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. |
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” —Martin Luther King, Jr. Your thoughts.... I think this was written by a person who was making a difference for many people. A modern-day encourager. What Martin Luther King, Jr said was inspirational and applies to many facets in the life of people. I read a lot and the nonfiction stories about scientists making a difference in medicine, ecologists making a difference in cleaning the oceans are often not changes you hear about in the news. All kinds of studies about the earth are turning up interesting facts we don't think about often. I read that trees join their roots to a tree that is failing to feed it so it can continue growing. People of all natures have struggled to make a difference with knowledge. I like the quotes made by Martin Luther King Jr. because they remind us of the struggles all people go through to make a difference in life. Change is difficult. Only possible if we keep moving forward. A list of changes in conflict: Microwave Ovens, Electric automobiles, Corn for fuel for Automobiles and heat, prices of prescription medicine, abortion, gay marriage, student loan payoffs, even Christmas trees. I bet you can add more to this list depending on what changes are happening in the area where you live? WALK AGAINST THE WIND |
