I can't even imagine what fireflies look like.
I pondered today how sometimes, even now, my brain can easily play old "sound recordings" that must be an echo from my drinking days. Never give up questioning EVERY negative message your brain tells you, I reckon.
I've put two and two together that even now, my brain will feed me thoughts that will lead to anxiety, when logically there's no need for anxiety. There's zero cause for anxiety, but my brain is telling me that there is.
A few things workwise, I was super super anxious about, but the reality was, they were easily produced and took less than an hour of my time. I've noticed this a bit, to default to anxiety when there's no need to. Also things in my personal life, I can see how my brain was tricked into a certain way of thinking, in order to let the AV knock on my door back in the day.
So many wow moments. I'm very lucky to be able to observe them, be honest about what's really happening and see ways I can improve myself.

Just a quick hello Julyers.
I haven't seen fireflies either.
Leshar. I don't know if it would help you but sometimes I write down what I've got to do or I tend to become overwhelmed and it becomes all out of proportion. xx

This YT video pretty much covers it Crois.
They're kind of hard to video. Maybe I'll try tonight.

Bob, thanks for that beautiful fireflies video. I too have also never see them before. Xx
Gilmer,I'm so proud of you for making Anzac bickies. They are mine and Shaun's favourite biscuit xx
Back to sleep for me. I'm so sick with this cold, that has either morphed into a chest infection or some friggen hideous virus. Ugh

Hello gang.
Figured I would stop in and read some post.
Hope you feel better Wendy.
I'm just sitting in my screen house hoping to see some hummingbirds. I just changed out the nectar solution and cleaned them up.
Just starting to get nice and shady here in the back yard.

I have several around the yard.
I guess the flowers are edible although I never tried one.
The native Americans had many uses for the Yucca plant.
The root is edible and the leaves make strong cordage/rope.
