Ditz,
Nature or Nurture. Maybe one can learn to be a touch ditsy too. I find
now that I have blocks of time with no one to really answer to,
re-learning to just enjoy the day. Early morning is when I most enjoy
playing on the internet. Chores and/or marketing in morning hours.
Afternoon is the most enjoyable for beading. The light in the dinning
room is just wonderful. Evenings, crochet as I sit with hubby and his
tv programs. It's just I've finding I don't have to always pick up
after hubby. Dinner dishes can sit and soak in the rubber pan. Grey
water can be thrown on the lawn. Just a touch of dish soap and water
with rinsed dishes-wonderful for those "bare spots" that happen on the
lawn. LOLMostly what I am doing is trying to reschedule me! I need to learn to be "an artist" whenever. Strange huh?
My poor neighbor. She has a "hyper" child. More like "to many mommies". the child is only 4, but he is having to relearn who the real mommie is. I will truly say that NO Abuse is going on. the child is really having temper tantrums. I say prayers that the child catches on quickly. And I pray the child's mother gets some rest.
Decorated my porch for the 4th. Enjoy the photos.
First, let me send my most heartfelt prayers to those families who's
celebrities are now on the path to their next life. And prayers to
anyone else who lost a loved one 
But, I will say that Farrah Faucet kind of got a raw deal. And she was battling a deadly disease. I'm not so sure that MJ should have trusted those closest around him quite so much. But what do I know.
So, did you notice the "D.A.M. News and reviews" up top. Well, those
are my initials. I pass along news going on here and I give my own
viewpoints.
I've been really faithful about taking the meds. And I do find I am
enjoying things I haven't in quite a few years. Playing with a child at
the shoreline. You know running back and forth as the waves come in and
go out. I felt so good. All those wonderful memories flooded in of my
own kids as they enjoyed playing silly games with Mom.
Wishing that my daughter had visited longer. She was correct in saying
I'm different.. Was like getting a new mom. Things went that well.
Realizing that doing my beadwork/crochet is an "art". Plus, finding
that wonderful ideas for necklaces have been creeping into my head.
Life is better now. My flowers look wonderful. Inside my home is comfy,
and decorated well. I still have some frames to get, but wait for the
sales at places. LOL Yes, I can be that patient.
Also, I do get out more than I was. Finally getting some PT and pain
meds, have got me planning my summer day trips. Yea!!!!!!!!! Laguna
Beach art shows andThe OC Fair.
It was cool and cloudy here this am til noonish. So, if you are going to any of our beaches, bring a light wrap of some sorts.
After a tad over of a year of therapy for clinical depression, I am a lot closer to who and what I am. I was so angry after my Mother passed, even my husband would call me "Bad Deborah". The meds help too, but the talking with Therese has opened up several "dark" areas. Mostly it was about being alone. Most of my survival skills come from childhood. What memories I have being alone was a biggy. I was a latch-key kids. Come home for lunch, make it myself, call my mother at work, then go back to school. Now, mind you this was grade school. I remember Mother telling me she would get me up, dressed, fed, and then she would lay me back down on the couch with the alarm clock to go off when I was suppose to go to school. A lot of my survival skills came from a violent father. I had a rich "fantasy" life then as I keep the really scary and bad stuff behind really thick mental walls. Not ready to look at those yet. I do have a serious problem with trust. That is why I do shy away from people.
I enjoy doing my gardens, beadwork and crochet. Those really help me to "stay on track"-mentally. I am not good with crowds, or social functions ether. I just never know how to act or do that small talk stuff. And with talking I now can see that I can work on my beadwork or crochet without feeling like I should be doing houework or chores first. It is difficult to realize I am an artist/craftsperson.
As far as letting people help me, that is what we are working on now . . .
I'm going to start work on a new Tapestry crochet purse, pattern from Carol Ventura. Titled, "Right Way Market bag".

What little things do you do every day to take care of our planet?
Sponsored by One Million Acts of Green brought to you by Cisco.
I keep a bucket in the shower to catch the cold water before it gets hot. All vegetable waste gets dug into my flower beds. Plus we keep the helpful birds and insects healthy, so that they help keep our yard and plants healthy. No spraying here!!!
I've just been so busy with physical therapy. 3 days in the pool and 2 days at the clinic. It's been interesting to get used to the schedule.
