Here's to the Day that Was...

Hard to believe I spent 20 years waking up at 4 am, without a CLUE that (hey!) Turns out I'm a night owl! That being said, we're Day 3 into this new year, and I'm determined to stick to my primary resolution of documenting something by way of my little life/farm day by way of this blog, so here goes... Today we all woke u[ to discover that while we were sleeping we somehow managed to go to war with Venezuela. And while 20 some odd years ago, my life's work centered on debating and discussing such oddities, today is not that time, and this is not that blog. It's Not that I don't have opinions; I do. But at this stage in my life I have accepted that a) the world has enough pundits, and b) sadly we've reached a point where voicing opinions can get you killed (or distanced, or _______ fill in the blank. You're no doubt living it too.) As an alternative, I find myself more and more reverting to that serenity prayer while filing most of what I see on TV under "things I cannot change" while asking God to give me enough wisdom to know the difference if that changes. Instead, I have opted to make each day's mission to find something/anything useful to take up the energy I otherwise would lose by fretting ("fretting" being a polite country word for "stressing to high heavens") over the sad, sad state of our planet right now. So to that end, (and in salute to this blog post sharing today's "drug of choice" come time to detach myself from television reports and social media clips, I give you... ("Ta-Dah!"...Drumroll please...) TODAY's creative venture, serving as my simple attempt at changing what things I can, which for today, meant starting a brand new farm project (this being additional fencing for the one too many critters I have managed to accumulate!) And since my latest bid for said fencing was upwards of $10-grand, I jumped off those political YouTube accounts, and ONTO some "DIY Fencing alternatives" which for now anyway, found me fancy-ing up some of those less than pretty T-posts, by way of a beautiful hue of purple paint, just in time for the planting of the lavender, which will soon accompany borders of said fencing! (Anymore, it's the little things I CAN do something about I shoot for these days. Some call it a cop out. Others call it wisdom. I'll let you decide :)
