Tappin sources

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”

I’m starting to relearn the things I used to do to help take away stress. I’ve never been super amazing at anything… I have only been super OK at everything.

I’m not practicing for perfection right now just trying to reach that part of my mind that longed to try new things and be new things.

Step 1 ~ pick up something and just do it. Today = watercolor pencils and art reels.

Something old – – Something new

The farmers market is open and because I have more time on my hands I am going to experiment with some greens that I’ve never used before.

As I was purchasing the items, a very knowledgeable shopper at the farmers market helped explain the health benefits of some of the items I got.

Apparently a lot of what I chose were bitter/sweet greens which are super healthy.

Over winter kale, turnips, radishes, baby, bok choy, cilantro, a different type of bok choy, (which does not look like bok choy at all so it’ll be interesting), sour pickles, garlic, dill pickles, spicy, smoked beets, and a few different types of nuts, and some candles.

Preparing for some interesting experiments in my kitchen and home!!!!

Again.. they said I’d be bored. Still waiting.

Not I, Said I

You’re too young they said to me. You’ll be bored they said. You’re not gonna have enough money they said.

Not I, said I!

Day 2 –

Experience has taught us that material wants know no natural bounds, that they will expand without end unless we consciously restrain them. Capitalism rests precisely on this endless expansion of wants. That is why, for all its success, it remains so unloved. It has given us wealth beyond measure, but has taken away the chief benefit of wealth: the consciousness of having enough.
