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. |
Motivation Mondays: Discuss quotes: "Everybody is entitled to their own opinion," Big Bird on Sesame Street. Big Bird also said, "Don't refer to me as a thing, I'm a Bird."Big bird seems to have given lots of advice. I found at least one person who said Big Bird did not prepare him for the things he was facing in life. I always thought Sesame Street was just a children's puppet show. I spent my childhood outdoors or in the barn so I did not take Sesame Street very seriously when my children were watching it, I watched Howdy Dowdy guess I'll be asking my children's input when I see them again. I suppose the most boring thing I told the kids was, "Do your homework." or "Is your homework done?" or "get your chores done." Or "if you post at the trot its a lot smoother." my daughter's input.  kind of worthless now since she is no longer around horses. Also, a boring comment when going around and around in a lesson.“Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.” – Edwin Hubbel Chapin I found this here. https://brightdrops.com/inspirational-quotes-for-kids The thing I liked about this quote was the science that is involved when a sound goes out across molecules. Actions also make a sound, traveling from one electron to the next. Proclaiming the action out across infinite space. Another quote I liked in the link was about study. Children often say they don't like school or they don't like to study, but I never knew a child who doesn't like to learn. It is just difficult for a child to put learning fun things together with reading, studying, or regular school attendance. One of the hardest things in life for any person is to follow is a daily routine. |
