Today's frustration stemmed from my Chromebook Google Account that was out of storage.  I fiddled around until I found how to permanently delete photos, videos, and saved documents from way back when.  My heart broke when looking at pictures of Emma, Cuddy, and of happy family times.  I figured if they make my heart hurt, why not get rid of 'em.  That's exactly what I did.  Pictures are wonderful, but they can also make a person downright sad.  Regardless, I recouped storage space and was able to continue downloading stuff.  

Like with photos, we get so wrapped up in the times gone by, that we fail to give our very best to the present.  That's human nature.  Our minds can be our worst enemy sometimes.  Wouldn't it be a spectacular perk if the brain had an on-and-off switch?  OMG, that would be a game changer alright! 

The computer storage alert cost me precious time that I should've been giving to the teapot project.  After figuring out what to do and how to do it, my brain feels like a fried egg.  This is where I practice what I preach and give it a rest.  Gonna head over to YT and watch some mind-relaxing videos.  Last evening I found a couple who live in mountainous South Korea.  It's raining with light snow there now.  They warm their small home with wood and prepare simple earthy foods like mushrooms, walnuts, persimmons, and eggs made with green onions and carrots.  Then I jetted off to Japan, where I watched a couple who run their own restaurant.  Just love watching the wok chefs create their dishes that make me drool in the distance.  

On the Korea video they made snow ducks after it snowed.  They use a gadget called a duck tong.  They fill the duck-shaped part with snow, close it with the tong handles, and when they open it they have a little snow duck.  Talk about cute.  

The sun is shining, and I see little Olive out for a walk.  She's a cute little puggy who lives at Venny.  The neighborhood has quite a few fur babies that take their daily outings within our view.  All's quiet and that's the way we like it.
