1. An RV Christmas Tree. It is the first one in several years. Things are different, more magical, with a child on board.
2. This is the first time since the initial lock down the first of 2020 that I have lived close enough to a store that delivers or to any delivery service to have groceries delivered. I can truthfully say that I love having groceries brought to the door. That frees up a lot of time and limits risk. I could get spoiled.
3. I’ve been baking banana bread in my slow cooker. It’s easy and works well. My technique is improving with practice.
I hope you had great holiday. Wishing you all the best in 2021. I appreciate each of you. Your visits, likes, and comments help me feel meaningfuld. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. Vaxx Now

1. Kudos to Chase Visa. December 1, I purchased $100 of fuel at Speedway. The next morning there was a email from Chase regarding a charge they denied. It was an additional $150 charge at Speedway. Thank you for saving me money Chase. They are sending out a new card.
2. The child on board brought holiday joy when he arrived. It’s been a long time. It goes with my theme during this time of Covid ice-o-lation, “think different thoughts”. I needed this booster shot of joy.
It’s been a few years since the last Christmas tree
The sun is dropping below the tree line. A storm lurks in the distance.
I am grateful for a great day, good heath, and a pleasant companion. It is a positive vibes day.
Thank you for stopping in for a visit. Your visits lift my spirits. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. The sickness is spreading less rapidly here now. Peace, love, and joy.

1. Sometimes I wake up in a different universe. It isn’t a huge difference, just a slight shift in cosmic space, enough to notice.
I’m still at my 300 sq feet ish WHQ. The Jeep is still outside. Oddly, the can opener is gone. I always keep it in the same kitchen drawer, second one down. There are only four small drawers. I have looked everywhere in my rig. I mean 300 sq ft. I’ve checked it all several times. Doesn’t take long.
I ordered a new can opener Saturday.
2. On becoming nobody. Maybe I should check on my friends Maybe they should check on me. The plague weighs heavy on my heart. 45 weighs heavy on my heart. He offends my spirit. The joy of the dance eludes me the majority of the time. What do I do? Meditate. Go within. It’s just thoughts. There will be new ones. There are always new ones. Enjoy the view. There is nothing else to do.
Just a concept

Day 50 The view out my bedroom window Day 51 One of my daily rituals is to draw and write in my junk journal.Day 52 It’s been a while. Guinness has been difficult for me to obtain during the lockdown. Day 53 I didn’t make sunrise but the water was warm and the air was cool. Mother played misty for me. Day 54 With all the protesting and rioting going on in America it was nice to discover this heart during my walk this morning. A big “I love you” from Mother. Day 55Day 56
Thanks 😊 so much for stopping by and interacting. You bring joy to my heart. I love you.

When you are lazy, it is a negative taste: you simply feel that you have no energy, you simply feel dull; you simply feel sleepy, you simply feel dead. When you are in a state of non-doing then you are full of energy–it is a very positive taste. You have full energy, overflowing. You are radiant, bubbling, vibrating, You are not sleepy, you are perfectly aware. You are not dead–you are tremendously alive….There is a possibility the mind can deceive you: it can rationalize laziness as non-doing. It can say, ″I have become a Zen master,″ or, ″I believe in Tao″–but you are not deceiving anybody else. You will be deceiving only yourself. So be alert.

The comment
This gentleman clearly thinks he′s got it made. He sits in his big over-stuffed chair, wearing his sunglasses, shaded by his umbrella, with his pink slippers and his pina colada in his hand. He doesn′t have the energy to get up and do anything because he thinks he′s done it already. He hasn′t yet turned to see the mirror cracking around him on his right, a sure sign that the place he thinks he′s finally arrived at is about to shatter and dissolve before his very eyes. The message this card brings is that this poolside resort is not your final destination. The journey isn′t over yet, as that white bird flying into the vastness of the sky is trying to show. Your complacency might have arisen from a real sense of achievement, but now it′s time to move on. No matter how fuzzy the slippers, how tasty the pina colada, there are skies upon skies still waiting to be explored.
My take away?
I’m not done with this incarnation. There are more adventures ahead. Don’t be laying about on my cushions. Wake up. Get up. Get dressed. Get going. Life is short and there is still much to do and feel.
As I consider this holiday season I know I will never pass this way again: these lights, this tree, these tasty treats, this combination of people, and all the rest will never be the same. These children will grow. We all will age. I will celebrate the existence of these unique moments. I will open my heart, my ears, my eyes, and my mind.
I will remember those who are no longer present in body and I will know they are present in spirit. I see them in the ornaments, the lights, and the treats. I hear them in the laughter of the children. I feel them in the love and traditions.
I am present in this festive dance. I am one with these moments. I can never pass this way again.

In loving memory of Ram Dass my mantra for today is “I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness.”
The kaluha turned out tasty. After it ages it should be better.
Scene 2:
Deep in the jungles of Papua New Guinea and Madagascar grows the perfect ingredient for an extraordinaryPorterbrewed in Colorado. Breckenridge Brewery’sVanilla Porter. An ale that has all the chocolate and roasted nut flavor of a classicPorter, with an enigmatic surprise thrown in for good measure.
