Remaining positive and being thankful.

[@debbiesittard7653]

Hi Dan. I tell ya I go out of my way to find companies just like these you are purchasing from. That is the old fashioned way of doing business. I also realize that our society today doesn't have just a whole lot of honest people like yourself who would mail a check for goods received. But it sure is nice to locate these family owned business. Great video! Thank you, Deborah, NE Texas

[@wildernesshermit]

@@debbiesittard7653 Indeed Debbie. And it’s great to see it must be working for them. Thanks for the comment.

So happy to see you back again !!!

Thanks Dolores, I do have a tendency to come and go lol. I post by inspirational whims.

[@mcwhorter141mcwhorter8]

Really happy to see you!

[@FatGuyinaLittleWoods]

I like the positive vibes. We definitely have some things going for us in the modern age. Abundant clean drinking water, abundant food, increased life expectancy just to name a few. Definitely some things to feel fortunate about

[@wildernesshermit]

Isn't that the truth my friend, Give Daryl a pat for me.

I've been looking everywhere for your page. I forgot name. So glad your back Sir. You've helped me view the world from a beautiful perspective.

[@wildernesshermit]

I'm glad you found me again and that's a great thing to hear sewewdags. It's my only purpose for being here, thanks.

You can search in your subscriber list. 👍🏼

[@jimcramer9656]

I’d be interested in more details of how you learned to be more positive. Very glad you made a video and all is well.

[@wildernesshermit]

I'll do a more in depth video on that, I'm always delighted to share the Dharma. Thanks Jim.

Thanks Jonathan.

Greetings Michael thanks for stopping by. East TN, very beautiful area of the country.

My pleasure my friend, say HI to the flock for us.

Many thanks Marja, that's the primary purpose of me having created and continuing the channel.

Thanks, and indeed, doesn't Paul do remarkable work. It's always a joy to find master craftspersons.

Thank you, and I also enjoy Rumi.

[@wildernesshermit]

Your welcome and reading Rumi during my years of solitude brought me great joy and insights. Thanks allegro.

[@retirementbootcampoff-grid237]

I also had a lifestyle goal as a young child like you did. It was to find a quiet place in the American Southwest away from the cold where I grew up. Isn't it amazing how even as children we make can make these plans?

[@wildernesshermit]

Indeed, and then find find ourselves years later living it.

[@LilyGazou]

In 10th grade I designed a round dome house with a wood stove in the center, lots of other details. The closest I got to that is a tipi. Unfortunately that burned in a forest fire. But the next one will be Adobe or earth bags.

[@retirementbootcampoff-grid237]

@@LilyGazou Bet you learned many things Awesome!

[@wildernesshermit]

@@LilyGazou Excellent thought Lily, designing unique homes in the 10th grade is impressive.

[@michaelsuperstar606]

For some reason KZbin suggested your video on my front page. very entertaining.

[@MrElliebeli]

This puts things into perspective for me, how much pressure there is to obtain shiny new things and keep one poor when you seem to have all you need to be very happy!

[@wildernesshermit]

I'm glad you found it helpful and appreciate you letting me know, thanks.

Great to see you.😊

Many thanks Raye, it's great to see you here also.

[@shadowband70]

It's great to see/hear you Mike 🙂. I think now that the well is built, it might be a good resource. Have you ever whittled a figure of yourself? I'd like one of those 👍 Your short film of your location is lovely...do you have any kind of fruit in those trees? If you expanded on positive thinking I'd be most grateful 🙏 I still obsess on things like injustice, when at my age I feel that I should focus on inner peace 🤔

[@wildernesshermit]

Hi Shadow, indeed, water is always a gift. A self portrait in wood, an interesting thought but I don't have the skill. The Pinon Pines produce pine nuts and some of the Junipers produce juniper berries. I'm working on a video regarding the process I use to develop and maintain positive thinking and inner peace. Thanks for asking, it's a passion of mine and I'll share it soon.

[@darphillips1939]

Thanks so much for your videos. I am still so encouraged by you in knowing that inner peace exists. I don’t want much…I just want a peace.

[@wildernesshermit]

Indeed. Many thanks Dar.

[@jamesp.7496]

Welcome back….not that you went anywhere but , I think we were all checking and wondering where the next video would be loaded. Unfortunately change is inevitable….i lived through it when I lived in Illinois. There was push back but you can’t stop it. Thanks for the video. Enjoy your week and weekend. ❤️🌵

[@wildernesshermit]

That's right James life is change, when we embrace it it can take us into what I call the 'forever understandings.' You take care and enjoy the day as well.

[@sonyageorge7290]

Good to see your video. Yes, please more videos on positivity.

[@wildernesshermit]

Hi Sonya, I'm currently working on exactly that. The tentative video title will be "Dancing in the mind." Thanks for stopping by.

[@wildernesshermit]

Thanks Lori, I'm glad you stopped by.

[@LilyGazou]

Good to hear from you again. 🌺 I have to work on being positive.

[@wildernesshermit]

Hi Lily, it's an ongoing mental exercise. I refer to it as contemplating. I continually, in a light hearted way, examine my thoughts to all the events I encounter and dial in an open and neutral view.

[@kellyvh1209]

Our internet provider stopped the senior discount here. So hopefully funding will come through to start it up again. It helped us on our limited income. Keep on keeping on, dear one.

[@wildernesshermit]

Indeed Kelly, it's interesting how some companies engage in generosity even when not asked. Thanks.

I've got a beautiful 'log' of basswood for carving.

[@wildernesshermit]

Hey Pink, wow. A log, that's fantastic, do you carve?

[@P1nkBanj0]

@@wildernesshermit My dad did. He passed away in October. The carving tools, he made the most beautiful birds, they looked real. He really got into it in his mid 60s-70s. After a while the sawdust aggravated his lung. I kinda wish I could show you the carvings.

It's so nice to hear how a daughter appreciated her fathers craft. If you'd like you can Email a photo at : [e-mail] I always enjoy see others work.

[@wildernesshermit]

Many thanks Daryl, glad you stopped by.

[@CastleHassall]

sometimes it's good to resist stuff we perceive as bad.. if we only ever see the good in everything then we would sit in the same room as very bugging people forever if we started there it's sometimes good to just get away from, or try to stop, the stuff we feel is bad i know some will disagree, but really it's good to disagree sometimes and stand up for what we want if people are ruining our good if we don't then the selfish people can ruin our good

[@wildernesshermit]

A valid point Castle, thanks.

[@CastleHassall]

won't pumped water lower your water table if they take a lot?

[@wildernesshermit]

It would depend on the size of the aquifer they tapped into. The closest well that I'm aware of is about 3 miles away. It's no longer in use but at one time produced a huge volume of water.

[@Ki7oba]

Do you sell your wood carvings?

[@wildernesshermit]

Yes on occasion. I have a small website with a gallery and contact form. www.hermitcarvings.wordpress.com but I'm not a commercial operation with a storefront.

[@Poncho758]

I will give us a tour of your place so we can see

[@CMoore8539]

How are you going to give a tour of his house?

I did a video "Outside our hermitage" that shows our place. Thanks Poncho.
