A Problem With Thinking And Listening –
A parent at my current age, my father, was still telling me, “sometimes we think too much” and “don’t forget to listen”. Now I spend a lot of time thinking about why I don’t get a hearing aid. I don’t like what I am hearing.
A Power To Change One –
A tax. No income tax. Why? It is too complicated and impossible to enforce. It is much easier to control businesses than it is to control people. Just think about that.
A Front Porch –
A back porch. Rocking chairs. Roses and daylilies. A dog to keep the rabbits from eating my crocuses. Dogwood and Red Bud trees. A wood stove in the basement underneath the kitchen. Lots of windows. A bird feeder. A birdbath. An outdoor cat. Who could ask for more?
A Beer –
A celebration. Rejoice and be happy. Good news must be passed on to whomever you meet. It must be shared. Let them know. Happiness is possible. It is a gift to be appreciated. Show that. Something to think about.
A Hobby No More –
A relaxing activity. It started with my mother who couldn’t resist it. She would complain when I started a 1500 piece puzzle. Cooking and cleaning would have to wait. It was time well spent together. A special table, a special stool, and a special place near a window all gave way to my wife’s hobby. More time for posting, research, cooking, and the patio rocking chair.
A Favorite Candy –
A difficult decision. Something with dark chocolate. It could be almond, coconut, peppermint, or lemon. I’m thinking. Take time to think. Thinking takes time. Can I get back to you?
A Database –
A place to store information. The most important invention in my lifetime. Some would say it is the computer which is necessary to do a database. We can argue about that. It was the database that made the computer important. Knowledge shall increase.
A Time Out –
A break from breaking news. Do we really need to know? Bad things are happening all over. What can you do about it? Listen and think about it. They are asking for money. Who do you give it to? Who can you trust? Give me a break. From the news.
A Time To Learn Something –
A day with sunshine. A good cup of coffee. Two soft boiled eggs. Meeting someone with a smile. Asking a question. Learning something new. Socrates believed you can learn something from anyone. Happiness is learning. Therefore teaching should make others happy. Ask a question. Answer a question. It will make someone happy. An ideal situation.
A Passage of Time –
A perspective on life. The test of time. Any new product must be tested. A word not found in many bibles. Test your Bible. One has the word 381 times. This is a test.
