CHOOSE AGAIN! - SundayPurple with @kalemandra

in sundaypurple •  7 years ago 

EVERY DAY IS A DAY TO CHOOSE!



Lately I've been spending 14-18 hours a day inside on my computer
while taking only an occasional break to stretch and move my body.
Since it's been raining for days on end, it's been the perfect use of my time,
cuddled up with a blanket on my yoga ball as my chair,
enjoying a cup of hot tea or a hot and creamy cup of coffee,
Steeming with my besties @quinneaker and @saramiller,
and communing with you!

Being on the computer so much is really not my ideal,
as I feel it is hard on my eyes, my hips and my back,
and limits my range of motion and exposure to the natural elements.

But, I am grateful that my everyday does not HAVE TO consist of
working a job inside behind a computer.
I did that in my younger years,
and feel blessed that is no longer my reality.



Whether I am inside or outside,   
helping to run the community,
gardening, computering,
creating artisan vinegars, kombucha or jun,
playing with the children,
making a badass meal,
upgrading our home with handmade designs,
capturing our life in pictures...
or many of the other things I do on a regular basis,
I am blessed to be CHOOSING it.

Pretty much from the moment my feet hit the floor in the morning
to the moment they get into my bed at night,
I am dedicated to being an integral part of this cutting-edge
community at the @gardenofeden
because I CHOOSE to help further this revolutionary cause.



Today I chose to play outside all day.
It was like giving myself an extra special gift.
Not only was the sun shining--FINALLY-- and the birds singing,
but the grass was growing and the children were outside playing too.

I got in my 10 hours of sunlight and physical movement.
I played with the kids, completed several projects, and took some beautiful photos.


I hope your day was of your choosing.
And that tomorrow you will
CHOOSE AGAIN!

Beautiful. The colors look stunning.

Thanks @steemshiro.

You are most welcome

Such gorgeous purples! And I'm totally feeling you on the subject of computer time, Shellie! I absolutely LOVE working on my photos and art on the computer, and uploading them and posting stories and...my eyes really do NOT like it! I keep taking breaks and making sure to spend time outdoors and...still, my eyes don't like it :/ I think I need to choose to have a personal assistant with 20 year old eyes! 😁 xx

When I was in my 20s I spent a large portion of time at work on computers. I ended up straining my eyes so much I needed glasses. As soon as I quit my job, my eyes recovered. Though I am experiencing a lot of strain again, attempting to use different sized screens, and of course taking breaks and all that, but as you say, "still, my eyes don't like it". Im' sure I will find balance, if only to take some time away and sit in meditation for an extended period of time. All things have their time, with so many blessings along the way.

I totally agree, Shellie - nature (life) is always working towards balance. We need only look to her for guidance (to our own true nature and the life which infuses and informs us) and we will be lead back again to that which serves us best. Everything is a learning tool, looked at correctly. Even the things which cause us pain; and sometimes, those things most of all...Sending you much love, Jay x

OMG Jay!! Isn't that the truth! All things are a matter of perspective. What we do with that is up to us! Loved your comments in this thread. Thanks for being here.

Nothing is better than the opportunity to decide one life. Steemit is giving me that opportunity too as I don't need to run here and there before I can meet my ends meet again. You are too amazing

It's rewarding to see people taking their role in this community seriously and giving back even more than they receive. Steemit is, can and will be an answer for a lot of us and we can have an amazing experience here. And just look at this profoundly connected community we are building all over the world. We're doing it!!!! TOGETHER!! <3

That's the most amazing things about steemit, can you imagine a Nigerian like me having friends all around the world.

I can imagine it---I can feel it!!

Hahahaha... I'm living in it reality as well.

Divine alignment!

amaizing colors giving pleasre to eyes, you r really working very hard, i salute you for all the efforts, hope to see more from you

You will likely be seeing much. more from me @fedismaoui. I have a lot to share and am dedicated to making Steemit an incredible community of support and love.

There won't be crisis this week, my schedule is already full; my choice. That picture is beautiful.

Choosing consciously! Wise choice! Glad you like the photo--nature is really a beauty!

I've always loved nature, totally. Thank you beautiful heart.

@everlove you are Always Proved Yourself a Good Photographer A good Content Writer And also A Great Author... Nice CliCks Always Stay Happy Wish You all The Best 😊 resteem it.

Thank you @shan89900. I appreciate your appreciation and your taking the time to comment.

you,r work always speak itself @everlove so please don,t say thank you you deserve Great comments on your Contents..keep posting M always here for you

Grateful for the blessing!

It's stifling to keep the gratitude inside!!! Blessed to share with you @shan78900.

Very well written @everlove. We should be happy and thankful to have the chance to choose!

Your computer work ergonomy could be a looot better with upgrading your workstation! There are many good reasons to have a hight adjustable work desk. You find both electric and manual ones on the market, depending on budget (or maybe a recycled one to save nature). You can switch from standing or sitting to YOUR YOGA BALL ! :) Peace!

Oh and it is very recommended to look away from the screen every 15 minutes. This to do good for your eyes <3

Agreed!! I actually take several seats (and stands) throughout the day, different tables and different computers in different positions. A stationary life is not much my style. I haven't considered a differing height adjustable work desk, though I feel I get a pretty good taste of what that would be by shifting things up.

I definitely do some good moves for my eyes. I feel all the EMFs also take a toll on things. I guess I'm just naturally a nature girl!!!

Thanks so much for the suggestions and for caring enough to post this comment. I appreciate your thoughtful engagement.

I did this for @happychaga. Suits perfectly for this discussion!

Indeed @josephbuarao. It's rejuvenation for the soul.
