Happiness Is--Being True To Yourself


No hiding behind a "public mask".

The blog world involves lots of public/private deception.   Here, we can be who we wish we were instead of who we actually are.  I know that sentence structure is incorrect.

I am an introvert who likes people.  Go figure.  But on my own terms and not all the time. So the internet is something I like.  I was quite lonely before the internet was invented.

I have ONE more Jude Deveraux book to read.  The last of the 40 books she has written.  If I go into a depression after finishing that last book today (one a day--like vitamins), I have decided (after discussion with myself) to start over and read some of my favorite ones again.  And yes, I can read a 392 page book in one afternoon and evening.  I could also open the cupboards under the bookcases and read thru some of the many romances stored there--like emergency rations-- but when I do that I am usually depressed.  I also have a book on the computer I can read but not for as many hours.  Hard on my eyes.

I managed to stay on task yesterday and pot up my outdoor containers.  Now the plant wagon only has tomato and pepper plants in it.  Another cool and cloudy day here in Maine.  I have the lights on here in the house at noon.

I went up into the Attic a few minutes before starting this post--to look for tulle.  A gardening hint mentioned tulle being a good, light deer protection for container/edible plants.  I found the tulle and also found all the silk remnants I had though were lost.  I love how that happens.  Finding something you thought was lost by looking for something quite different.  The Attic.  One amazing/magical place.

I'd love to scrounge around in your attic, you make it sound like anything you want is up there, full of good stuff! We have nothing in our attic but a tv antenna and probably dead mice, mostly a crawl space.I have one dedicated sewing room and a bedroom for my stuff, which is really enough, as I'm not a keeper of things.

Did you get a book in the mail? Not Jude Devereaux, but a good one.
