It’s getting HOT. This feels like summer, I hope it won’t be this hot for the next two months. At the same time the sun is beautiful and everything is bright and new.
I needed to pick up some meds at Kroger so it was another stop there. Going to Kroger helps make the step counter to go up on the Fitbit clip on and really isn’t too painful.
I couldn’t think of a way to create an image of “hot” to fit the theme for yesterday of “h”. So I settled for this image of a hose after I shot several other items beginning with “h”.With the above out of the way, I got back to working on creating a new contact list on each of my email accounts. Yesterday I discovered that I lost my years long email service. I found that it was connected to a telephone system that we switched from several months ago. I didn’t realize the two were connected and that that email was not free. I will be using a new email and have to set it up. I am setting up two so that if I have a problem with one I will have a backup. That is taking some time.
I am also trying to keep the plants all watered. It seems we are having a bout of feast or famine with the rain for our personal bits of nature.
So those above-mentioned projects are adding to my list of check offs for the day. Added to the list are a few church related projects that have popped up today too.
The word today is heart. The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart, Rumi. Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches not only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it so much, Aristotle. The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls to, Vincent Van Gogh. Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts, Charles Dickens. Wherever you go, go with all your heart, Confucius. The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart.. The light which fills the heart is the light of God, which is pure and separate from the light of intellect and sense, Rumi. To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order; we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right, Confucius. Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths, Rumi. Only from the heart can you touch the sky, Rumi. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart, Francis of Assisi. The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences, Henry Ward Beecher. The heart has reasons that reason does not understand, Jacques-Benigne Bossuet.
Here’s an interesting article about the leavings of the pandemic. How many places across the world will be doing this. History is happening before our eye (I think it always is but this is monumental). There are the masks, car parades, and press briefings. Now it is not only the COVID-19 but the racial inequities that are making this such a huge time in history. This brings up use of pepper spray burns, boarded up windows, and police unrest. The Ohio History Connection and the Columbus Historical Society are asking for items recording these times for their collections, photos, videos, essays, drawings, etc. While these things are fresh in peoples minds would be the ideal time to donate them. The article stated “.....from the mundane, essays on working from home to medical professionals’ accounts.” In past historical collections it has been noted that it is difficult to find items that describe the human and emotional side of things. The Columbus Museum of Art is also looking for such things for planned art presentations.
It is going to be hot dogs and mac and cheese for dinner tonight.
Joy
