#WednesdayWisdom: Such is the folly of human beings.

Standard

You may have noticed that there was no post yesterday and no Chat Tuesday. Maybe you didn’t.

And that’s fine too.

My back is still bothering me, and yesterday was worse than Monday. Maybe because I did too much Monday because I felt better.

Such is the folly of human beings.

So today, I decided to take advantage of all the high-tech and low-tech solutions around me. I’m using voice input–as we literally speak, at least in my case–to write this post, which I’ve not really done before. It’s a little bit of a mess, and I have to keep stopping to fix the punctuation.

For example, I said a little hit or miss, not a little bit of a mess, but everyone thinks they’re a writer. Including google.

Still, it’s kind of fun and very twenty-first century to be telling my technology what to say and seeing it appear in front of me.

Sorta.

There are lots of things we have at our disposal, already available that can make our lives easier. I mean sometimes it tries to decide where the sentence should end and where there should be a comma or where there shouldn’t be a comma even though it’s totally wrong but it’s still better than trying to type when your back hurts.

That previous sentence was a prime example but I fixed it now so you can’t see what a mess it was but trust me it was a mess. A I may be smart but it’s still learning.

Anyway, that’s it for me today. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

#WednesdayWisdom into #ThursdayThoughts: Enjoy an unexpected moment

Standard

NOTE: Or an unexpected post. Somehow this didn’t publish yesterday, so today you will get this post AND a ten word photo prompt! Woo-hoo?!

It’s sunny again, and pretty warm, I think, or warm enough for Chicago in February. We’re hunkered here on a Wednesday, one where the end of winter is in sight, and maybe, just maybe this pandemic won’t last forever.

There was supposed to be more construction noise today, but so far it’s been quiet. So I decided to notice that, notice the absence of clanging and buzzing and drilling, of disembodied voices drifting.

It can happen anywhere: an unexpected tableau through a train window; a glimpse of a bird at a stoplight. Take that moment and observe it, absorb it, welcome it.

Every break, no matter how quick or how small, is a break. Take the most from it.

And have a great Wednesday.
