I like the phrase “I reckon so” from the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales. It’s a phrase I say to myself a bit to help accept some situations.

Life is about outlook. And life is hard so having that positive outlook is challenging at many points. Personally, I just have to keep my eye on the goal of being happy.

And today I’m accomplishing that by picking up my hobbies again. Yardwork, dog sitting and foundation sealing have had me occupied the last few days, but we are almost caught up there.

A lot of people might not want to dine outside later this week.

Then again, this week may be too hot for some of you. Not for this kid. I like it and yes that 100+ will be uncomfortable but it won’t keep me from being out and about. This shot also got me thinking about having a meal outside. I haven’t been to LeeLynn’s with my better half in a while and I’ve always liked their food and service.

I’ll move the workbench outside and will do some woodwork after getting a haircut in the morning. I’ll make sure the camera batteries are charged and hopefully sit down at the easel for a bit.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• It always feels good to have a more productive week than the previous week. I just have to keep building on that.
• I’m having beach withdraw. I’ve got to solve that soon.
• The definition of spotty showers was this past weekend.
• There are two goals I have for today and they seem in conflict. I’d like to do a lot of shooting, and I’d like to spend some time in my hammock.
