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. |
Share three pieces of advice you’ve received through your life that you wish you had heard earlier.  Another quote from Goodreads: “To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.”― Eleanor Roosevelt ADVICE I am literally trying to stay away from blogging to much of my life experiences. It makes this particular prompt difficult to find comments I should share. But here goes anyway. 1. An uncle told me I shouldn't trust my cousin. It would have been better if this uncle had told me 40 years earlier in life .And, told my cousin he told me. Honestly, the part about this prompt that is difficult is "advice you wish you had heard earlier." It isn't always the things they tell you too late that matters; sometimes it's the things they refuse to tell you at all that are hard to bear. People don't give me advice or knowledge they just feel superior when I make a bad decision without knowledge to back it up. 2. Someone once told me Psychology was witchcraft.  So, when I took psych 101 in college I learned a lot about how psychology is used improperly as well as how it is suppose to be properly used. I could have used this knowledge about 65 years ago. 3. One bit of knowledge I gained through magazines was about hoarders. This isn't just a disease it is a hereditary problem passed down through families. It would have helped to know this forty years ago. No. I'm not a hoarder but I have met some in my time. The problem is they want to use my home to store things they don't ever intend to use.  .OK. Enough. Have a good day.  THE END. |
