1. Jessica and I took walk on new trail in lovely setting, part of "Joshua's Trust" land preservation off Moose Meadow Road, Willington CT

2. My air conditioner in Ashford is working great, thank you very much, so I can stay cool in rising temperatures.

3. Jessica and I visited new store, feed and grain and garden (Agway) which just opened 3 weeks ago. Enjoyed the new owners and bought a dog leash to do my leg exercises!

1. Ginger, I am glad you are having a great day.
2. Since my earlier post I have gotten an e-mail from my niece who is in a workshop in Guatemala.I haven't heard from her for awhile either.
3. I don't like workshops and I am glad I am not at one.

1. I am up and moving around today on my own steam and truly grateful for that!
2. I am really struggling here but STILL determined to keep going and do the best that I can with what God has given me!
3. One of my dear friends, Kelly, called me today while on a long train trip. She is on her way to bury her dad who died earlier this week. But, she has a very positive attitude and we had a very nice, long talk while she was traveling!
4. Kelly's sister, Rhonda, another dear friend, is bringing over a delicious home cooked meal for me..chicken and ribs cooked on the grill. These two girls are wonderful cooks. Normally I am not too much into food but when they come through the door, my taste buds go nutsy!
5. After Dogdoc gave me some encouraging and wonderful advice yesterday, I think I have made the decision to become a momma again. I hope to soon be looking for another little baby girl kitty to bring into my home and love!
6. I am very grateful for all of those who have served in the armed forces who have been able to make it back home and pick up their lives again!

1. I'm happy to hear that Baby is considering getting another little kitty friend to love. But don't discriminate against the boys Baby! LOL - Boy kitties are very nice too.

2. It was a beautiful warm sunny day here.

3. That was perfect as I went and took pictures for a nice outdoor charity event for a cause that means a lot to me.

Sorry Jimmer,

It's going to be another little girl for me! Too many problems with the men folk Not you, of course.

You, Jimmer, are like a bright ray of sunshine! You just seem to go around lifting other's spirits and making them feel better!

Wow, I came her to post a small but significant positive, and now my first positive has to be:

1. That so many people--including BABY!--are here posting postives! I'll be eager to hear about your possible adoption, Baby!

2. Was feeling very tired and down today, but took a back road home and felt a significant energy rise and lightning of spirit as I watched a herd of young horses playing a game of tag across an open field. I seem to have a great need to connect with horses lately, I'm not sure why!

3. New friend Jessica introduced me to a new swimming hole, and although I was too tired tonight to take her up on her invitation, I hope to another day!

4. I had a nice note from Jill Tracey of Starting Over.

Thanks Beth,

1. I am trying to find the positives. I lost my way for a bit but I am seriously trying to find my way back. I am working very hard on that, I must say!
2. I will keep you, Beth, in my thoughts and prayers, hoping everything will be looking up for you soon!

1. According to the book Animal Speak "If a horse has shown up in your life it is time to examine aspects of travel and freedom within your life." "Horse brings with it new journeys."

Thanks DogDoc!
I keep thinking about taking horse back riding lessons, but that's not it really...I just really want to hang out with horses!!!

(If you look under my daily poll answer today, I finally settled on a farm where I would raise horses and stawberries, while setting up a healing center there!)

If horses mean travel and freedom and new journeys, probably appopriate that I changed my name here to Beth4Freedom. (PS I REALLY like the new name; hadn't realized what a difference it would make!)

1.Beth, a couple of us have decided to move to your spiritual healing center in the daily poll.
2. Here is a little bit more from the book "Take your totem and examine it in regard to yourself. What is its color? Its kind? How does it appear to you? Does it run? Is it always perceived standing? Do you see yourself riding it or watching it?" Beth, the horse doesn't have to be your totem to be giving you a message.
3. It is a beautiful day here today and I am going to go to a Memorial Day parade.

monday may 29, 2006

1. I got a walk at beautiful Fenton-Ruby Land trust before getting to work. I found a visitor's log that I hadn't seen before.

2. Jessica was a big help today. We set up the new bird feeder pole and bird feeder I had purchased to replace the ones taken away by my neighbor Dawn who is moving. Jessica earlier contributed a Birthday gift to me of bird seed!
It was harder to put in the ground than we thought, but with the aid of a wood wedge, we got it secure! And a brave chickadee came to visit even before we left!

3. I also found a just vacated storage unit on the first floor which I claimed and Jessica helped me sweep and clean.

And first entry for tuesday may 30, 2006:
1. A red Cardinal visited my new bird feeder today!

I hope I sized this properly!! After dogdoc and I had been discussing back and forth about horses, I did a double-take when I looked at my longtime screensaver....this thinking about horses is NOT a brand new thing!
PS When I picture horses they are either running or nuzzling my hand with their soft muzzle.

Horses....my screensaver for a long time!

(continuing from earlier post)
2. Thank goodness my ATTIC air conditioner is working, because the others aren't in yet and we're having a New England early summer heat wave! I'm funneling some of the cool air down with a fan.

3. Good meeting with Lili today; she's coming to my "event" next Monday to hear leading chronic clutter researcher Dr. Randy Frost. It's always best to learn from the best, so I'm delighted she's coming! (Trying to figure out other ways to let people know about this "treasure" happening in Connecticut; "marketing"...figuring out how to let people know about an event...is always a puzzle to me!)

Is it really JUNE already?

1. Julie phoned today from California, and apologized for her longish silence. Also said the "special" item she sent was a pewter cat pin.

2. BAM-BAM-BAM. Big slam bang thunderstorm, and although my power wavered, thank goodness we kept electricity here in West Hartford.

3. Maria looked lovely tonight; she had just been on a successful interview for job as teacher of Spanish in high school.

friday june 2, 2006
1. Got caught up on all bills, including paying one by phone so everything's "square" now til next month!

2. Nice conversation with geriatric social worker from Manchester, who is coming to the Dr. Frost special "hoarding" lecture Monday night.

oh my gosh, I am really behind: coming back here to center for a moment as I finish up prep work for guest lecturer tomorrow Monday evening...

saturday june 3, 2006
1. Nice long work session with Wendy: 3 and 1/2 hours. With her help, finished "claiming" my
new storage unit in building; already had padlock on, but moved in some boxes today. Managed to do so between rain drops. Also got new fan put together that's been waiting for weeks to get assembled. Plus returned suction cup bird feeder, got more bird seed, and duplicate key for storage unit. Good to get these odds and ends cleared up.

2. I miss my downstairs neighbors, but am enjoying the birds and am glad I went to the effort of putting in a replacement feeder. the birds seem to be glad too!

3. Got to see my Dad today; was worried re his driving in the rain, but he finally showed up safe and sound!

sunday may 4, 2006

1. Enjoyed the cooler temps and (almost) rainless day. I keep thinking we must be breaking rainfall records! Had both windows open, enjoying the fresh air.

2. Enjoyed my ice cream treat after returning to West Hartford.

3. Good support from Sara in making name tags and getting registration list in order.

....now back to work!

1. My treadmill broke and I exercised outdoors. It was great to be in the fresh air.
2. I walked/jogged through a cemetery and I found some Skoots' type inspirational material at some gravesites.
3. I can share the insights here.
A. "Remember yesterday, ponder tomorrow live today."
B. "Who you are is more important than what you can do."

1. I kissed my son this morning before he went off to school and he looked and said "bye bye mommy" Such a big boy!

2. I did a very advanced entire step aerobics class this morning and felt so proud.

3. I got a call from my son's new school about enrollment. (It's a good thing because they usually take forever!)

Yaaayyy, Baby! Will we get a snapshot soon?

Been very busy this week, but here are a few "best of" for the past few days:
Monday June 5th
1. VERY successful lecture on all counts: capacity crowd in audience, enthusiasstic and interactive, especially because dr. Frost brought lots of new information on hoarding.
New and old audience members mixed well, and I got volunteers for hosting Clutter Club at individual's homes as well as for hosting tag sale.

Tuesday May 6, 2006
recovery mode from big event
Did talk to John about getting copy of tape from him--and asst. sara did great job cutting back my all-too-invasive bittersweet vines in the yard.

Oh, forgot to mention, in the midst of workshop prep on Monday, snagged my neighbor's lawnmower person to do my yard too.

wed june 7
wonderful relaxed supper at Panderas (sp) with their hot french onion soup and hearty 1/2 sandwich with healthy tasty components.

Sara helped fix light overhead in bedroom: its now bright and cheerful again!

1. Two people complemented me on my hair cut today. (I just got it done this weekend).
2. The weather is beautiful.
3. I am enjoying being at TVCH. Hi everybody. (waving)
4. I am listening to Oklahoma right now and it always puts me in a good mood, which makes the dog happy.

Catching up since wednesday with a few positives for today:

1. Sara came with me to Ashford and helped carry stuff upstairs and get new "bargain" computer set up.

2. Took time for a 1/2 hour walk on Horse Barn Hill tonight (saw more cows than horses, but next time...I wonder if it's okay to give horses carrots?). Saw and heard a whole flock of redwing blackbirds...beautiful voices!
A neat surprise: they are no longer keeping herds of animals at the very top of the hill, and next time I will have to climb there, instead of just sticking to the roadway.
