One of the cool things about sharing in skills related to survival, self reliance, and resilient community is the many opportunities to practice. Attitude is one of the essential subjects we share. Perspective, a component of choice, is one of the tools we use to cultivate a positive and proactive attitude. For example, the flea infestation we were dealing with during our hectic prep for the Gathering didnt seem like such a big deal after the raw sewage back up into the house. Luckily, this opened up an opportunity to purge the entire downstairs and deep clean just in time for moving in the fire wood. Two days of cleaning and twenty six contractor bags of contaminated materials, each over sixty pounds, is a great work out as well. Its important to find the sweet smell of opportunity and thankfulness, even when you are literally ankle deep in the feces. If you find yourself in a world of . .poop, take the time to focus on those things you are truly thankful for, or that reason that makes you get out of bed each morning. Its important. Make sanity contagious. Good morning everyone!
