Thoughts for the day

These fantastic fall days are far from boring. There is nothing boring about them.

While I was doing the reading for today’s discussion group on the Middle East, one of the authors explained that there is a difference between a tactic and a policy. I realized that the difference is what is driving me up the wall. Most of my life has been guided by policy. To change the policy, there should be a better policy to replace it.  Our current administration seems to believe that tactics are the far better way to govern. Sanctions are a tactic, the new ballroom is a tactic, curtailing legal, peaceful protests is a tactic. This administration doesn’t have a clearly worded policy to back up the tactic. We need our leaders to develop policy that will enhance future generations.

I am do glad that through all my ‘treatments’ for various health issues, I am getting stronger and more energetic with each passing week. I’m getting a good nights sleep every night…and my iwatch says each night is another excellent night of sleep. I only get up once a night and wake up around 6am every day. I had been taking a nap every afternoon…assuming it was part of getting older. Now I don’t take that nap. I haven’t taken a nap for over a month.  The treatments must be working well. Yea!!! 

Animals from Native American Legends…NEW

For Native American peoples, animals are seen as partners and guides, not just as part of the background.

Over the centuries, animals have appeared in sacred stories, acting as messengers or teachers from the spirit world. Tribes learned essential lessons from how animals lived, hunted, traveled, or shared food.

By carefully watching animal behavior, people developed systems of respect and harmony, encouraging everyone to treat nature and each other with dignity and care.

Totem animals are much more than decorations or lucky charms in Native tradition. For many families or whole tribes, a totem is a spiritual animal relative—a helper and protector passed down through the generations.

Identifying with that animal means acting with respect toward it, sometimes even having rules against harming it.

Special ceremonies and collective prayers help keep this connection alive and balanced, assisting groups to celebrate their shared ancestors and unique identities. 

Interesting facts…

The Seven Wonders of the World

The Seven Wonders of the World have captivated people’s imaginations for centuries. From the Great Pyramid of Giza to the Colosseum in Rome, these architectural marvels showcase the ingenuity and craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. 

Random Thoughts…

Dear Math folks, I am sick of trying to find your X just except that she's gone. Move on dude.

If you drive in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation, you are technically slowing down.

If you didn't have that voice in your head, you wouldn't be able to read this.

Someone could be stopping time, then unstopping it, and we wouldn't know.
