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. |

When they separate, man is no more.by Nicola Tesla Quote is from Wikipedia It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations.

Why: Honesty,  because life gets scrambled with out honesty.Courage,  because it takes courage to face living from day to day. We often have to face the actions brought into our lives on a daily basis by laws, lacks, and limitations.Compassion,  because knowledge brings into your sight all life around you.loyalty,  because it requires wisdom to use it.Humility,  because ageing proves you're not the only fish in the sea and grace to give you all the virtues you need.There are so many I just could not stick to 5. Some of them seem to lean on others. Happy Trails. Keep Smiling. |
