Pay Attention

A quote by comedian and musician <n>Reggie Watts</n>.

October 18, 2024



Currently, paying attention to



**Wondering** about the "state of the union" during this contentious election year

**Listening** to Dolly, Linda, and Emmie Lou and their amazing harmony together

**Reading** more poetry, Rumi, Merton, and a whole host of books

**Eatimg** homemade breads, chocolate, and Three Muakateer candies

**Seeing** the leaves turn from gree to orange

**Watching** the History and Discovery Channels, Sherlock Holmes, and Murdoch

**Believing** in the goodness of human beings

**Savoring** moments with Sully and seeing how he is is growning and learning, and maturing as a three-year-old

**Singing** along with Dolly, Linda, and Emmie Lou; singing some old favorite hymns

**Gathering** ideas and materials for projects, mainly yarn projects

**Creating** some cozy blankets and drapy shawls and stories in my head

**Making** bread and biscuits from scratch and soup in the InstaPot

**Savoring** the cooler fall weather when it's long-sleeve weather and I don't need a coat outside

**Loving** being retired, my family and friends, and this different stage of life
