The Blog Expedition

Reading blogs is often a boost of inspiration. To enhance the experience, I’ll pursue finding blogs in areas of interest. A weekly blog expedition will add blogs to a bookmark folder. 

In the weeks following, reading the favorites will sort the blogs to regularly read, and the others to visit sometimes. 

What’s interesting starting out to blog search is that in the year’s of my blog reading, my favorites don’t cover well my main interests. The majority are for needlework, sewing, crafts, and such. I read more about gardening and quilting than I do fine art, creative writing or geology. 

Fine Point. It is the people over content that are interesting! I will explore that idea further during my stepping back healing time.

Sewing— it’s not just a craft,

it’s therapy.

Stepping back

Once again, things get in the way of life going smoothly for me. On one side, I reached my limit dealing with a bully. On another side, sorrow appears. Not to leave much of a sliver for relief to shine through, adjusting to my injury fills in the rest. 

I usually take refuge here as blogging is a place away from most of the woes of life. I’m taking a step back for prayer and time to heal. I will post a weekly photograph and read blogs.

Enjoy your summer

After much needed sleep, I am feeling better. Yesterday was turmoil heavy. Today things are clearer. The theme for this week is: Better

Day 191 of Week 28 in July 2026

Peak summer time is the best part because it is hot, stormy, full of being outdoors and being summery.

I polished my right hand fingernails using two fingers sticking out of the wrist splint wrap. It was funny to do. The left hand nails look great polished nice with no chips, all the same length filed perfectly. They almost look fake. The right hand is shabby polish all worn and chipped. 

The other day I bought a treat, a mini pint of ice cream (at the same price of the old pint size container.) Calculating calories for that day, I mentally screamed when I saw 930 calories on the info. 😱 For about a cup of ice cream, that is outrageous. No more treats without checking the calories first. 

Day lilies are beautiful to see on the side of the road. However, allergy wise they are sneeze. city. Sinus stuffed, one’s balance can be off. I believe it is best to be on the summer slow setting. 

Have a Summery Weekend!

Cool Thoughts in July

The bluejay has an Ah vibe that brings on a feeling of cooler temperatures.

Meanwhile, enjoy summer!

Reflection Monday July 2026

Exploring ways to adjust a style of living is like browsing a hard copy catalog with all the choices only available online. 

The directional choices for consumers have flexibilities that are, I feel, uneasy to grasp. 

Why is something so good for the human mind as researching is, be taken away in the guise of helping mankind, by pushing AI? 

Technology is a constant tide flowing into our lives. There is no ebb.
