From Thinking Day to World Thinking Day ... although in our area we were always aware of the world of Guiding and Scouting. I am not sure if I still have my Guide handbook. This is how the mind diverts. I wonder if I still have that or this.
Day 22 and 23 ...
I have been enjoying the fruits of my labours, although immersed in all that is about me. I made time on the day I have remembered for as long as I became a Brownie, through and past the time of attending Guides it is still going strong. It has moved with the times.
I then adjusted my time table to face a bus journey later this week to visit my mum in law who had checks overnight in hospital recently. Today and tomorrow are busy markets here and in the town where she now resides in. I will see how I go.
Previous Days and Today ...
I have been busy baking some bread to acquire a more settled time, for the unsettling of life adjustments like these that trigger memories I rather not remember ... now ...
I keep quietly clearing, rather slowly at times to the refuse and recycle and the charity and put in use things I have been reunited with in the muddle of life that is now past ... The perpetual sort through of memories in a time of stillness in this once busy home is ongoing ...
I have found out and used from the other day when I first made bread, a loaf tin my Mum had sent up ... I have come across the things I was given to pamper myself in the rooms my family knew me for ... the lotions and potions and bits and bobs in getting me motivated to wash, cook, and craft ... a pattern book, card craft and much more ...
It was overwhelming these things at the time ... A home decor mood book ... DVDs ... so many things ... so thoughtful ... but what a quandary at that time ....
What I did adapt to and use from the outset were the ebooks, phones pads and pods, my sister passed on or gave as gifts to motivate me in the world that uses gadgets more and more ... I adapted from hard copies where I could and transformed my life through a world a lot of folks are still fathoming out too ...
It was such a help and kept my mind both occupied and frustrated. Over this sad time I have learnt to use everything from emails to blogging to more scribbling sketching and painting in new ways ... even though at times, I can still not be focused on the now ...
