RESPONDING TO RESPONSES TO MY POSTS

The following responses to my posts wound up in my spam mail box, which indicates they were computer generated; but, hey – I say there are some smart computers out there! So, here are some oldfashionedhomeschooling responses:

Said newyork:  “haha this was one funny post.  I laughed when I read it.”   (An August Cat Saga) 

That’s good for both of us, newyork.  The soul likes to be happy, and is made happy in countless ways – by laughter, by bringing mirth to another, giving and receiving, and bon accord exchange of thoughts.  We did that!  Sounds like we’re doing OK!  Thanks for sharing.

Said Sz138:  “Man if i ever saw two raccoons fighting over a blog it would be this one, nicely done my friend. Keep it up.   (Britains Got Talent – Susan Boyle)

Shucks, Sz138,   you’ve got me chuckling.  Thanks!.  Speaking of raccoons, we had quite a large one forging for food last night, out back.

Said Quiz:  “Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!”

Computer generated or not, Quiz, your cleverness caught my fancy.  Your colleague bought you lunch and I had a part in it?  Cool!

Said z.y:  “You most certainly have made this website into something that is eye opening and essential.”

Thanks, z.y.  I’m pleased you think so.  I promise to do my best to keep my blog a worthwhile stop.  Stop by often!

Said: k.w.  “Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.” 

 I read your mind?  Oh, quite the contrary, k.w.!  You’ve read MY mind!   I presume you meant “An August Cat Saga” for which I’ve lined up a talented young artist to do the pictures.  She’s just started a new job. Hopefully, and not too far down the road,  “An August Cat Saga” will be available on my site as an e-book.  And you are going to “be back?” – teriffic!

Said Vila:  “*Aw, this was a really nice post. An idea I would like to put in writing like this  additionally – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and by no means seem to get something done.”

I wonder, Vila, if procrastinating is not the most common habit shared by humans.  One thing I think, is certain;  we don’t so easily put off the things we love to do – I’m betting it is the same with you.  Try picking up a pen every day and writing just a paragraph.  Make it a habit.  Every day – just one paragraph.  Be creative!

Have you ever primed a pump?  Pouring a little water into the top of the pump when pumping wasn’t bringing the water up, did the trick in the old days.  Just a little water poured down  would bring water up to fill the pail, or glass; but, of course you had to pump as the water was going down.

Putting a few words on paper is kind of like priming the mind.  Write a sentence and see where it takes you.  If you really want to write, start by priming the mind.  Get that old subconscious to kick in for it is the “source of ideals, of aspiration, of the  imagination, and  is the channel through which to recognize our Divine Source and to come into an understanding of the source of power¹.” 

 Make it a point to write one paragraph a day.  Your subconscious  just might  surprise you and start leading the way.  If you wake up with a great idea — get up, immediately and write it down.  If you wait until you are ready to get up, I’m betting the idea will be GONE – forever!  It’s as if God is saying, I gave you the idea, you ignored it.  I’ll take it back!  But, when I learned to get right up and at my computer, the old brain was still primed – plenty.  Check it out and let me know if it works for you.

  If any of these respond – I’ll do more in the future.
