MEMORIES

Like a favorite sweater -

memories warm us when

we are cold - but at some

point we take that sweater off.

It goes into a closet or a bottom

drawer and memories come off

dates and places and drop out

of site into closets and bottom

drawers, but some days we are

cold….

Thought for today: 

“Incredibly, inordinately, devastatingly, immortally, calamitously, hearteningly, adorably beautiful.”  

Rupert Brooke of 

the actress 

Cathleen Nesbitt

If you're married

give your spouse 

that kind of 

a compliment.

JUST LISTEN

Just listen…. Just open up your ears -

just listen to the sound of music from

everywhere …. Kids walking by ....

Birds having a flash mob concert  above

a just harvested corn field .... Elevator

music - mall music - street music ....
Music .... Music .... Music .... Music ....
Everywhere .... Just listen .... Listen ....

HINTS AND INTUITIONS

If we asked someone to empty

out the contents of their souls -

onto the dining room table -

we’d see smigeons of hints

that this someone knows

there is a God lurking in our

loneliness and there are lots

of intuitions of beauty in all

the moments and memories

of the human soul. Many ….

Thought for today: 

“Pursue, keep up with, circle round and round your life …. Know your own bone: gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw at it still.”

MY  BLOG

Various people down through the years have sent messages to me about starting a blog - working with a blog - and various other “How To” questions about blogs.

I still don’t know how to process  their questions - mainly because they must think by putting a comment into my blog - I can respond directly back to them.  There is no e-mail address, etc. so I can’t respond - as of now.

We’re getting a new guy here next month who is tech savvy - so I’ll ask him some of the questions people sent to me.

To start a blog - you can do what I did.  A guy named Norm Constantine suggested I start a blog - so I said, “Show me.” He set this one up for me. He showed me how to do blog spots.

I started on June 17, 2009.  This is blog piece #6924.

So to start a blog - a question I’ve been asked - find someone who will set up a blog for you.

This one didn’t cost me a penny. It’s still free.  I know some  people make money etc. with their blog. I don’t.

As time went on I learned how to put pictures and short YouTube videos onto pieces.  The screen menu showed me just how to do different things.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.  Study different blogs and come up with a blog site you would like to imitate.

Go for it.

I hope someone who sends me  their requests for information will find this short document.  I am not dissing them.

Thanks,

Andy Costello
