 What is Blue Mind?

Day 1: On a Sailboat in Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta

I’ve included the term Blue Mind in many of my books. I often refer to it as the Blue Water Effect. Dr. Wallace J Nichols, a marine biologist, popularized the phrase with his book Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. Blue Mind is the mildly meditative state people fall into when they are near, in, under, or on water. It is peace. It is the feeling of calmness and relaxation that comes from being in or near the water, and it has a positive impact on our mental health.

Watching the Pelicans and Masked Boobies

The ocean is a common source of Blue Mind for me and Jon. That is one of the main reasons we moved to Sayulita, Nayarit, ten years ago and now live in Puerto Vallarta. We look for ways to reach Blue Mind from the Pacific Ocean where we live, and other seas when we travel.

When I'm having a Red Mind day and can't get to the beach for a few hours, I look for a Blue photo I've taken. Today, this one calms my mind. The memory brings me a feeling of tranquility.

Day 10 of Blue: My Olukai walking Shoes Arrived

From the U.S. and They Fit!

I'm so excited about my walking shoes, I don't even care that I had to pay an extra 489 peso importation charge for FedEx to get them through Aduana (customs) and wait weeks for shipping. They don't involve water yet, but soon!

Maybe This is Why I Love to Wear Blue!

Preparing the Motorhome for Rainy Season

 And My Window Valance Repair

Jon Caulked Every Place 

Water Could Enter 

The rainy season is due to start in May, maybe early June. This will be the third summer we have owned Minnie Winnie. She hasn't leaked yet, and we want it to stay that way. 

First, Jon Removed Old Caulking

Sitting on a Stool was Perfect for Low Work

Jon is very detailed in his work and has to battle himself not to be too much of a perfectionist. Even in this 85-degree humid weather, he put in seven to eight-hour days for six days! So much for boogie boarding this week.🥺

Jon Found This Clear Caulking is the Best

Jon discovered it was worth the time to tape the lines to be caulked about 1/16+ inch away from the seam, with blue masking tape on the RV body. After applying this clear caulking, he dipped his finger in denatured alcohol, wiped away excess product, and smoothed the line. He removed the masking tape right afterward, leaving a perfectly caulked seam.

Anyone would be proud of the clean job, especially a guy with Parkinson's disease. Shaky hands and muscle cramps made the work difficult, but Jon loves a challenge!

My Window Valance Repair Project

I don't handle the heat as well, so I attacked my window valance repair project. The previous owner's cats shredded all three bedroom window valances.

Time to Fix Bedroom Window #2

First Step: Strip the Foam and Fabric

Taping the Remaining Fabric and 

Valance Cords is Finished

Two Coats of Paint and the Tape Stripped

Looks Good to Me!

Mother's Day in Lo de Marcos was fun! Jon bought flowers for me from a street vendor who was walking by the RV Park. Since we're camping, I had to improvise for a vase. What a wonderful husband!❤️

Mother's Day Flowers from Jon

We celebrated Mother's Day twice. México's Mother's Day was Saturday and the U.S.'s was Sunday. Well, we celebrate every day! I'm grateful for our health and life in México.
