What Kind of Vibes

Two Sundays ago, I did a sound meditation for my yoga trainer's current group of yoga teacher trainees. It felt good to be back in a yoga studio and it also felt good to play my bowls for other people. I was nervous because I hadn't done a sound meditation in a while but when four people fell asleep, I relaxed.  

Two days after the sound meditation, got a message from another studio that I used to go to. The person who was scheduled to do a sound bath on Wednesday had a death in the family so I filled in. 

Speaking of yoga studios, I got emails from two that I used to go to updating people on the most recent mask mandate; Missouri -- making the news for less than stellar reasons again... 

Saw someone post a photo with the hashtag of vacation vibes which made me wonder about what kind of vibes I was having at the moment...

As I left out of the house yesterday, my neighbor apologized for how something looked at the border of our property lines. He also noticed that the crepe myrtle in my yard had been invaded by another tree and asked if it was okay to cut the other tree out.

Okay? Thank you neighbor for making my day...

Someone that I know posted a picture and I asked her where she was at and she said Morocco and then she showed me more pictures and it looks absolutely lovely. 

She told me that I should come with her next time. Don't think that I'll be having any #VacationVibes soon but her invitation was sweet...

In flower news, more zinnias are blooming and my sunflowers are about to bloom. 

Not Sure

My zinnias that survived the big hack are blooming and the ones that were hacked have regenerated but I'm not sure if they will bloom again. 

The abandoned zinnias are also about to bloom. Didn't provide them with any additional support and, somehow, they made it. Keep in mind that I lost a cactus before...

One of the abandoned ones...

Found out last Friday that one of my former colleagues died. Hadn't seen her in a long time and was sad to hear the news. At some point, realized that I had a doodle that my colleague had given me and I want to give it to her sister. Kept trying to remember if I had possibly thrown it away and, if not, where could it be since my environment is very cluttered right now. It is a sort of organized chaos but chaos nevertheless. I looked around in places where I remembered it being and, low and behold, I found it in a black jewelry box where I was keeping photos and other mementos. It was such a relief to find it... My colleague also doodled something else for me but I'm pretty sure that I discarded that one. 

The doodle...

Saw these tweets earlier in the month and it's similar to how I feel -- kind of joyless.
