A quick #75soft update for @AllDebooks
I‘m really enjoying this! I‘m (loosely) following the framework at https://www.theshabbycreekcottage.com/75soft.html as is - no intentions, no goals, just checking in with each point each day & recognising what I need.
So far, the meditation & journaling have been the real big deals for me - taking time to check in with myself, see how I‘m doing, & look at the things that need addressing.
Thank you ☺️
pickI loved this! I do wonder why I was completely fine with snow leopards, moose and pandas showing up at the same watering hole but when I got to kangeroos, I was like this is a bridge too far 🤣 where are we?
Loved finding all the frogs scattered across the pages - I found my little glasses wearing guy on most of them! 🐸
Continuing my Graham Base journey and I‘m 😍 with the frog in glasses on the very first page!
I colored this picture and wrote a story about it.
A mama horse and her baby colt or baby filly
Another horse is photobombing them by showing their ass
The other horse was told not to show their ass on picture day but they did it anyway
The other horse said,”It‘s picture day. I have to show my ass. I‘m not getting my picture taken but at least my ass will be in the picture.”

Here we go. Day 1 of Gina Luker's #75soft framework.
I've had a calm morning. I've set my intentions (sounds less stressful than goals, right?).
I really have been 'panic reading' over the last six months. I am tearing through book after book for a distraction. It's not helping. So, I'm going to slow my pace, choose books carefully around mood or curiosity, & read mindfully.
🤞 that works, cos my mind is frazzled rn.

pickBeautiful early/middle grade story from Sky‘s POV; with maps and historical context.

pickNominated for the Washington State children's choice picture book award 🇺🇲, this starts out silly. The super power has an element of surprise and I don't want to spoil it. Let's just say that this would be an excellent book to share when you need to prove that one small thing can make a huge difference. #WSCCPBA #bethechange
So many of you provided kind words of condolence on the loss of Kili, I lost track. Thank you all. It‘s one of the things I love about this community.
It was strange to get up this morning and not have a cat to feed. I bundled up his food and donated it to the county shelter, but I‘m keeping the treats. They‘re good for another year! When the time is right, I expect the CDS to do its thing.
I had to say goodbye to Kili this morning, and I‘m heartbroken. He was in respiratory distress around 5:00, and I hustled him to the emergency vet where things escalated quickly. Long story short, the tests uncovered two serious conditions with completely opposite treatments. In other words, treating one would worsen the other, and vice versa. So for the sake of his quality of life, we let him go. 😭💔🐈⬛
Here he is working from home.
