My internal chaos often comes from procrastinating too many things - too many times. It’s been getting worse and worse the last several weeks so yesterday all I did was catch up on things - not completely but I made a large dent in my to do list. I felt so much more settled afterwards. When I get to that place if I can settle myself and pick a couple of easier things or one big complicated thing to do it helps. Spending time outside is another way regardless of how wound up I am or why. Your essay definitely resonates with me.
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate it. I hear you about the procrastination, I spent most of the day catching up. I almost feel like I need a dealine to keep me moving and adrenaline kicks in. I agree the smaller tasks first! Outside time too! Thanks again, Susan!
I love the sounds of peepers in the spring. Spring is my favorite season, everything coming back to life. Finding those peaceful moments is a saving grace.
I generally need to move my body, spend time in nature and be left the fuck alone for a while 😬😉
I hear ya! Same here

I love this!….I heard it, the gentle peeps calling out from the woods in front of me. “Spring Peepers!” I whispered to myself.
This was the moment my soul needed!
Those few minutes of quiet and the soft melody of spring peepers reminded me to live in the moment and that this long winter would be ending soon.
Thanks so much, Larry! Those moments are gifts
What are spring peepers?
The are small chorus frogs that are native to the eastern US and Canada (the last part I just googled). I thought they were everywhere but I guess not
Interesting
So happy to see that your time changed from stress to peace. Sounds of nature can do that.
It really can! Those little moments are unexpected gifts 🌸

It's one of my favorite sounds in the world. Those moments of peace can come at unexpected times.
It's so joyful. It reminds me of summer camp when we used to try to catch them and they would pee in our hands. 🤣
Oh no!! I never thought of that! Lol
