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.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.
my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.
Prompt: "Patience is learned through waiting. " Eyen A. Gardner Write about this in your Blog entry.
Good Morning.
The prompt for BCoF today was about death. Hope the people waiting for me to die are learning patience. Not a subject to take lightly either patience or death.
I think it is easy to lose patience when you are being harassed. And, I guess you always have to remember what is said about the People Wo Make Things Happen. Over the centuries these kinds of people whoever they may be can make life purely miserable when they meddle with a normal lifestyle.
Another subject equals meddling. If you lose your patience because someone else is meddling in your life. It is understandable. Patience, Peace, and Prosperity are always better than war, destruction, and desperation.
We're all going to pass at some point in time, which piece of your own writing would you like to be remembered by/with. If not a piece of writing what other remembrance would you choose?
Hi. From Apondia
I'm not criticizing death. I recently read in an esoteric science book. Death is something every living thing passes through on its way to extending life.
I'm going to leave it to the choice of the family. It is interesting, just lately a lot of people continue to dwell on death. I just try to make every day count, while I'm still here. I did start a will this summer. The will probably won't have any affect if I die before Keith. I do think someone will want my rolodex if I die. Actually, they probably want it now.
Since college I have had 2 how-'tos' on my desk. One is 10 guidelines for writing news. The other is 9 obituary guidelines. Maybe I will write my own obituary and leave it behind. If I follow the guidelines, it might be an awesome piece of writing.
Any of you out there who are constantly thinking of your death want help with your obituary let me know?
God willing I'll be back tomorrow, if I make it through today.
Quote: Revelation 21:4 - "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Hope is eternal.
