The beginning of these posts was my My Life Just Hit a Brick Wall at High Velocity, on the Cusp of My 50th Birthday: Mid Life Crisis 101 post. I link that post because I want to give my readers some useful context for what I write in these posts.
Warm greetings all! 🙏 💚
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I'm kind of funny with Christmas. If others around me are celebrating, I'll often join them. If nobody is celebrating, then I just go about my day in the usual way. There was a tiny bit of Christmas stuff going on in Tutu's in the morning for some of the kids, with a small decorated Cook Island Pine in a pot and a few gifts. I was in the process of blending my superfood fire coffee with the VitaMix, so I didn't join. It was also mostly just for the kids. Other than that, you never would have suspected that it was Christmas day here.
I did my usual thing up at the Flow House, enjoying my superfood fire coffee while doing my Hive tasks. I was well caught up, so I had more relaxed free time again. My Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: Success from Failure post flowed really quickly and easily. I definitely seem to have come to a new place with these posts, as them flowing quite quickly and easefully has become the norm, which I totally love, of course!
I kept doing my Hive thing until about 2:45PM, at which point I went to do some work in the fenced garden for a couple hours. I did lots more weeding and clearing with my machete, and today I also planted about half a flat of mild-hot pepper plants, one Hawaiian hot pepper plant, an Italian sweet basil plant, and I replanted some collards. I've spent two days this week in the garden getting it back to a good, usable state, and I've gotten quite a lot done so far. I'm going to keep going until I have the entire fenced-in garden area completely weeded and reconfigured a bit. I want every single bit of space there to be useful and productive.
After finishing in the garden for the day, I put all the tools away and took a shower, then did some bodywork on Ano for about an hour. I usually work with women, but I'll do some focused work on men if they ask. Ano asks quite a bit, especially after climbing coconut palms during cocoing on Fridays.
Today was an unusual day around food, as usually I don't eat anything after my superfood fire coffee until I make myself something in the early evening. Today I had a bowl of turkey soup that Melekai had made, which kept me full for hours, so I wasn't hungry around the time that I usually make something to eat. I'm finally hungry now, but I don't have sufficient motivation to make myself any food this late. I'll just enjoy my quart jar of chilled and blended kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao. My body loves that.
OK my dear Hive friends, I'm going to take my leave now to go tie up my last tasks on Hive, then get myself to bed! I deeply appreciate you all, and I'm so grateful to be here among you all in this glorious Hive Blockchain Ecosystem! Until tomorrow! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
