Today the weather is so nice. Took a long walk.

Homeschool is fun today. I am learning a lot as I go so I can teach at my best and my kids say they are learning way more compared to in regular public school.

Looking forward to hearing about Dolphin14’s new pet.

Grateful for my mushroom coffee today.

Grateful for everyone who comes into my life.

Starrlight in reply to redrabbitniner

Ooooh strength to change - I was just thinking about how I have the strength to change too!- my change is from normal toothpaste and mouthwash to making my own. You know unfiltered extra virgin coconut oil with peppermint essential oil is actually a better way to brush teeth with?

I sat outside and got into my book and soaked up some healing sunlight and enjoyed my flower garden instead. But went over to the farm to help out there and I groomed my horse. So I had plenty to do and that was satisfying.

I’m sending you a little snapshot of my flowers I enjoy so much. 🌻🌷🌼

Ha! Ok so I drink a powdered brand called RYZE it includes 6 different mushrooms which help with stamina, focus, stress relief, immune support, healthy digestion, anti-inflammation.

ThatTigerLily in reply to Starrlight

That sounds pretty cool, actually! Does it taste like mushrooms too? I think it is great you have something like that which you enjoy. πŸ˜€

Starrlight in reply to ThatTigerLily

It doesn’t taste like mushrooms which is weird right? It does taste different than regular coffees but I like it.

Hello. I’m so glad the home schooling thing is working out well so far!!! I bet you could be a school teacher in reality if that’s what you really wanted to do!!! My Mom has a teaching degree and she taught a 3rd grade class for a few years. Later on she became a substitute teacher for awhile because it’s a lot of work putting together the lesson plans. I think a big reason why me and my sisters all got our high school diplomas and we’ve all attended some college is because she and my Dad too instilled in us that getting an education is important. So what am I grateful for? The weather out side today where I live today is just perfect. Not too cold and not too hot. I can tell the Fall season is on it’s way. I like watching the leaves change colors.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to

Hi ya! Thank you ☺️ πŸ™

I’m having a panic attack atm I think it’s because I need to get to a shop and the car I need to use is not my fav to drive it doesn’t feel safe. But I’ll make it. So if I want to teach outside the house I need to get rid of these episodes where the outside world seems too overwhelming to function in it for long.

Thats a great thing to be grateful for. It’s perfect here too. Love it! Yes I took a walk today and noticed the notes of Autumn too I love the colors in the leaves.

How has your day been?

in reply to Starrlight

I’m doing pretty well so far. I applied for a different job and they might contact me next week. I’m hopeful. I’m trying to work on losing some weight. This pandemic and all the isolation has me a little too overweight. It doesn’t help that when I can’t sleep I tend to want to snack on stuff!!! So I’m trying to get some exercise in before Fall and then Winter sets in.

I am grateful for my new best friend who lives out of state. We have been friends for 18 years, now we are best friends. She is one of the few people who seems to enjoy my company as much as I enjoy hers. Not romantic at all, just close friends - she is like a sister I never had.

Grateful for being able to see the flaws in people and care about them anyway without expecting that I am going to change them. Now if I could learn to accept my own flaws I might be getting someplace. Seriously when I take a moment to experience the world around me, I am grateful. When I feel the sun on my face, a cool breeze when I least expect it, I feel grateful. Blue skies are beautiful but when I look into the vast blackness of the night sky with the tiny lights of stars, I--excuse me--am thankful to God. Then I am humbled by a grateful heart.

I am in awe of all you active people out there. And I am grateful that I am able to move quite a bit today, got my medication sorted out sensibly and am grateful that I am not falling asleep, so can get things done, even drive to the shop, though my partner has offered to do the shopping. I was planning to use it as a form of exercise but he enjoys shopping, while I shall sit in the car and read, or if I get my act together, I could take a parcel to the post office. I'm grateful that I have the laptop and that I didn't get too many emails today.

So nice on the moving around and meds sorted. It’s a beautiful new day. I’m also ready to get things done! Go us! ❀️

MaggieSylvie profile image
MaggieSylvie in reply to Starrlight

Go us indeed. On arrival home just now had some success on the loo! It's been twelve days! Sorry if that's too much information but a worrying time, and so painful with this extra compression fracture. Finished reading some poetry, that I have on loan, while in the car and slept for a bit. A really beautiful evening, even if the sun was dangerously low as I left Sainsbury's. I'll have to write down my plan for the meds as I have to leave a two-hour gap on either side of one of them to take other meds and that's twice a day. But as you say, Starrlight, Go us!❀️

What a beautiful boy! He's so tiny! Thanks for the lovely photo. I met the local hedgehog lady and she has given me a house, a real "des res" and straw. Can sleep up to 3 hoggies. I need to find a suitable place in the garden now. Enjoy your evening getting to know each other.

He is very small. I was surprised. Last time I was at the breeders I saw ones that were a bit bigger.

Would def love to see your hedgehog hotel lol when you find it a proper place

in reply to Dolphin14

hi yes will send pics. Our garden is prone to flooding so its been a bit difficult to find higher ground which is also sheltered and tucked away. Think Ive found a reasonable spot so Im building up a base of bricks and stones. Found a few spare slate tiles dossing about too to level off! Good thing our garden isnt pristine! Its a work in progress. How are you and Herman today?

Dolphin14 in reply to

You are very dedicated to nature and I know you will fix things up just right. Can't wait to see a picture.

Herman is doing well. We spent a lot of time together. I feel like he may know my voice. He seemed to respond to it. He didn't give me any spikes from his quills when I went to pick him up today. Lots of progress was made. My granddaughter was afraid of the quills but she got more comfortable as the day went on. I would say day one has been a success. β€οΈπŸ¦”

Hi got there in the end! Thank you! Little hotel looks very cosy, Can sleep up to 3 apparently. No room service though, they'll have to find their own slugs!

That is awesome! Well done my friend. Looks very welcoming. May get at least 4 in there depending on size. Some may not come if there is no room service. But I think it's wise to have a bring your own slug policy. Would love to see one going in or out. That is so adorable.

Here's my man yesterday

in reply to Dolphin14

Adorable! Awww you must be having a lovely time bonding together! What is his bedding? I was told by local hedgehog lady that I could put leaves in as long as they were dry...sorry but couldnt face hanging them all on the washing line! She has 4 now in her garden. She found 1 behind a water butt where leaves had blown and collected. She said they gather their own leaves to make a nest. Ill train up 'mine" to change their own bedding haha!

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply to

You are so funny. I did not realize you were such an amazing business woman and disciplinarian.

The bedding is like shredded paper. I'm thinking when the leaves start falling I will bring some inside for him. Skip the line dry and use the microwave haha.

Keep me posted :) :)

Hello Starrlight,

Such a great idea !

Had lunch with a friend and his wife at a great cafeteria we both enjoy. THen we went to a vintage exhibition no far from here, where my wife and I could spend some times. We also moved (a few steps away) along the sea where racing boats were all back from a race. Always impressive.

I enjoy my cofee this morning, and just want to take my time having it.

Today's gonna be an other extraordinary day, I am sure of it. The sky is autumny and the birds are still singing !

Goooooooood morning website,

Whether the weather's been pretty cold overnight (around 4Β°C), this morning is brilliant.

Nice weather and very good friends of mine will come home Wednesday lunch for a lunch, hopefully a bbq, weather weather depending.

This morning, driving my wife to the kinesiologist, then have an interview with a lady who wrote a book about "the power of no".

Afternoon will be spent writing down this itw then dinner prepapation.

And try to get a itw to a local celebrity about a boat race in november (la route du rhum).

I'll rest an other day!

Take care
