Survival Sunday: February 25, 2024

Happy weekend, friends!

Survival Sunday is a personal note and a round-up of the week's news
and resources for folks who are interested in being prepared. This
curated collection of information is only available to email and Patreon
subscribers.

Have a great week ahead!

A PERSONAL NOTE

 

Good morning! I hope this letter finds you doing well today. I woke up
to the sound of a soft rain shower, followed by a bird serenade. My
little apartment is surrounded by trees, and often, when all is quiet
and nobody else is awake, it feels like I'm out in the forest. It's a
lovely way to begin the day.

My bestie is a singer. An AMAZING singer. She and the other half of her
musical duo are entering NPR's tiny desk contest, and she ROCKS it. Can
you go over to Youtube and give this entry a "like" and an encouraging
comment ? It would mean the
world to me and would really help move their entry up where it belongs.
(You may want to subscribe to their channel, too - these folks are going
places!)

There's something so rewarding about having time to indulge in creative
endeavors. If there's one upside to the injury that has limited my
ability to get out and do things, it's that I've been able to do
projects I've thought about for a long time. I'm finally working on a
novel that has been stuck in my head for years (you're reading it as we
go along in The Widow in the Woods postings.)

I've also been organizing my stuff. A recent guilty pleasure of mine has
been "The Home Edit." There's a Netflix show, a social media account,
and books about delicious, beautiful, color-coordinated home
organization. What I really love about these ladies is that they believe
it's okay to have "stuff" unlike other home organization gurus. (I'm
looking at you, Marie Kondo.) Clea and Joanna of The Home Edit just
believe you should have a system for your stuff.

Really, out of all the home organization books out there, I think this
one is most geared to preppers. There's an episode on the show where
they organize Chris Pratt's garage and it's loaded with regular garage
stuff PLUS an abundance of tools and emergency supplies. (cough - preps
- cough)

As well, their projects are loaded with mentions of "backstock."
Backstock, in their definition, is simply extra supplies. It might be
household goods for some folks, extra food for others, or beauty
supplies for still others. But when I look at the concept of backstop,
all I see are preps, nicely lined up on shelves or contained in
attractive vessels.

So, anyway, I've purchased a few (*ahem*) nice lucite containers, some
matching plastic shoe boxes, and a roll of labels. I've been making my
way through every drawer, closet, and shelf in my apartment a little bit
at a time, and it's so gratifying. It really is so much easier to lay
hands on what I need immediately with these systems. Plus, items take up
far less space when you remove them from their packaging and line them
up. I have a lot more room than I thought I did, and it isn't too
difficult to maintain.

When life gives you lemons, line those suckers up and put a label on
'em!

A huge lesson I have learned through enforced 'rest' is the importance
of keeping busy with productive things. It's easy to feel sorry for
oneself when life isn't going the way you'd planned it.

The time will pass regardless of how you spend it. You can get mired in
self-pity and sadness, or you can do things that will make life better
for future you. How you expend your energy and use your time will affect
you either negatively or positively. You can sit around watching
television for every waking moment or you can accomplish things within
your ability. There's almost always something you can be doing. (And
don't forget that resting is also doing something, particularly if you
are recovering.)

Some of this may sound frivolous. A year ago, I would've thought so too.
But I'm limited by my body right now, so I've chosen to look at this as
an opportunity. That's the difference between deep depression and a
positive mindset for me.

This lesson could apply to so many different situations: lockdowns,
being home due to civil unrest, job loss, chronic illness - spend your
time well, and you'll mentally feel so much better.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead!

Love,
Daisy
