Zip-A-Dee Doo Da

I could never understand why some enjoy cooking ... not saying I do now, especially when the chore of clean-up follows. But when a special taste clicks with my tongue and there's no other way to satisfy it, motivation comes knocking. I'm stuck on the grilled eggplant and portobello recipe.

The newest books I've come across are about focusing on the positive, always ... I guess in a way it's about disciplining the mind to focus on what you want, always -- not want you don't, or you'll get more of the same ... I wish it were easier when hormones and pain are afoot, when energy levels are low, when traumatic events occur and when adverse thoughts dominate. Like passing up certain foods, I will endeavor to pass on unsavory thoughts and only pick the best; the ones that feel good.

"Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts that weaken you."

In this eternal, unfolding moment I am filled with an expectancy of good things.

I've spent a good deal of my weekend watching DVD's. Anyway, this pic is of me watching several amusing scenes. I spent all day in my jammies, clean-faced and happy.

I have also spent a great deal of my time reading.  The novel I'm reading now is called "The Sugar Queen."  One character has someone living at the bottom of her closet who tries to give her good advice.  Another character is followed around by books.  LOL!  Anytime she turns around a pertinent book will be next to her.  When she tries to ignore or get rid of it, it continues to show up different places like coming out of her cereal box in the morning.  She now has a whole storage of books that have "showed up" through the years.   Ah, if that were only me... imagine how much money I could save, since books are such a love of mine, lol. 

Ahhhh, just heard the pleasing sound of nearby wildlife: a limpkin; yet when I look to see where it's at, I instead see a green heron and a great blue heron =) ... I so love where I live!

I have started drawing again, a little at a time so as not to strain anything. The inevitability of the drawing's completion is proportionate to the desire that spawned it. Don't mind the last sentence; more like a footnote to myself.

Ahhh to the dawning of a new day as I looked out my back door earlier this morning:

Lookie what I found, with lyrics even ... come sing with me! You just must ;P
