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. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Hi!Coral looks around. There is no one at the door. Laying on the floor of the porch is a 5 by 6 inch red envelope. What on earth is this, she exclaims. She stoops to pick up the envelope. It is blank and sealed. She looks around again. Hesitatingly, she walks out to the edge of the porch and scans the yard. A breeze is moving the leaves on the maple tree. A squirrel chatters at her from a high broad branch in the tree. Otherwise, there is nothing unusual to see, no human in sight. She walks back across the porch into the door and closes it behind her. It must be meant for me she mentally muses to herself. She walks across the room to the desk in the corner of the living area. Coral chooses the bone handled letter opener from the pen holder. She very carefully slides the thin bladed letter opener under the envelopes glued down flap; Trying to make as little damage to the envelope as possible. With her eyes on the envelope she carefully reaches out and lays down the opener with the elaborate handle. The contents of the envelope are stiff and have a slight amount of weight. She slides out a $25 Amazon gift card. A small slip of paper also slides out and falls to the desk top. She picks up the paper. There are typewritten words on it. THINKING OF YOU, HAPPY SHOPPING!she reads. Leaving the note and the envelope laying on the desk top Coral moves across the room and sits down in an easy chair. She turns the gift card over in her hand with a contemplating look on her face. I haven't the slightest idea who left this here or why. , she thinks. Or if I should even use it. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD CORAL GO SHOPPING WITH THE MYSTERIOUS GIFT? |

Thank you so much for your generous donation to [Link To Item #2142667] ! *^*Coffeetogo*^* Warm Regards, Lilli](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-QOTD-2149524_14.gif) Hi I just want to share what I'm reading today because I'm only into it by 4 chapters and it is really interesting. First, I've already written somewhere that I started a course in Anatomy and physiology. I've always been interested in my own health. I've taken a couple of courses in anatomy over the last 70 years so this is not exactly new to me. Over the years I only found one book on aging that really understood the aging process. There are probably more out there now. Since the information age came in we are getting more aging facts. Anyway--my interest has grown toward natural ways to stay as healthy as possible. I believe our doctors have more knowledge than I've tapped into. So, I keep reading the off the beaten path ideas. I've discovered that ancient people meditated, used stretching exercises and herbs to keep their bodies functioning on a daily basis. The book I'm reading is from the local library but it can be found on Amazon. It is titled Breath by James Nestor. I went into Amazon to find the book and found there are several authors writing about the same topic. So my new fun thing is to read books about how we breathe. So far in the chapters I've read it explains how our nose works. And there is the entry to laughter. Sometimes your nasal passage closes up on one side or another. There are real reasons for that. And breathing with your mouth is a no no. Even though some of this sounds funny it is a very serious topic. I can't wait to delve into a new chapter. I remember studying English assignments with a cousin. We were in the same English class. We could find all kinds of serious topics to laugh about. sometimes we would laugh so long we could not stop. I have not laughed that extensive in a long time. Nevertheless, it was very laughable to find out the ways our nose responds to orgasm and other bodily functions. A fact that is stated in Genesis, how God breathed the breath of life into the nose is also mentioned. So today I have to say read on.  Happy Summer Reading to one and all. Apondia reads. You know what? Somewhere out there is the answer to almost any question. Someone wrote the answer in a book. The search for treasure. .Write ON. |
| Today, I'm going to stop: Hi from Apondia: Honestly? MY days are so set. I keep doing what I do every day. I can change my schedule whenever I want to do whatever needs done on any specific day. If I have bad habits they are pretty well a part of my lifestyle. So, if I change anything it would have to be my whole life style. This isn't to say I would not change something if it needs changing. I would. But, I would have to find the why in the change before I made the change. Happy Trails |
Prompt: What makes you believe in the impossible? HI from ApondiaHow do you know what is impossible? Somewhere I read this quote. I don't remember where it is from. "A miracle is something that occurs, which you never experienced before." After I read the prompt I tried to remember something in life that is impossible. It is probably something in life that has a possibility of occurring but is blocked so it cannot occur. The solution is to remove the block. Here on WDC we talk about dragons and fairies. There are people in places on our planet who believe they have actually seen fairies. I know there are different species of dragons on the earth I've seen some in pictures. I guess that is why individuality in humans is so important. Where do you live? What do you experience? Are your experiences real or made up? Do you want to fool someone for a laugh or do you live in a world of reality where real things can happen you did not expect? There is a belief out there that says if you believe it will happen; it will. The trick is to really believe something. Faith is a necessary component of the impossible becoming possible. "But Thomas […] said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails […] I will not believe. [...] then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and […] saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands […] and be not faithless, but believing." Quote copied from Google Quotes by way of New Testament. What do you mean by the word impossible? |
| Prompt:Let this quote inspire your writing today: “June is a love song written by nature.”-Patience Strong" June is busting out all over" I immediately thought of the lyrics to Rogers and Hammerstein"s song. "June is busting out all over/ all over the meadows and the hills." The song was written for the play Carousel. It is certainly appropriate, because everything here is growing fast. Where things were grey, brown, or black it is all green. This year it seemed to me that the green was taking a long time to show itself. Then one day there it was all at once. I tried to get the song from You Tube. Here is the link. I'm not sure it will work. Happy Trails, Apondia |
