I write this because sometimes in my desire to speak my mind, I acknowledge that often the more brutal, sarcastic side of me wins out.

There are many ways of getting our point across.

Operating at the kindest most compassionate level is what we all need to strive for, so in many ways it’s a message to myself. To channel the veil of compassion and understanding a little more, a little harder.

Love to all ❤️

So many times I have pushed aside that inner voice to my detriment - I think if I were a bit quieter sometimes I might hear her better ;)

I am so keen to fill a silence sometimes that I know I gabble and then look back, like Hagrid, and say ‘oh.. I should not have said that, no, I should not have said that!’ 😳

One of my favourite phrases is “we can only go from where we are”

Treat yourself with compassion.

Move on.

Sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts. I was mowing the other day and while I was mowing a storm came up. I wear hearing aids along with sound protection. I was mowing and off somewhere in my mental world. My wife yelled at me from the porch but to avail. She called me on my phone which is connected to my hearing aids. "Where are you?" "Mowing" was my reply. "Could you stop and look up?" Returning back to the present I did notice it might be time to retreat to the barn and put everything up and finish another day.

I think this was developed when I was driving a tractor on a farm in my younger days. Not what you see now but tractors with open cabs, no radio and big engines, loud noise coming from the muffler and training your mind to think of something else but the heat, noise and sometimes boredom for ten to twelve hours a day. People keep telling me how good things were.

Sorry about the rambling. My wife is used to it and is glad I have a place to put thing down.

Dropped my phone in the water tub 2 days ago. It's. . .resting. Maybe that internal voice is calling. Thank you Julie. Lovely scene.
