Decided to get some work done late this evening and some reflection. Thursday was a good one in terms of accomplishing goals. I would have liked to gotten another midday post done but was busy with traditional arts.

I’m looking forward to a good sunrise later this morning.

I did fit in unexpected some reading time on a book called “How to Know a Person” which I’m enjoying. Also did a few illustrations for later use on some of my work history posts.

Today is Valentines Day. We stopped spending money on this other long ago, except for the kids/grandkids. I guess we did things the first few years we were married but quickly realized we could do something the following week at half the price with half the crowd.

I have no knock on Valentines Day. Any day that helps spread and share love is a great day. So why not have a day a year dedicated to love. But maybe instead of buying those chocolates, and flowers and dinners and jewelry, we as couples share it with those who can’t afford the basics? Just a thought.

Random Thoughts of the Evening

• Decisions, you got to make them. The middle can band together or get swallowed by the edges.
• Strong wind has a scary sound to it.
• I see the desire to eliminate some departments in government by the current administration. I think they should tout the formation of their new one. The DOI (The Department of Injustice)
• Few things are as calming as petting a pet. Then enjoy it also.
• Having more flashbacks to the days of my youth lately. Sometimes a song, sometimes an article, sometimes the mention of an old name. Maybe the passing of an old favorite hotrod on the street. Sometimes it’s passing by an old landmark.
