellent.

I'll probably do a post just on this book.

Others are having their Me Moments, too.

Penny got her photo taken at Pet Supplies Plus

for her birthday!

Gus had his birthday two days later.

Natalie is happy with her first CSA delivery!

The Wizard was out when the guys drove through

Leeper, PA.

Always a thrill.

The gamers of the house also won big

at the Cherry Festival.

We made out annual outing

for a doughboy,

some BINGO,

and a game or two.

Three Pill Game wins

and two BINGOs

made us head home with our 

winnings.

Ellen had a Lucky find, too,

with a drink she took up 

to a weekend trip.

--A collab with Pet Rescues!

My Sis had a Me Moment

and earned her Iron Man medal

with these two teammates.

Kenyan is one tough lady

and 

Eloise is one tired lady.

We play an early game tomorrow

so I am going to dream of rain

and a land free from smoke and fire--

unless the bats iginite tomorrow.

That will be fine.

Praying for our Canadian friends.

Eloise
