A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

In response to "Favorites"

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.

In response to " Dependency"

my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.

In response to "Thankful Memories"

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. Book festival here in Malaysia... and rain. Enjoy the snow if it comes your way.

Best Thanksgiving ever for me? Sardines and crackers.

In response to "Mentors are helpful"

I'm sure you were a great mom, even though you were young. You strike me as a highly caring and responsible person.

It's never too late to share the story with your children even if they're adults.

Giving and Getting

Prompt:"You'll have true happiness when you live to give, not to get." Noa Shaw Write about this in your Blog entry today.

:

Hi.

It isn't enough to know what the prompt says. In the USA, we fight a never-ending battle with wealth between the haves and have nots. This is too vague to bring out all the sociology involved in pay and giving.

I have studied a lot about Yoga because of Ezekial. I know about Karma because of Budda. I've read about people who gave everything they had and walked away to start something different. I'm sure they learned something about life when they accomplished this.

Jesus gave his life. A blood sacrifice from God who does not believe in blood sacrifice. Even Abraham was not required to give up his son in blood sacrifice.

I think the quote should read "when you learn to give, not take." It is a slight change of meaning. But if you give someone will get and they should not feel wronged, because they get something freely given.

Blogging comments are not a criticism of the reader or the Prompt.

That's all folks.

See Ya!

About Food

Cynthia Rylant says, "Food is better in November than any other time of the year.” Do you agree or disagree with Ms. Rylant. Are there certain foods that make November more special than other months?

In the northeastern part of the USA harvest begins near the end of august and continues until weather kills whatever is left.

Personally, I eat things I like all year round. If I'm not too lazy to cook them. I think more of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Jellied cranberry sauce is good with smoothies any time of year. My favorite meals are a salad and a burger or a piece of fish or a piece of chicken. Keith needs more, so I cook more. Then I eat more.

There are seasonal things I get more of like fresh tomatoes off the vine or corn on the cob off a roadside stand. Zucchiniand all kinds of squash. I guess harvest is what Thanksgiving is all about. As for the quote above, food is fresher in November but not necessarily better.

A balance of food intake and exercise is necessary.

The End.
