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.
The temperatures have dropped here in Nevada too. There's a mountain we see in the distance, and it's already dressed in white. I think it's going to be an interesting winter, don't you?
Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.
I don't really have a favorite book, or story. There are too many really wonderful ones. I've always liked Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" I don't think I can recall enough poetry to pick a for sure favorite. I just enjoy reading because in a book you can view History, motives, and mindsets of numerous people in numerous nations' doing all the things people can think to do. My favorites are often the one I read yesterday.
Prompt: "Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.: Denis Waitley
Write about this in your Blog entry today.
Yesterday I took the dogs for a walk. We walked on green wet yard ground. Today what looks like foggy weather is actually tiny drops of snow which now litter the ground. Once again all is a white wonder land.
Determination Is active by endurance. Resolve is active by the mental insistence it takes to accomplish the goal. Both require a kind of energy placed upon the blocks in your way. Roadblocks will fall before the energy placed upon them as you achieve each step in your path. Wisdom works wonders, when thrown solidly against roadblocks.
