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. |
Write your entry inspired by the word “nurture.” What does it mean to nurture something or someone? How were you nurtured growing up, how are you currently nurtured, and how do you nurture others? Nurture: noun:https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=define+the+word+nurture noun: nurture 1. the process of caring for and encouraging the growth or development of someone or something. "the nurture of ethics and integrity" synonyms: encouragement, promotion, fostering, development, cultivation, boosting, furtherance, advancement "the nurture of ideas"  {i}“We do not learn for the benefit of anyone, we learn to unlearn ignorance.”― Michael Bassey Johnson https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/nurture Even when I think I understand the meaning of a word I will look up the meaning to be sure I have it right. I was to some extent nurtured by my Dad, who often gave me good advice and was not afraid to speak up, when he thought I was going to do something I should not. Or, when he thought I had done something he approved of. Reading, listening to news, Blogging with the 30-day-challenge, reading the writings of others on  , these are all ways I am currently nurtured. Although, I think of nurturing as being applied to youngsters more than oldsters. Once in a social studies group we talked about sharing with others, as a means of passing news and communication. If you apply the word to growth it probably is for any age group. Since, anyone can learn at any age. I spent the last year nurturing a new kitten. She knows how I apply the word NO! Like any teenager she doesn't always obey.   |
