Just a reminder.
Make sure to lean on the gate every day at least once a day and have a think. Nothing in your ears at all. Just open-ness.
Just watch. Silently. Let your own words flow across your minds blackboard. Give your worries their moment on your board then let them go. You can organize them later.
Just let your mind show you – say ok I see that – then – next. No need to solve anything. Just lean on the gate.
I don’t know what your process is to manage ordinary stress in your life but that is mine. 
Making sure I lean on a gate every now and then and allowing my mind to go through my list – emptying my board as I go. Until I am thinking about nothing.
Those few moments of nothing afterwards are lovely.
The hay is cut. Only the alfalfa. But it is beautiful- soft, deep green leafy plants. If I can get this into the barn without rain this will be the ‘good’ stack. I cut it at the perfect stage. There will not be many bales but we all need a stack of ‘best’ hay for when the animals need extra goodness.
I hope you have a lovely day. It is looking bright and clear here.

Lovely Alfalfa, Celi: ) Sending dry days with a nice bit of breeze until you’ve got it baled & and in the mow: )
Re your advise of “leaning on the gate” made me think of your photo a few days back… piglet, perched on the barn doorsill, having “a bit of a think”…
I walk in the woods or just sit on a stump or a log. I don’t think anything while I’m out there. But right now the mosquitoes are horrible in the woods, so walking is the best thing – keep moving, but without thought.
