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. |

Then the rest of the day just read and play games on my kindle This is a typical type of day for me. Although somedays I refuse to do anything but read which catches up my energy reserves. |
Prompt: Have you ever seen a falling star? Did you make a wish? Write about this in your Blog entry today. I always called them shooting stars. Yes, I have seen a few in my life. Not in the last couple years because I don't actually spend much time viewing the night skies. I don't remember ever making a wish. Or, I don't remember anyone saying you could make a wish. I made wishes at thanksgiving with the turkey wishbone. And there is the blowing out the candles on the birthday cake wish. I've participated in that idea. The longer I live the more I see the benefit of reality. Knowledge is important to make good decisions. My life became a whole lot more relevant when the "age of information started." I can see how I actively was seeking to make life better when I pushed for our family to get computers, internet, kindles, phones, and corn burning heaters. Every modern thing that comes on the market is not what I want. I like the objects that make life easier and give us knowledge. If I ever made wishes, when I was a child, I can't say they came true. I have experienced the fulfilment of honest talents. Mostly, other people were involved in helping get things I wanted or needed to fulfil my life. My life ambitions are not necessarily accepted by the people who I live with or worked with at any point. |
