My mind and my life are wonderous things ... as are yours, I'm sure. I have more slips of paper and pages of notebooks with musings and thoughts than I really know what to do with. Someone, actually several someones, have suggested I start a blog ... or a journal as a means of focusing some of this mental energy.
To be honest, I don't even know what the difference between a 'journal' and 'blog' is--or if there even is a difference. Read on, my friends, and you can judge for yourself whether it even matters.
And so....
I'm JACE. Yep ... that's me! And somewhere in all my writings my last name may be posted. But I'll just leave it at Jace for right now. I'm 70 years old and heading full tilt to 71. It's strange that while I'm going through some rather serious medical issues, I still consider myself to be in the prime of my life--pretty good shape physically AND mentally, though I don't run for competition anymore . I love to ... dang, if I put this stuff here, I won't have anything for my blog.
Guess you just have to be patient until such stuff leaks out. Perhaps 2025, having embraced my retirement, will see more participation in my journaling efforts.
Are you telling me my birthday month(February) was an afterthought? Well, I never! 🤣 I love Christmas decorations, but I think they should at least wait till the 3rd week of Oct. and let Halloween have the spotlight for a while. 😁
I have my youngest granddaughter turning 14 on the 3rd, My second to the youngest granddaughter turning 18 on the 6th, and my youngest grandson turning 12 on the 30th. April's our busiest month though!
Just went to Home Depot... and Christmas Decorations are out! Evidently, in Mexico, Home Depot is the decoration center way outdoing Walmart.
Busy month here, too. My birthday (the Original Columbus Day), my wedding Anniversary (24th), and t ONE DATE NOT TO FORGET. Yes, it's my dog's birthday on the 21st. .
Heck, 54 degrees was warm for winter where I was growing up in New Hampshire! Your fall foliage cruise sounds like a lot of fun. Our leaves won't turn for another month or two here in So Cal. I heard the Kanc is full of color though and still peeping. lol -- if it's shorts, it must be summer! *biglaugh*
One day at a time and one step at a time. Progress in small doses add up to large achievements. Dear God, please help everyone who needs your strength, wisdom, and the helping hands of medical people. Guide the medical people so that first no harm is done and so they can do their very best to help in the way you, the great physician would help people, in Jesus' name, amen.
I hope you have clean reports for many years to come.
The tenth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, October comes from the Latin and Greek ôctō meaning "eight". The original calendar created by the Roman had ten months with October as the eighth month. (November and December were the ninth and tenth months.) Sometime later, the months of January and February were inserted at the beginning of the calendar.
Associated with the Autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere, October is a prime time for Fall festivals and harvest. It's also the only month in which all four of the major US/Canada professional sports leagues have scheduled games--MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA. It's also the time that Christmas decorations show up in stores. Yeah, you were just waiting for that.
For me, October is a busy birthday month. My wife's is the 18th, my Mom's is the 10th, a brother is the 17th, and my son-in-law is the 18th {same day as his mom's).
Which reminds me, it's shopping time for my wife. Ah, what to get ....
