Pondering #bettertogether

June 16th -  we had a picnic -  school/church in the church gardens, part of the Great Get Together for the Jo Cox Foundation. It was a lovely evening. We've had the picnic before, it was a good fit with the Great Get Together - bringing community together ... because it's true: we are always better together.
And that's where the pondering came in - I've wondered over the last two or three months, watching people not seeing that. Which in turn makes me look at how I think ... the pondering has made me decide to do more, and sometimes maybe say more. People are all out there fighting their own battles, getting done what needs to be done. Sometimes that's easier than other times. I try not to be judgemental - who knows why anyone is who they are, and there but for the grace ... if you look for the good in the people around you, you usually find it. Difference seems to be a problem for so many people - whether in a large-scale, political sense; or in an every day, at home, at work situation. I am no better or worse than anyone else, I'm just different - and if everyone was like me, it'd be a pretty boring life, with nothing new to learn. If we want the communities in our lives to function at their best, we need to encourage everyone - or they'll just stop - and everyone loses.
So, money where mouth is - stand up for people, get out there and do things, don't judge ... I shall find gaps in my gapless life ... because we really are better together.
There is more that unites us ...

Rejuvenation

Oh, I am on it! Got a plan. Movin' on up. Dealing ...


I am still so excited, I see possibilities, and a freedom to be...


However, we need to get going - a financial plan is needed - so far it goes - sell the contents of the house, welly up the tutoring, enjoy the time! Think this plan needs refining!


Supply is good, I enjoy it. Hoping I get enough, especially if I get to go back to where I am now. I like it there, so crossing my fingers... You have to look forward, and I'm seeing something worth having.


The plan, with a touch of refinement (you know I love a breakdown...):


* sell any extraneous stuff in the house - ebay, other sites, car boots ... twofold result  :-)


* make stuff


* sew stuff


* shop local - kind of emphasising this one again - we're going to need to soon.


The whole support your local economy was one of the things I meant the blog to push way back when - so, feeling rejuvenated, and intending to go with this.


We're all in this together, he said ... difference is, I believe it ...
