April Intentions

My intentions:

Awareness days through the month : Autism, Day of Pink, Wear a star day, Earth Day, & Pay it forward

Adventures are in the plans including a few things for my Photo-A-Day and movement goals

Also adventure wise I'll be working from a list of prompts to design Woulf's adventure in a bit more broad strokes

As Appreciation of my life right now I will start the day with a smile on my face and a positive mind. The world has so many beautiful things waiting for me to discover.

Abundance wise I am looking into a walk with some garbage bags. During the walk I plan on cleaning up some messes along the railroad walking path between the tiny house village and Lansdown Road as my good deed for the month. Also during the walk I will be looking for some wild greens and great photo ops

Ambition wise I will be improving my AI IQ and finally getting a handle on Lightroom Classic, Stable diffusion and Photoshop. I have 12 books on my fiction reading list and another 12 Non-fiction books, I want to read them all but I'd be happy finishing even a quarter of them.

I have a list of daily prompts for Stable Diffusion. This is also Poetry month so I have decided that it's time I got back to that so there is a poetry challenge in my lists. I am challenging myself to journal everyday though rather that will happen remains to be seen.

I have a 30 day set of chair exercises so I can start slowly moving into the 175 lbs range

If you are interested in seeing all the lists you will find them at this Pinterest. I don't use Instagram for my images they will be found at Pinterest or at Deviant Art, mainly cause I make about about a dozen images a day and that seems excessive for Instagram. Deviant Art holds my collages which are what I make from all of the prompts from a single day sometimes.

Just realized as I was going through my pins that I am looking into making a spa day or two for myself and I really need a hair cut. Both of which I will have to add to my journal or else they won't get done

July 9th & 10th

I was on my way to see GD#3 in Aurora with my son when he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Everlovin' was planning on coming down to get me that night after work. I was a little worried because it meant he would be very tired after working all day and then driving the 2 hrs to get me and the 2 hrs back cause we needed to be at the airport at 9:30 or so. My son said that Aurora was pretty close to where Everlovin' lives near the border of Toronto and Markham so he could drop me off and save Everlovin from having to make the trip. It also meant I could worry less about his heart and the fatigue he would be feeling with the time change between Ontario and Alberta. So instead of spending the night traveling dinner was provided by my MIL and I got to sit out under the gazebo and see all the pretty flowers my BIL has grown. I need to say before I go any further that I had never been on a jet before, I'd ridden in a fixed wing so it wasn't totally strange. I was beyon

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet. Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.

July 12

Today we head to Calgary after E is done working. We packed up and checked out of the Sandman. I spent most of the day in a place called Cafe on 54. E joined me and grabbed himself a Reuban when he was done which he seem to like. I worked on the journal and drew a picture of Edmonton before we landed. Scan and add photo of art work. We had to wait for the network guy while he returned his car so we hung out at a nearby gas station though it was a bit more than that with a car wash and a convenience store. It was a long wait so I grabbed some junk food. I lost one of the things I bought but the 7 day croissant was pretty good. The network guy wanted to stop at a beach called Sylvan Beach on the way to Calgary. It was interesting, one of those lakes where you can walk out a long way before it starts to get above your knees. There was a camping area, a playground, and a small marina. I walked along the kelp-strewn beach looking for a stone or two, what I found were waterlogged wood
