This stuffed Beanie Baby dog came tagged "tracker" which fits my search for knowledge.

Here are words I like to write
All day long 'til it is night.
Words go up and words go down
When complete approve the sound.

If you complete my little rhyme,
Things will come your way in time.

I was happy I caught up with my Storyworth autobiographical entries today. It is mainly focused on writing the story of your life, however, I suppose you could also write a novel. You're limited to 480 pages.

Other than that I did a review this morning for a piece written by a favorite here. I am trying to visit a favorite author every day for the month of September. I am visiting in the order I added them as a favorite. I missed a full week. I will keep at it until each one is completed. I try to leave a note on a guestbook to let them know why I am there and review one piece. I look for something that has not been reviewed before.

The best policy for me is to look at what I have accomplished as enough. It is what it is. I often wish I could have a do-over for days when I am a slug. I don't like wasting time. Time is not kind and marches on faster the older I get.

Results! Not Excuses!

This was taped above our blackboards in my fifth-grade classroom. It is so hard not to explain why I am not reaching even the bare minimum of daily goals. Lack of energy, motivation, and focus are a few. I am taking two college courses. One is Social Media Communications which is easy. Still, there are discussions, quizzes, and final assessments every week. Today is the day some things are due. I have done two. It was my day to study math and doing quizzes leading up to a unit test. It is an intro to college mathematics class. I know that anything beyond additions, subtraction, and division of whole numbers is of little use in real life. It is a pass or fail course where passing is 70%. So far I am passing.

Prompt: Cats
September is Happy Cats Month. Do you like cats? And why do you think some people get along with cats better than with other pets?

** Image ID #2304419 Unavailable **
My first cat is Gunther on the right. His brother Frances is on the left.

Yes, I love cats, and my cats in particular. I had my first cat when I was 8 years old. His name was Gunther. He was named after Gunther Toody, one of the officers in the TV show "Car 54 Where Are You?" He was almost all light gray. He had white hair under his chin and on his neck with white hair on the top of his paws. After Gunther, I had Buffy, Smokey, and Katrina. Currently, I am a fur Grandma to Ethan, Ron, and Harriet.

Some people get along with cats better because they were lucky to be born cat people. There are some who later are chosen by a cat and discover they love cats. It is easy to have a cat. They are low maintenance. They walk themselves. They give themselves baths. They provide a steady purr to lull you to sleep. They have nine lives so you don't have to worry much about them getting hurt. Cats prefer to live with practical, quiet, and responsible people who understand their desires. It is a bonus if their person reads which leaves a soft lap to sleep upon for hours.

I love Sundays. I've never had a job I had to work Sundays. I do little or no business on that day. I do that because I need a day of rest. The other six days throughout my life have been overloaded with work, family, and all that goes with those. Today I will need to catch up on the final day of my final week in my current class "Organizational Communications." I have done a review and have another one in the pipeline.

I am so excited one of my friends has joined WDC. I was helping her this morning. Pshaw! She needs little help. She has books set up and her first entry in the can. She is smart and funny and just a super person. She is going to blog partly about her weight loss journey.

Welcome, Kerri aka Dragon Tears. Dragon Tears

Blog City Prompt
September 9, 2023

Prompt: “Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Let this quote inspire your entry!

RAOK. First, a biographical story of human kindness is my short story "Burger and Fries"

On a personal level, human kindness was demonstrated in my home. At the very rudimentary level of having kind acts as an infant onward, I found out this was far from the norm. It was natural for us to help others with the essentials they needed. Christmas for me is contacting the Santa Claus project in New York City to fulfill the wishes of a family's wishes anonymously. What they request the most is warm jackets. My parents and grandparents were models of human kindness. They were of two prior generations. Grandma grew up with seventeen brothers and sisters and lived on a farm. Neighbors looked out for neighbors. As Americans, we are free to move around and be part of the problem or the crusader of the solution. Mr. Roosevelt lived with different local, state, national, and international concerns. The uncertainty of war and maniacal people in the world was an impetus for a free people to move onward and upward with kind acts.

People I interact with, of all ages, are discouraged. They speak endlessly about how it is a cold, cruel world. People don't help people. In fact, I see mean spirited people constantly on the news and in my real life. At the grassroots level, kindness is alive and well. Case in point. I was a bit out of sorts regarding the information I discussed with a member. I was not kind. The person was kind and gentle responding to my conversation with sensitivity. It isn't earth-shattering in the big picture. But, it sure made a difference in my day.

Like an idiot, I have been up all night. I am in that "just one more thing" zone. I am interested in my Blog City prompt so I will be back to do that after I get some shut-eye.
