It seems almost like our HeadMistress and I are on a similar wavelength this term. Anisa recently announced her challenge and it appears that this term the focus is on bettering things. There will come a timeframe for focus on bettering ourselves, but the current challenge is to better a situation.
For many people, this is involving things like cleaning a particular area of their house or yard. With the crazy weather systems that have come through parts of the world, many other people are working to better the situation in their community as well as trying to help improve things in distant locations.
I have already encouraged us to make sure we meet our own basic needs, and I would like to also encourage everyone to take part in the HeadMistress Challenge. The world is a sometimes a bit of a mess, but we can work to at least help improve the situation in a variety of ways. Some suggestions are to help clean up an area of your town or city, donate to a local shelter or hospital, or volunteer with a charitable organization.
If that is stretching yourself a bit too far right now, then focus on making your own situation a little better. Clean around your favourite place to sit, do a bit of dusting (being careful if you have a dust allergy), maybe plant some seasonally appropriate plants. Those of us in the northern hemisphere are getting ready to head into the season where we stay indoors more, so having our spaces cleaned up to start off will help us. Those in the southern hemisphere are getting ready to warm up, so cleaning up from the season of more indoor time can help rejuvenate their space.
It may be hard work, but in the long run it is beneficial to our own mental and physical health to also take care of our situation and environment. Thank you to Anisa for the gentle nudge in that direction.
Take Care
