Today’s post, specifically, is addressed to all who’ve managed to find my site; especially those who have left personal messages. Forgive me for being a month absent from my blog, and from not having responded to messages, and for bearing with me – which was my plea back on December 21st, 2010. The plain and simple truth is I’m just an old fogy (old fashioned and highly conservative) who learned to type on a manual typewriter a long time ago – back when brains were wired for a simpler way of life.
Let me memorize and recite a poem or the Gettysburg Address; or go back in time 50 years and get the cows up at milking time – I’m happy. For me, such is a cup of tea; but knee deep in computer technology – quite plainly – is not where I yearn to be. Most likely I shall always want it to be like once was: buy an electrical apparatus, file the instructions or pitch them. Plug in the radio, or fan, or whatever, and turn it on. Tune in a station, set the fan on low, medium or high, etc. and go on with all the other things the day held in store.
But, now, instruction manuals are a mix of English and gibberish! Spend an hour or half a day reading and learn practically …… NOTHING! Well, perhaps I exaggerate a trifle, but, oh, how I miss the simplicity of before computers and digital gadgets! Now, if I can just learn how to hear what I recorded once – several years ago on my new digital recorder that a tech employee talked me into buying when all I really wanted was the old type of recorder! Well, you know the old adage: “live and learn”.
For those comments that specifically required my reply – my apology in not getting the job done. If you are still on board, please send me the same again, and let me acquit my conscience by doing it right – this time.
I was heartened by the many responses to “The Timeless Principle Behind Susan Boyle’s Success”. There will be more posts on that same venue as that is the subject most dear to my heart; and the one in which we as humans can become so immersed – woefully or happily.
Of course we want our immersion to be one of great satisfaction. That’s where we desire to spend our lives. We don’t want to feel as if our lives are being bushwhacked by misery at every turn. If misery is our lot in life, it is because we have allowed it by how we have reacted to our own unique life experiences.
But, really, the choice is ours. All we have to do is rewire our subconscious minds – if they have been sabotaged by secular thinking. Rewiring the subconscious actually is a very conscious activity; once the awareness is acknowledged and the knack is acquired, life can start opening up to bring our heart’s desires as the subconscious is trained to more and more take rightful control of our lives.
The world wants, and waits for right thinking. So, stay on board – “the best is yet to come!”
Messages thus far received have easily divided into two distinct categories. Obviously, some are intended to attract traffic back to the originating site. Many of those are written in a manner that identifies them as computer generated – by odd placement of words much like those of one just learning the English language. Whether computer generated or sincerely written – I’ve read every message, over time, and just a few minutes ago – alas, managed to delete all of them without intending too.
The other category of comments – which totals not as many as computer generated – were sincere and heartfelt people comments on different ones of my posts. They were heartfelt sent, and on this end – have been heartwarming and appreciatively received. Especially, do I request: keep the people comments coming and keep in mind: ‘though I am an old fogy, I am a people person. Sincerity makes a big hit with me.
Some of the latter comments plaintively said, “answer me” and that I intended to do. I promise to do better in the future. However, as I said on December 21st, bear with me. I think, finally, I’ve caught on enough to be more consistent and to not get halted by tech difficulties and life’s unexpected interruptions – such as March was full of.
On Monday next, I shall post what could have more timely been posted yesterday. It is another memory from my long ago youth – a treasured memory of the ONE time that I was able to fool my father on April Fool’s Day. So, if you like to see the law of balance applied at least once in a while, then, stop in on Monday morning, April 4th to see How I – Finally – April Fooled Dad.
Today’s ending verse comes from a long poem, “Rabbi Ben Ezra”, by Robert Browning which I found by googling “the best is yet to be”. The line – remembered from high school Literature class just popped into my mind – a few paragraphs up as a fitting end to today’s post. It comes from a long poem by Browning.
Twelve vocabulary words are listed from today’s post. Keep in mind that a child’s acquiring a good vocabulary cultivates the mind. Teaching children to love learning useful new words helps pave the way through life in a more expedient way and brings culture to their mental processing. Some of the words may seem difficult for younger children. Offer them anyway to give them opportunity to at least begin developing an affinity to them. Then, let them select what they want to learn, use, and retain. But, of course, make sure they at least hear each word spoken, and hear each used in a sentence. Older children can look the words up in a dictionary and help convey enthusiasm in the household by using the words at opportunity throughout the week.

The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith, 'A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!
by Robert Browning (1812-1899)
Born in England, Browning’s education was mostly acquired from the 6000 book library of his banking clerk, father. His mother, a devout evangelical Christian; also, was an accomplished pianist. Learn more by googling: “grow old along with me” by Robert Browning,

Thanks for your post on this web site. From my own experience, periodically softening right up a photograph might provide the digital photographer with a little bit of an inspired flare. Oftentimes however, that soft blur isn’t exactly what you had in your mind and can often times spoil a normally good picture, especially if you consider enlarging this.
