I have the day off and weather permitting I will cut up some trees. I have a few dead cedars in the front that need to come down. I also have a Ham radio coax that needs to be brought into the shack and tested. It should be good just been putting it off.
Thought for the Day
Greatness is not for the chosen few but for the few that choose.
Autumn Is Starting To Show Up
I started another post to start a new season. My wife and I did 2.9 miles today, a nice cool 70 degrees out. Took about 43 min. Not much on the agenda today I was thinking about cutting down some trees but it may wait until its a bit cooler.
Quote of the Day
“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.” -Samuel Adams
Happy Birthday America
July forth, a very important day in American History. Our country has had many trials and setbacks. But America is still here and still strong. Its been a beacon to millions over the years, its created more wealth for its citizens than any other nation on earth. I am proud to be an American.
So Happy 243rd Birthday America may you have many more.
My Garden
Started my garden again this year. I had to put up a fence to keep the deer and rabbits out but with that done its up and growing.
Word of the Day
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. syn- socialism.
More Work
We had a bad storm with high winds come through this last Saturday the 13th of April. It blew down a tree next to the garage and I will have to cut it up for firewood this week.
We are lucky that it didn’t do any damage or take out our power line.
To Everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
As I head into the Holidays I am reminded that not everyone celebrates Christmas, I am wondering what people do that don’t celebrate the birth of Christ. I am guilty of not always thinking of Christmas as celebrating the birth of Christ growing up, and even into my adulthood. But I guess many or most people find Christ in their own way.
For everyone out there that will be alone this Christmas please understand, your not alone, you never have been. Look around, there are many places and people that will share their time and talk to you. There are places to go and just be near others, talk or not, and Christ is always there whether you want to talk or not, your choice. Find peace within yourself and look for the good in others. You’ll find it in most people, and those that you can’t, walk on by them and leave them to their own life.
As for next year, work on things that will improve your life. Reducing the things that bring stress into your life. Weeding out the drama that others bring into your life. Also look to your own way of doing things and interacting with others. No one is perfect and don’t expect them to be this includes yourself. A bit of rambling from me but what I am trying to say is find peace with yourself, your family and friends. Don’t let others problems become yours if you can. Let the stress wash off of you and enjoy the day and give thanks.
God Bless to all
Merry Christmas
Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner
Why do we have a Thanksgiving Holiday? What is Thanksgiving to the people of the United States? For my family we come together when we can to share a meal and be with family. We catch up on how everyone is doing. We remember the ones we have lost.
A lot of people enjoy the time off work and the football games on the TV. Also some people can’t take the time off. They have to work because they have no choice. For a lot of stores its become the busiest time of the year.
Whatever your situation this year take a moment and let the people close to you know what they mean to you. Give thanks that you have made it another year and you can work on another.
