First Work Day of 2022

I have to admit, I feel a little uninspired today. It's snowy and cold outside and my wife and I made the mistake of staying up way too late. Then as soon as we fell asleep, our 2 year old began crying for no reason, waking up on 2 mo old... right before our 7 year old vomited all over her bed. I tended the two little ones while my wife handled the cleanup project.

This was all around 3:00 AM.

Somehow we managed to get up around 8:30, but it was a slow moving morning. It's Monday, vacation's over, get to work!

Uuuuunh.

Ok, But First Tend the Garden

We have an indoor mini-hydroponic herb garden in our kitchen, perfect for picking fresh basil or thyme or dill. It requires very little maintenance, just a refill of water occasionally and some "plant food", otherwise it's completely automated.

A little crowded, maybe needs some pruning.

Glad to have some extra thyme!

I didn't know that basil had flowers, they're quite pretty!

Domestic Life

I hope your work week is going well, that you are healthy and people you know are healthy. Let food be your medicine and eat your greens!

Use fresh herbs in your food for good health! If you can grow them indoors, it's a quick and easy way to incorporate fresh greens into your diet all year round.

Here is to a healthy and prosperous 2022!

Noooo! We also had a wakeup-to-throw up night! What's going on
Great hydroponics! You just need to add fish to make it aquaponics. My brother had a small fishtank with the plants on top. Love the idea for kids.

Seems like more illnesses are going around now than ever before. I have a theory about the decrease in health these past few years, but it's not mandatory that anyone believe it. If they would poke around the subject, they may discover more evidence of what's really going on.

What is really going on is that the enemy is pulling out all the stops. And using a big weapon. F.E.A.R which causes people to be good little citizens and not question anything. We just read a quote of CS Lewis written in the 40's and it is astounding how it reads like today's news

We live in interesting times. Part of me wants boring normal times, the other part of me is excited about what God is doing in these days, even during all the wickedness.

Most of us want normal. But what is normal? I think if we grasped what is on the "other side" and what HE has always intended for us we will realize we never had normal. It is like birth pains. Shift focus. Yes. The birth pains are intense but unavoidable. But the purpose is Life! Joy. Perfection. Looking at your children how often do you see the birth? Or just that wonderful, unique Blessing from the Most High

Thank you, that is very encouraging! It's been a challenge to try to see situations from the perspective of our Heavenly Father. I don't think we can see completely from his point of view, but the little glimpses we do get are marvelous and wonderful.

Aquaponics is a fascinating idea, but I haven't seen a successful one yet. I suppose I could throw a few goldfish in the tank... eh maybe not.
