Perseverance.

 G'morning.  

most challenging word:                 perseverance.

most all encompassing word:        perseverance.

most intimidating word:                perseverance.

I don't know ... I successfully persevere in creating obstacles.

                         I remember the day I lost interest in maintaining a clean house.

                         I was filling a glass with ice then water in front of the refrigerator.

                         I stepped out of the shorts I was wearing because the water splashed off the ice.

                         I left the shorts right there.  Right where I stepped out of them.  there.


                         I remember the day I lost interest in putting things away.

                         I returned home with groceries.  

                         I put the bags on the table.  the empty table.  the dining room table.

the milk in the fridge.  Check.  the potatoes & tomatoes on the platter.  Check.  the eggs in the basket on the counter.  Check.  three sticks of butter in the freezer to leave one on the island to reach room temperature before smoothing into the butter bell.  Check.  dog treats out of their reach in the cabinet.  Check. 
                
boxes of cereal?  No.  pasta?  No.  can of Texas Style Chili I believed I craved because the ingredients list was short and, as is the case with ingredients list, ordered with the ingredients I prefer FIRST?  No.

Where DID my interest lie?  not this blog ... obviously.

                         I enjoy baseball season very much.     No.

                         I enjoy music very much.                    No.

                         I enjoy reading.                                    No.

                         I enjoy exploring art for art's sake.      No.

The Front Garden!  dominates my thoughts, my prayer, my day ...

the USofA's desert southwest.  the USofA's 5th largest city

the USofA's most dramatic population growth.

This city ...  this State .... makes national & international news regularly because we are a city ... a State ... of MAVERICKS.
