Garden Mullein study.
So... I was mullin' stuff over yesterday (heehee) & realized I called my radish a beet... I didn't beet myself up over it, as a matter of fact I laughed out loud. I have beets on the brain, I like them as much as radish. I'm excited for this winters Mullein tea, I go out and pluck flowers and leaves & are drying them slowly. I've read now several times that mullein is good for pain and bronchial things- so this winter if & when someone gets stuffed up - I'll be making mullein tea. I found another mullein only a few feet away!
I was mulling a few things over as I often do while wandering in the garden or woods... when I speak about medicine or Dr.s, it's coming from someone who feels very fortunate to have had fantastic Dr.s... Dr.s who went above and beyond many times over, (still do) I know there are great Dr.s out there... unfortunately, it's the 'system' that need attention, starting with the government. Red tape & profit & FDA approved poisons have destroyed our 'do no harm' society & system. Awakening is bringing about the resurgence of Natural medicine. Thank God - for the plants and awakening.
When I wrote about my marriage advice, (don't do it) it's because I believe marriage for women, is not advantageous, not like it is for men. From everything to childcare, marriage misconceptions, control & the reality is men end up with more freedom and should things go south- chances are they still have a job to go to and not kids to look after. There are also few option for women to leave, places are not pet friendly', children have routines blah blah blah.. it's easier said than done. I have witnessed in my years MANY times when a divorce happens- men go about it, usually with a 'new younger' partner (why most marriages finally end) and they still have a comfortable level of life - even easier than before.. women usually end up with more responsibility, less money & have to raise the kids on her own - but that was usually the case anyway.
In our case time is a factor, too long. Arguing about the same things for 33 years is a waste of time and every time it happens now it brings up past issues and regrets - because we have 33 years of a 'past', (far from perfect) there's more than enough 'memories' to be triggered. One example is fighting about him taking his dirty work clothes off when he comes home... still. He absolutely ruined our last sofa with DIRT, ask him. Why am I still, FORCED to ask him -33 YEARS later: change out of your dirty work clothes?? Why? It's bullshit. He's just an antagonizing ass, too many times to mention. Norm can be (and is, sometimes) very helpful, he's not a womanizer or drinker, he is also a hard worker. His employers are very fortunate.. he never misses a day off work and can do just about anything, tries his best... one boss referred to him as his 'golden goose'. He can fix just about anything, ever. He built a complete shop in record time - by himself - so that's why Norm is still here. It's not about replacing anyone with someone.. it's about removing the bullshit that wears you down for 33 years. If he was screwing around or was sitting getting drunk every night - we would not be sharing the same space. Do I hate him? No, but I sure don't like him very much somedays & if I had to guess the feeling is mutual. Other days we seem to have no difficulty enjoying each others company. A friend told me a while back her marriage is one of convenience'... I guess mine is too. For now.
I think - maybe - don't get married until your 40. :)
Every day is about forgiveness, forgive or you will keep yourself in misery.. forgive so you can enjoy the gifts from God!
Like Radish & Mullein, dogs, sunshine, glass, mushrooms, pain, adventure... Enjoy this day the lord has made, it may be your last... you never know.
Below.. my painting is coming along.
