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.

We've all had a mentor or two in our lives. Tonight, write about the first person that ever believed in you.
My mentor list would be long. The firs person would be my mother. She looked out for me until my 6th birthday. After that it was my brother, dad, uncles, aunts, a grandmother, and teachers who gave me good advice along the way. A little here a little there helped me move along in life.
What I know is the right comment at the right time gives understanding. Understanding combined with experience helps people succeed.
