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. |
| Prompt: "Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge." William Shakespeare   I'm only acquainted with things I've read about the nobility in different countries. They are not always inclined to see their obligation to the poor that reside in their countries. Also, mercy means different things to different people depending on the need in someones life. The Old Testament Psalms often speak of God's merciful nature. Still anything bad happens on earth it is blamed on God by someone. It is interesting that when God is blamed for some unfortunate happening, whoever is blaming God is actually admitting that God is an individual. Then, there is the thought I have of individual power in life. Where does an individual need to show mercy? If God is able to show mercy can we as individual do the same? My muse is in a philosophical frame of mind. Happy New Year. Stay warm. |
| Prompt: I am looking forward to ___________________ in 2024, because ... I am looking forward to spring in 2024 because when it snows I am always looking forward to spring. And this weekend it finally snowed like it was actually Northwestern Pa., USA. I filled the bird feeder late yesterday afternoon and it is a good thing because the bird of many varieties are flocking in and out of the feeder this morning. These are year - round birds that are adept at living in this climate no matter the circumstances. My human side just wants to shiver when I think of living without heat in a snow storm. It has been snowing now for two days. Accuweather says it will stop today for most of the day. Than tomorrow it will snow in the morning and rain in the p.m. which will mean ice on the roads unless it warms up enough to melt everything. So, I'm in hibernation mode officially. Happy New Year--stay warm. |

The Bar is Always Open from Andre](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-The_Blogging_Banana_Bar-2246010_9.gif)   Fracture resolutions? I'm for it. I'm just not sure how to go about it. You see I haven't believed in New Year's resolutions for almost ever. Because even day to day living can be fractured. All you have to do to stop any plan from happening in my life is get out of bed in the morning. I looked up some of the most used resolutions. Some of the most popular are, lose weight, improve physical health, improve mental health, eat healthier, be happy. Be happy might work out if you don't try to keep a New Year's resolution. To really fracture something you have to crack or break it. You know like some people are trying to break the quincunx of the planet. Most resolutions can be broken by putting something else in the time slot where you would accomplish the daily workings of the resolution. Mental health can be broken easily by unimaginable psychological harassment. Physical health can be broken by slipping on a banana peel thrown carelessly on the floor. Andre can help you with that one. Writers block can be broken by a good idea, anyone out there have one? Everyday exercising can be broken by sleeping in, especially during the winter months when snow is present. On line resolutions are considered goals to psych you up. It seems to me a lot of people are already too psyched or they would not be threatening to start WWIII.( Did you know the WWIII symbol has a line under it as being misspelled?) However, WWII is considered proper spelling. The world is white outside my window. My resolution to stay tucked in my chair with a good book and a thick fuzzy blanket is already fractured. Well you get the idea here anyway. Three hundred words huh? We shall see as soon as I make a resolution I want to fracture. Word count on WDC = 317 Happy New Year! |
