Istiqlal (Independence), 3 Asma (Names) 177 B.E. - Friday, August 21, 2020 It's Friday! The last day of the traditional work week. The last virtual vacation entry I made was on Tuesday, August 18. I attempted to make entries for Wednesday, August 19, and Thursday, August 20. I failed to make those entries on those days. Today, I decided that I probably wasn't going to make them, so I deleted the beginning of each (which was only the prompt explanation). Even though, I feel less stressed today than I have the last two days, I decided not to make a virtual vacation entry for today. At this point, I don't know if I'm going to continue the virtual vacation entries. I will know that by Sunday, August 23. Yesterday I made a Thankful Thursday entry in "Writing in Snow" titled "Thankful Thursday: August 20, 2020" . Today I made an entry in "Snow's Space Blog" titled "The Unity of Science and Religion" . I'm more focused today than I was the last two days, so I will review and write a contest entry. I don't want to stress myself because I don't know why I was stressed the last two days. I couldn't focus on anything for very long, which had an effect on my writing. Ideas for poem or blog entries from today's research. "The Eleven Principles out of the Teaching of Bahá’u’lláh, Explained by ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá in Paris. The Search after Truth. The Unity of Mankind.
