What activities do you lose yourself in?

Hello everyone 👋🏾

I was told idle hands create mischief. I was always one who liked to make things that I could use or give as gifts as a child.

So when my mother, aunt, and grandmother would make anything, I wanted to learn from them too. This is why I do different things. Each one did different things that they favored. Each one had to learn to make what they could, for it was cheaper to do so.

The reason why one would go to the store to buy anything was from convenience. One didn’t have time to make it if you were a working mother. Or even single when I was growing up

The food from the grocery was bought and reheated up for the family, and the mom and dad shared responsibilities.

The knowledge of making clothes and repairs to the home and vehicles are lost in the generation “Z” for the most part. Let’s not forget cooking, growing food, and preserving food. All I have had to learn, too.

The vehicle repair I know a bit. But my husband does it all for the most part.😄

Canning food I had to learn from watching YouTube channels like “Homestead heart.” She was raised up learning to can her food.

When you learn something new that you can help yourself and your family that can save money  or make money, it feels good. 🙂.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

Matthew 5:37

“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”

King James Version (KJV)

It may be just me, but I find that when a person is truly honest and trustworthy, it is unique. That is a breath of fresh air.

Instead of a straight yes or no answer, people have gotten into the habit of answering in a non committed way. Giving the questioner full paragraph answers instead.

So you wait 15 minutes or so trying to understand if it is a roundabout way of saying yes or no. Politics us like that. When you listen to a politician, you have heard this type of talk.

When I speak, I aim to give a yes or no. I want to reply on a way that to the questioner it will sound abrupt. If the answer is no, because they may be hoping for a yes.

Because in the tone of one’s voice, any answer will sound harsh if you don’t watch your tone.

Peace and blessings ❤️.
