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. |
Where do you see yourself five years from now? Be realistic, write about your writing plans, or other plans you may have. Quote:“The future is never just one choice. It's a thousand. And they never stop. You will choose your future every day of your life. And should you wake up one day to find that you regret the choice you made the day before, then make a new one. Don't worry about whether you might be wrong someday. Worry about whether you're right now. Tomorrow can wait.” ― Cora Carmack, All Played Out --https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/future-plan Five Years? That is such a short amount of time. If nothing large changes in my life I will still be here muddling along. We are slowly making changes that will make life easier. Last years corn stove experiment worked so well we are installing a smaller one on the main floor. The corn stove we installed in the basement resulted in a reduction in the amount of electricity we used in preceding years. We had less work load by eliminating wood heat. We continued to heat the living room on the main floor with a radiant heater. I did consider tearing down the whole house and building a tiny house in its place which I doubt would ever happen.  That is my brain which doesn't age talking. In 5 years, my school loans will be paid extra dollars in the budget will be nice. I do wonder about the aging process. In 5 years I will be 81. I talked to an 81 year old women this summer. Her husband passed away last spring. She is maintaining her life style in the home where she raised her family and is presently doing well. I'm going to miss summer this year. We have some insulating to do and the new corn stove to install. My new companion dog which I got last Christmas has progressed in his obedience training. I take as many daily walks with the two dogs as I can. Sometimes lately, if the heat is simmering I skip walks. Really, living is just a daily adventure. If there are going to be any major changes in the next 5 years I can't see them right now. I'm moving into the next season one day at a time. ![Merit Badge in Appreciation
