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. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Well sometimes I'm grateful for a sale at a special time it does not have anything to do with love just relief I can spend less for something I need. It might relate to love if it is a person or something some person has done. I think gratitude is related to words like testimonial and tribute. It is important to be openly grateful at times.  |
| What is your favorite Winter holiday?jh I like Christmas the best. A postal worker told me this one season, "Jesus is the reason for the season." No matter whether people fight over exactly when the birth of Jesus occurred; it is still the celebration that matters. It is the beginning of a story that has affected the entire earth. Every year it renews itself. It is a time during the year when there is more peace celebrated, when everyone needs peace. There is always someone around that does not want to celebrate Christmas. I always say that is your choice. For me even if it just meant a vacation for children at this time of year and gift giving and decorations and seasonal music it is still a great time of year to enjoy a celebration. I always wonder at Christmas what Jesus's childhood was like. There is only a small amount of information about his youthful years. His ministry on the earth was short. Only a few years packed with information. Christmas showing up on the heels of Thanksgiving is good as well. It seems to lengthen the party.  : |
