August Break - 2019 - Number - Picnic - My Hands

Catching up today with #Augustbreak2019 because I've missed a couple of posts.

August 16:  Number

I've been doing the August Break for a few years now and I have this page from 2015.  I wrote that my favorite numbers are 3 and 5. 




While doing the research for that, I was curious so I looked at some numbers in relation to my blog.  Interestingly, although I use Blogger to write my posts because that's the platform I started with, I am able to simulcast it on WordPress thanks to John at The Sound of One Hand Typing who introduced me to IFTTT.  On my Blogger site I have 25 followers and 694 total posts.  On my WordPress site I have 164 followers and 941 posts.  I am not sure how I have more posts on WordPress but I wonder if I should just learn how to use that and give up my Blogger?  Something to ponder.  I also see that some of the pictures from 2015 are no longer showing on my Blogger but they are on WordPress.  What's up with that?

August 17:  Picnic

I don't go on many picnics but I have this cute mini-album in the shape of a picnic basket for sale in my Etsy shop in case you want to use it for some pictures of picnics that you have had :).

August 18:  My hands

I use my hands all the time since typing is what I do for a living.  A few years ago I had an interesting occurrence with my wedding rings.  I am still not quite sure how it happened but they got warped while on my hand and yet nothing was wrong with my finger. 
























I had the rings repaired but didn't like the way the anniversary band came out so we got a ring enhancer to go around the wedding bands instead.

A couple of weeks ago I was walking Benny and we had a run in with a mean cat.  When I went down to pick up Benny so the cat couldn't get at him my hand got in the way. 

























It looks worse than it is and it is all better now but I was surprised at how black and blue it got.  There were two claw puncture marks as well.  The cat was just as big as Benny and pretty strong.  Benny growls as we pass by the house now! 

Now I'm all caught up and can start fresh tomorrow.  Thanks for following along.

August Break - 2019 - Intention

Missed a post yesterday because I was trying to come up with something for intention and it took a while.  Finally got it but by the time I did it was too late to write.  Ah well, life you know? 

I have talked about how much I love the beach and yesterday our daughter and I went to watch the sunset.


I just love the way the waves crash and roll.  




Even went down and got my feet wet.  




As the waves went back into the ocean and the sand moved under my feet I felt the stress and tension inside me move out as well.  Also felt wet on my butt because it was a pretty good wave!  

It is my INTENTION to make this a more regular occurrence.  It only took about 15 minutes to get to this pretty spot and there is no reason I can't start doing that more often, especially knowing the way it makes me feel.  Maybe even again today - it is Friday after all.

Love the beach?  Like getting your feet in the waves?
