Sunday Contemplations and Weekly Planning

Jamál (Beauty), 6 ‘Aẓamat (Grandeur) 174 Badi - Sunday, May 21, 2017 CE

"Incline your ears to the words of this unlettered One, wherewith He summoneth you unto God, the Ever-Abiding. Better is this for you than all the treasures of the earth, could ye but comprehend it."1

Bahá’u’lláh

My neighborhood is quite this morning. No one is arguing. I didn't hear gunshots or sirens last night. The day started out on a tranquil note. My next door neighbor hasn't woke up because I haven't heard him making knocking noises this morning. I hope and pray the rest of the day remains calm and tranquil. I know as soon as everyone wakes up there will be some noise, but I hope it won't be arguing or fighting.

I have two activities planned for this week. On Monday, I have to pick up my Senior Commodities and on Thursday I have a 9:00 AM appointment with my doctor. I need a refill on my blood pressure medication, so I have to go into her office for a consult. I don't think I have anything else to do this week, but you never know. Something could come up and I would have to take care of it. The car is working now, which is good because I don't have to call Lyft or Paratransit.

On Saturday, May 13, I begin a 30-day blog project. The plan is to post to Poet999 - A Butterfly Emerges From Her Cocoon  , and I've did a good job of it so far. Today is the 9^th day of that project. I don't know if my readership has increased or not because I haven't checked the statistics in approximately seven days. I'll have to do that this evening or tomorrow afternoon because I don't want to take time out of my writing right now. I think after the 30 days are up, I'll plan my blog post a little better and write them the day before I post them.
