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. |
Describe a time when a personal failure became a positive experience.   Quote:“Feeling tired? Learn to rest, not to quit” ― Dido Stargaze https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/failure-quotes I'm exhausted today. K and I cleaned the barn for more hay that is even now being put away in the barn. Weather says rain is coming our way part of the week; so I am glad the haying is progressing so well. Failure to me is slipping from my mindfulness attitude. I can easily do just that, when I'm tired and have to be social. About 50 years ago I decided it's better to be silent that say things that aren't relevant to someone else's peace of mind. Over the years I found out if I'm too quiet someone thinks I should talk. If I say what I see it's better to shut up. So, today I think I would be better to shut up because barn work wore me down. I just reread the prompt and I have to say there must be a time when failure was a positive experience, but I can't remember one at this moment. Maybe, that's because I put failures behind me and move on as well as I can. And I try to remember the human experience is a bumpy road for everyone. Quote:Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill Read more at https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/failure ![Merit Badge in Point of View
