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 about a lesson you’ve learned the hard way.  There must be dozens. Don't let your mind wander. Live in the present. Look for good things every day in life. Do what you know how to do not what others think you should know how to do. When the rushing thoughts try to take over my brain. I sometimes put a picture of multicolored daisy's in my mind. Stops my brain flood every time and puts me back in the present.  Funny thing. I don't remember ever seeing a picture like the one that pops up of daisies in a field.  I must have been fifty before I started reading books about meditation, zen, Mindfulness. Wish I had read them earlier in life. I'm not sure these kind of books must have started appearing when technology took over. People are individuals. You can't live in other peoples bodies and they should not try to live in yours. Take time for yourself. You deserve to live. P.S. Could not reach the internet because of heavy rain storms today. Our dish just won't get a signal then. Then when I finally reached  my mouse quit working. Had to go home and install another. I was grumpy but I didn't scream. Good for me.   |
