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. |
| For October 11,2015 News! There were two new school shootings in our local news this weekend. I am reading a book called "Every Fifteen Minutes" by Lisa Scottoline. Copyright 2015. It is fiction. Even fiction can bring up good points. The main character is a Psychiatrist. in the story he talks about the school shootings being done by people who are pushed over the edge. I remember how outraged I felt when I heard on the news that the shooter was being met every morning by a group of people praying for him as he arrived at school and I wondered if he had been pushed over the edge. What do you think about the subject of social stress and being pushed over the edge as a shooting cause?  October 12 Prompt: Children are often scolded "You see with your eyes, not with your hands!" Why do you think it's important that we see with more than just our eyes? Shame on who said it--it is not true. We have 5 senses. Touch, smell, hearing, taste, eyes, They are the contacts to our brain. From, the moment they form and become activated we take in information. Even when babies sleep they are bombarded with information from their senses. So, wise parents try to control the places in which they sleep, making it quiet, away from household noise, and control lights as well. If you can train yourself to understand from where the information impacted, you are on a roll to understanding how to make better decisions, as you surf life's waves. apondia#1781748 |
