Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

kare. Get a ski pole. It is what I use in winter can dig into snow and ice. Shows me snow depth and helps me have good footing on ice. Found mine years ago in the local Good Will store for cheap price.

Beautiful entry! I love how you relate to things and your conclusions, such as: "Weather has its' own ideology." Very writerly!

IMHO, The weather is less predictable than 50 years ago. Regardless, there are cycles.

We have had brutal winds this week, some snow, 16°F right now. The cold is important to kill off the nasties and snow in the mountains will help our streams come summer.

I got a cane for walking but it won't help with ice.

In response to "Coincidence!"

I'm very concerned that more experienced people are being replaced in every dynamic of our society and that more and more incidents will occur. I'm at a loss as to why neither of their radar detected the other's presence. And how much the radio chatter was a distraction.

I am very sorry for all involved, their lives were taken too soon.
As I write a response to you a private medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia Friday evening. The first responders are dealing with a fire as the result of the crash. Did you know there was a small plane crash last week in California and another one in Nevada.

In response to "Pine Woods"

I wish I had a dog or cat or pet. Maybe if I rented from someone who had them I could travel and then come home to my friends.

In response to "winter wonderland"

My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.

Unfortunately, I do the same.

Blog for Writing Resilience

I found new prompts in yesterday's entries. Since today is the 29th and tomorrow is the 30 I am going to do 2 today and save clouds for tomorrow.

First: Oh! I wish it could be...? Grandma always told me don't wish your life away so I can't wish for an early spring. I like to think the weather we presently have is the proper weather for that day. Just don't ask me about major problems with the weather like drought or excessive snow. I don't have the answer. I wish it could be a world filled with gardens and farms to feed the hungry. Absolutely no wars because instead of fighting over who owns God or the land people would spend time fixing, learning, building or resting.

Second: What do you think resiliency is? What are resilient people like? Are you or do you know resilient people?

Reference:

Google definition: re·sil·ient
rəˈzilyənt/
adjective
adjective: resilient

(of a substance or object) able to recoil or spring back into shape after bending, stretching, or being compressed.
synonyms: flexible, pliable, supple; More
durable, hardwearing, stout, strong, sturdy, tough
"resilient materials"
(of a person or animal) able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.
"the fish are resilient to most infections"
synonyms: strong, tough, hardy; More

Google definition pretty much says it all. I think you see that at least some of the USA is springing back after the atrocious campaigning and the election.

The 30-Day Challenge is working on flexible as we move forward to finish the challenge in November.

I know a lot of people around me that are resilient. You pretty much have to show some resiliency in order to continue aging. So, Blue Moon, Fivesixer, Wake up & Live, Mind The Shark's Teeth, Prosperous Snow are all examples of resilient people. Each one achieves this in their own habitat and approach to living.

Twenty-six days until Christmas.
