Journey into the recesses of my mind

 I’ve been thinking…Oh Not again I hear you say 😂 

My new house🤩

It’s easy to see all the things we think we need to survive life better when there are vast gaps around us. And then I got to thinking about what my life would look like if I lived in a third world country in a rural setting. All this while talking a perfectly innocent shower 😂 

Pretty flash setup eh

Imagine getting up off a shared grass etc mat in the morning, no hot showers available, or even running hot water for that matter. I’d have to get up & get the breakfast on for the family from scratch & make preparation for the day as quickly & quietly as possible, before dawn most likely. 

There would be the same clothes every day, & I’d probably slept in them, a few tin dishes to wash in the river later while I washed myself, along with many others. No privacy, no tv, running water, soft bed, front door or carpeted floor. No separate rooms, just a straw broom & then go out & work to help support the family. If I was lucky I’d have a couple of meals of rice that day & would have had to walk a very long way in the heat & dust with flies everywhere.

No coffee…horrors 😱

Life is pretty sweet when I look at it like that. It’s a good reminder to be thankful for what I have. So easy to forget how the other half live eh.

Great day at the office

Today is vehicle cleaning & maintenance day, with some furniture arriving later, yay for matching comfy chairs 🤩 I’ll post a pic tomorrow. The plan was to start the costume for next month, but I’ve got to take advantage of the cold dry weather to get a little painting done, just a couple of touchups, then the for sale signs go on.
