Reading is an acquired taste
Humans who love reading do not understand others who don’t enjoy reading. We readers look at the non reading humans like they are aliens. Think of it this way. Not everyone likes tacos or chocolate. I’m not sure why but they don’t. Reading lovers unite! Let us the book lovers push our love for reading…

Day 97
I love this old hymn. In the multimedia world we live in I was tempted to find it on YouTube. However, I am a word girl. I love the words of this hymn so much I’m breaking my own rule and posting song lyrics. The copyright is listed below. I don’t know about tomorrowI just…

Day 89
I admit it. I am a book snob. A book in the hand is better than a book on a screen. I have a dirty little secret. I cheat on my books with audio books in the car. It’s my guilty pleasure. Let’s keep that just between us.

Day 81
It’s true you should not waste money. It’s not the most important resource you shouldn’t waste. If you spend all your money on fun you can always go to work and make more money.

Day 53

Day 49
People should listen instead of just waiting for their turn to talk. Did you hear that? Are listening? So often humans just want to talk to get what they want to say out in the air. They pay no mind to the other person talking. They don’t listen. It is called discourse not a monologue…

Day 46
Sometimes I feel like I am floating in a sea hanging on a life preserver. I am not alone. Everywhere I look there is another author floating by on a boat, raft, kayak, or yacht. We are all clambering to get to the land of readers. Some maliciously pushing each other off their vessels and…

Day 20
Mean what you say and say what you mean. Own the words coming out of your mouth. Own your beliefs. None of this…”well… I…..uh…” No, stop that. Don’t give a solid, strong, authoritative, statement or speech then end it with…a lukewarm statement. Just don’t. Everything you said before is lessened now. When a self proclaimed…

Day 9
I used to carry a calendar with me everywhere. The year we won’t name made that a useless tool. Appointments were canceled and fun events were skipped. This year I am keeping an old fashioned daily diary. Not a journal where you recorded feelings and woes. More like a captain’s log. Today is _____ and…

Day 2
Laundry and tea. Turmeric Bliss tea to be exact. Dirty laundry is a private matter altogether. No one wants to see your dirty underwear or socks. I do not understand why people take to social media to air all their dirty laundry. Not just when they have a disagreement with some other human but when…
