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. |
Think back to a moment in your life when you were faced with making a difficult choice. (Which city to move to, which college to attend, what to ask Santa for, etc) How might your life be different if you had made a different choice than the one you did?  Quote: Influence is when you are not the one talking and yet your words fill the room; when you are absent and yet your presence is felt everywhere. – TemitOpe Ibrahim https://sayingimages.com/influence-quotes/ CHOISES I like a steady day to day life. Major choices make me gringe if I don't have a lot of information about the alternatives to back up my choice. Most of my choices were not really mine. Sending my horses to a local sale was not exactly my choice . I was being pushed to do it. I did not even find out how I was influenced until years later. The choices I made, to get a job outside of my home were mine. The kennel job was a great choice but, my family interfered with it so, I did not keep it. Selling the sheep and goats was my idea too. Or at least enough of my idea to be beneficial. And, I used the money from the sale to buy a horse.  The Donut Shop job was also a good choice only once again, someone else interfered with it. Still, a good choice to work and earn my own cash. College was a good choice also. I will never be sorry for going even at such a late date. It slung me mentally into the information age. It aided my self esteem. And, I became tech savvy. It would have been good for me to learn the college things earlier in life. My brother suggested I become an airline stewardess after high school. I sometimes wonder how I would have managed if I had done that, with as little knowledge of the world as I had at the age of 17. I was a dumb blonde at age 17.  } The End |
