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. |
What do you do to improve your mood when you are sad? If you are frustrated or angry, what is your secret to feeling better? Scripture and my spiritual faith in the Living God is my go to place. Spiritual music helps. I learned from my mother who died as I was turning six years old "Now I lay me down to sleep I Pray the Lord my Soul to Keep, If I should die before I wake ,I pray the Lord my Soul to take." People isolated me and tried to teach me things I should not know. I had no protection from their evil ideas. Still, in all the problems other people have heaped on me I continue to do my daily work. I continue to see that physical death is not the end and daily habits matter. Covid shows us that just getting up and moving on, each day has a reward to it. Are we bored sure. As elderly people are we cast off to make room for younger people. Yep. But, our lives matter even to those who cannot see it. Study ecology. Study the key species. If the key species dies out it takes others with it. Scripture tells us; what the elders know and pass down matters. Otherwise, the young have to travel the exact same path to find the exact same knowledge. Look at space. The universe is expanding at a spontaneous rate. God continues to create. God rested on the seventh day. God did not quit creating. Humans are going to space and beyond. One of the greatest interests to me is the cooperation between nations as they work toward colonizing new planets. Interesting new thoughts, new technology, new knowledge. Look for it. |
