 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| Lilli's QOTD about a do-over: Coming late to the party I get the bounty of everyone's wisdom.  Yes, I can think of many poor choices or lack of action. Yes, I want a do-over. But no... that's not the way to live... looking in the mirror of the past deluded that one can change it. I'm not happy with certain times in my past. I'm not happy about many aspects of my present! But... the present is the only time I'm alive and I'm better off facing an uncertain future than trying to recreate a mythological past. Except for my writing (photos, trinkets)... as long as I don't get snared by the past and unable to come back to the present. "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  Week 4: Dec 21 -2721. Winter Solstice Our shortest day and longest night... We’re about to enter the season of winter: Quiet. Reflection. Incubation. Going Inward. Write something inspired by that. Not inspired at the moment. I've had 10 months of solitude. This solstice was all about covid cuffs and collars (how you carry your mask). I saw the rings of Saturn. 22. Today in History Look up some events that happened on December 22nd, select one, and tell us about it. 1989 - Romania's hard-line Communist ruler, Nicolae Ceausescu, was overthrown in a popular uprising. 1990 - Lech Walesa was sworn in as Poland's first popularly elected president. These two are interesting. I've been to both Bucharest and Gdansk. History hasn't been kind to either leader. Ceausescu lost his head soon after being disposed. Walesa wasn't a very good president in spite of all the hope. It was a trying time for all of Eastern Europe. Is life better for the common person now? Depends on who you ask. Many Americans cringed for 4 years of Donald Trump's tirades. But many loved his style and 74 million voted for him in the election. 30 years from now the world's perspective will have changed looking back. 23. Happy Festivus! Let the 'Airing of Grievances' commence... I spent an entire year screaming. I've done ranted and raged. 24. Last-Minute Shopper's Day also National Eggnog Day I should think good strong eggnog would hit the spot after a day of shopping. See what you can come up with for that one. I went to the grocery store the day before. I no longer participate in shop-until-you drop. I don't do lines and I don't do drama. 25. Pumpkin Pie Day Are you a fan? Why or why not. I really like pumpkin pie or sweet-potato pie or just plain pie...  26. National Whiner's Day Whiner or winer... you pick. Maybe you'd like to whine about wine... Or perhaps you forgot to mention a grievance from Festivus... I whine too much. No one likes a whiner therefore... 27. National Fruitcake Day Write about your opinion of Fruitcake. If you don't like them, you haven't had mine. I was raised with a good brand that was mostly fruit not cake. (from Georgia?). It would be nice to have one now. Thin sliced it can be quite good. Plus, they keep well. These were my weekly goal for 21-25: I'm wanting to fall asleep, really worn out. (Updated)  1. I will post every day in my blog. I've barely missed a day all year, but I really need motivation this week. Yep. "Solstice and Star" counts (I accidently posted one minute early.} 2. I will make trinket #1 and begin to share. Done. 3. I will plan trinket #2. Planning to use moon photo for reviewing trinket. 4. I will post in at least one contest. My white-cow poem! 5. I will finish at least 2 pending pieces of prose or poetry. Cow poem and wrote [300]. I found my glasses while looking for something else, so that can't be a goal. Maybe not lose them again? My silly poem...
