Gentle posts for gentle folks

This past week, one of my accomplishments was that I learned how to tend and fill our birdfeeder that is close to the window.
Very nice and rewarding result is to see them come after that.

This morning..... the bright male cardinal and beautiful female, and chickadee, and nuthatches, and finches.
And oh, a downy woodpecker male.

Each one has its unique behaviors that are fascinating to watch.
 

Good morning, everyone! I hope Kaila doesn't pinch me for such a long post, but I want to share a poem in case someone needs it... it made a huge impact on me when I first saw it and hope it touches someone else in the same way. 🌹

If the mountain seems too big today
then climb a hill instead;
If morning brings you sadness
it’s okay to stay in bed.
If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,
There’s no shame in rearranging,
don’t make yourself feel worse.
If a shower stings like needles
and a bath feels like you’ll drown;
If you haven’t washed your hair for days,
don’t throw away your crown!
A day is not a lifetime.
A rest is not defeat.
Don’t think of it as failure,
Just a quiet, kind retreat.
It’s okay to take a moment
From an anxious, fractured mind.
The world will not stop turning
While you get realigned!
The mountain will still be there
When you want to try again
You can climb it in your own time,
Just love yourself till then.

Hello all,

Honestly I'm struggling to get through a few stressors at this point in time. Thanks for the caring and timely post @CallMeKate

And for every one of the other thoughtful posts. From each one of you.

Sorry to hear this.

I'd convinced myself you were somehow improving Kaila.....from what, I still don't know.

All I can do is wish you health, courage and acknowledgement that you are loved.
 
I didn't get to sleep till late last night, but after all, we changed the clocks ahead ...
🙃😉
Therefore it was not as late as the clocks said. 😊
And I did get some sleep after that!😴☺️

Good morning, to all of you here!

The sleep helps everything, and I managed a bath and a little self care I've needed.
I have an appointment with a new Dr for myself today. Never met her. I hope she'll be good!

I'm thinking of each one of you and hoping for something good and hopeful in your Tuesday, as well!💌💌💌💌💌
 
Good morning, Kaila and K-posse.

When looking for the right image to include in this post, I pondered the life of a forest. A forest thrives despite repeated assaults by floods, droughts, fires, high winds, and human pollution, because it's also nourished by the gentle rains, warm sunshine, cool evenings, and endless cycle of nutrients provided by nature's hand. It takes all in stride, staunchly renewing itself each season.

As it is for a forest, so can it be for us. Every day brings new possibilities. I hope your self care, restful sleep and new doctor bring a good day.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your long-time friend 🤗

How was your visit with the new doctor @Kaila ? I have a female doctor that I've been seeing for over 30 yrs. The o/h used to see her, but felt more comfortable seeing a male doctor. Daughter used to see her, but moved too far away.

Hope you have a lovely day with your hubby.

I sure hope so, too, Kate.

Wonderful picture, @Rossana

My new Dr is okay.... but her schedule is packed. 😐
She did have a couple good suggestions.

Will see (meet) her n.p., next visit.
I hope she'll be good.

I'm exhausted!
But I feel good that i accomplished getting to the appointment for myself, today.

This evening I filled the bird feeder. The fresh cool air felt good, and the nearly full moon in the dark blue clear sky... gorgeous.

Kate, you go to bed at 7 pm? Wow, I hope this is normal and not because you’re feeling poorly.

:giggle: No, I get off the computer and say goodnight to forum friends at 7. Then it's time for housework I didn't get to throughout the day and then read for as long as I possibly can before going to bed.
