Five Simple Things (June 30)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This honeybee.

Honeybees are always welcome in my garden. I love watching them work so hard to put on their pollen pants for their hive. Such hard workers and they respect each other, and they even respect other pollinators that are busy working near them, too. I just love them so much.

2. This view.

I love photography, but what I love to see more is Jeff or Skylar taking pictures of something. I have taught them a lot about photography and have gotten them to love taking pictures just as much as me. It warms my heart that I passed on a passion to them, as well.

3. This message.

This message was written on the sidewalk in Corvallis near the river. Hear! Hear! My friend. Hear! Hear! Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works.

4. This crow.

Clearly this crow is a hot Cheeto fan. Crows are scavengers, so anything to them is a buffet. Honestly though, this crow ate a couple of these and then flew off. Even animals are tired of Monsanto crap being in our food system. Remember, make better food choices for yourself, animals, and out planet.

5. This car.

One more thing:

Did you know this? Surfers taught up years ago and we have been using it a lot lately. Sometimes you're out surfing and it is so easy to lose track of time. The only time we actually stop is when we notice the sun is going down and other surfers start shuffling out. This time-telling method with your hands comes in handy a lot.

Positive affirmations this week:

Do what makes you the happiest. Don't let other people try to take away your happiness, because they haven't found their own. Listen to your supporters, not your critics. You can do this! 🌈
