Hello my friends!
It is good to be back to blogging.
I took a little break.
Nothing dramatic, just needed a break
from social media.
Actually, I needed a break from life
in general. But somehow
that rarely happens,
The clock keeps ticking, the days weeks
months and soon years keep on going.
Just a short break is all I needed.
In this time of Covid-19, Protests, Unsettled lives
and all manner of unbelievable things that are happening
It is good to take a break, deep breath,
look up. . . and let silence fill your mind.
It is good and refreshing to be outside and
Just Sit!
Ya that is what I said, Just Sit!
Since I moved to my Apt. 157
I don't have a yard, not even a tiny yard.
I have a Patio. . . and I love it.
I like nothing more than to go outside
and sit on my patio.
I come from a long line of Sitters.
Porch Sitters, Yard Sitters
Outdoor Sitters, etc.
But since I don't have a Porch or a Yard
I am what I call a Patio Sitter.
I like sitting outside on my patio
and just listen....
I like the fresh air, the sounds of my little
spot of earth. I like the sound of children's laughter
The voices of my neighbors and friends.
I have the rail road tracks close by and I
like the sound of the trains. The sounds of nature
soothes my soul. The sound of silence. . ..
allows my mind to wander. . . to ponder
or just to let peace fill my mind.
Some of my fondest childhood memories are
sitting under my great-grandpa Pickering's
big shade tree. Family would gather under
that tree and just sit and visit.
Sometimes it would just be me and my great-grandpa,
and sometimes it would just be me,
Yip, I am a sitter, I am a Patio Sitter
I hope I can always enjoy
just sitting outside enjoying my
little spot of this beautiful earth.

Karie,
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet little patio!! So glad that you have one!! That is the one thing that my son realized after living at our house for the past 2 1/2 months....He loved sitting out on both the front porch and patio, watching the birds...Of course, he does so because he smokes but he now wishes his apartment had a little patio or a balcony as his is on the second floor. I enjoy my front porch in the afternoon when it is shady and the back patio in the early morning and in the evening....Glad to see you are back, my friend!! Missed you!!
Hugs,
Deb
Karie, hello. Enjoy your blog and seeing what you've done to your cute place. And the patio! So colorful. I too like to just "sit", mostly on our screened porch. We live in an old farmhouse in the country.and by 4:00 p.m. we are chased inside because of the killer Michigan skeeters. I too love to just "be", like you said to listen to everything that is living and flying, chirping, and yes, we have RR tracks close by. I love the sound of the train as well. Thank you for a very sweet visit.
