 |   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.

| 30DBC: What is your first memory of being really excited? I look at a picture of the blond haired boy. I don't remember him. My aunt once told me a story about how I threw food when I was in the high-chair. Maybe I was excited? And supposedly I ran when I was 9 months old. But memories? No. My childhood faded long ago. I could look at grade school photos and tell you who-was-who. I was the goofy kid up front. I was small for my age. But what excited me? I remember finding an abandoned marigold in bloom. And irises and cosmos. Wild strawberries? We would go search for them by the abandoned greenhouse and bring a cupful home and my mother would make shortcake. Like the Ingmar Bergman movie, I'm an old man and my memories are black and white and hazy. Not easily excited tonight. My flash fiction was found to be acceptable though:

| 30DBC: For most of the world, today is “Spring Forward,” when clocks are set an hour ahead. In your entry today, write about time and how you make the most of it. What is worthy of spending your time on? What is not? In your opinion, what do people spend too much time on these days? We waste too much time, energy and money changing the clocks. And too little time adjusting ourselves. Now that that's said... I do not spend time "wisely". At least not according to others. I daydream a lot. A LOT! Like a cat. I understand cats. I could say that reading and writing is time well spent; but, those dishes need to be done... So: 1. make sure what is important gets done. 2. make sure what's timely gets done. 3. dusting only matters if you're bored, OCD, or a slave. Most things can slide. Hugging your kids cannot. I spend too much time overthinking. I worry (The Joy of Worry = I always have plan B). Others? Watching TV. Seriously, it's a virtual world that entraps the audio and visual senses and makes one an observer of the world instead of an active participant. Okay in small doses but many people binge. Reading isn't the same. It engages and yes, it can keep one from having a life, but it doesn't control the senses in the same way. Same with always having music on (or the radio... remember radio?). For me traveling helps because I have to engage in the world whether I want to or not. I could add the dangers of sitting in front of a screen all day ... but here I sit blogging ...  Major problem for many of us.Gotta go ... got water boiling and dishes to wash ... 1.535 |
