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. |
Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition? I used the dancing owl today because making it clear through the month was a very joyful experience. Quoteshttps://:https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/competition “Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased.” ― Jiddu Krishnamurti “Man is not, by nature, deserving of all that he wants. When we think that we are automatically entitled to something, that is when we start walking all over others to get it.” ― Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality Day 30 Every prompt brings it's own type of endeavor. I guess I worked at the one on bias most because, we are living in a time, in this nation, that is revisiting the past. There is a certain kind of influence in politics that brings out the worst kind of bias in the nation. I was interested to see meddling manipulation was happening all over the world. I'm always rewarded when I blog daily because I end up writing something other than the blog that is worth while. Why blogging motivates me to finish a story here and there I don't know. Blogging daily gets me going earlier. Plus, reading what others write makes me feel like there are other people out there in the world. I'm always startled when the 30th arrives. Not much of a calendar watcher. Which reminds me to put some reminders in my calendar. Lets see what next month brings? Forward into the future. |
