May 20, 2025 a thought for today, Listen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf. Arapaho and Cherokee Proverb

The first upload for yesterday was “my choice”, another of my “clouds” series. 

The next upload was “textures”. I see a lot of texture in the rock as well as in the greenery. 

The last upload for yesterday was “my shoes today”. They weren’t actually for today but are ready for any day that I need them for dress up.

Life today. The bulletin it done and sent out. The newsletter is done. Tomorrow I will do the envelopes and labels. Things will be ready for printing on Thursday. I have to start on it later than usual on Thursday since I have a early morning doctors appointment first. 

Today is a food pantry day so I was glad to put finishing touches on things before I get ready to leave for church. 

....Back from pantry. It was a day at pantry where everything went perfectly. The check-in was smooth and quick and the trip through the grocery room went well too. Not to mention that we had almost our limit on visitors too.

The first upload for today is “something loud”. I think truck can be loud particularly when they need to honk the horn. 

We have been having a mild sprinkling of rain kind of day. There were no storms just gray clouds and drips of rain. 

The rain sometimes slows down my photo choices so I used the archives. Today I was able to get one of the images on my way home. 

The next upload is another of the “my choice” as well as another of the clouds series. 

The word is also. A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories. Honore de Balzac.  What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also. Julius Caesar.  Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity. Hippocrates.  The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. Harriet Ann Jacobs.  Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power. James Madison.  Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained. Lao Tzu.  If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. Saint Augustine.  Remember that bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, as I have said, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord. Saint Ignatius.  Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings. Heinrich Heine.  People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided. Paracelsus.  Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.

Joseph Addison.  Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly. Plutarch.  

Next for today is an upload for “architecture”. This is an elementary school that has been a fixture of the westside for many years and has recently been closed. 

Article: This sounds like an interesting process 3D printing for medical purposes. Awesome. The human body part made from a 3D printer can make like more comfortable for many people. These parts can be customized for the particular needs of each individual person. Prophetic limbs can be tailored and fitted with adaptable control systems to every need. There is an affordability to them also. Computer-aided design software is “transferred to a 3D printer and constructed layer by layer”. The article touched on this statement: “rapidly evolving technology provides new options not just for prosthetics but for implants, surgical planning, drug manufacturing and other health care needs”. The printers have the ability to use a “wide range of materials”. I hadn’t paid much attention to possible news articles so learned here that “printing in health care started in the 1980s”. Computer controlled laser beams “solidify liquid material to specified 3D shapes”. The first experiments were to create structures that “support cell growth” as replacement bladders as one of the “durable body parts”.  In 2013 the first “3D-bioprinted liver tissue” was generated that could lead to creating organs and tissues for transplanting. Prosthetics at affordable prices have already been created in custom-made “devices”. Hip and replacements and spine implants a precise fits are already being used, even facial implants after accidents are possible. The article went on to say that researchers are developing 4D printing which will allow for “objects that can change shape over time” as the body needs. All of this technology can lead to shorter operating times and fewer complications as well as lower costs. I learned that even medications are being aided in the 3D arena they can be controlled as to dosages and “delivery systems”. The article did want to state that in 3D printing for health care there are still “challenges and opportunities” that  remain. It mentions that even AI may combine with the 3D processes. (That one worries me personally.) 

This is one of the days I have a fourth upload this one is “leading line”. I like the curve in this sidewalk. It seems to be a more relaxed kind of leading line. 

It is going to be something from the freezer for dinner.
