A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

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.

Have you ever had to politely thank someone for something you would've normally found to be unwanted or offensive? How would you handle a situation like that?

Yes! When I was younger I would tell them the truth. I would tell them why. Now I am not really up to combat. Besides, I had to put on a lot of armor over the years and I rarely take it off for any reason.

Yoga is helpful, breathe deeply look them in the eye and say, Thank-you. Or, God bless you can make them walk away fuming. Especially if you know they believe in power not God. Everything depends on who the person is or what their intent might be.

This is Northwestern Pennsylvania. The big excuse people like to give is--We are experimenting on you. Of course, you are suppose to think that is all right when it isn't. It helps to read church history and find out where that particular excuse came from. Studying science and the history of experiments done on humans is interesting.

If I seem off the subject maybe, but my life experience says that people who know and care about you give you gifts that fit. The others make excuses for their behavior or just have ulterior motives.
