When Dogs Can Fly by Dr. Dinar
Well, they did say it would get crazy at the end.
And if you don't think things are getting crazy, then you're living in an entirely different reality than I am.
Although I will admit it's been crazy for quite some time now.
Like about the last 10 years or so.
At least that's the way it seems anyway.
And we were always hoping it was the end but alas, it wasn't.
Nope, not even close to the end.
Don't Quit
.From Recaps Archives
DON’T QUIT
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest, if you must, but don’t quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.
Keep Watering Your Bamboo Tree

Keep Watering Your Bamboo Tree - Eric Aronson
In the Far East, there is a tree called the Chinese bamboo tree. This remarkable tree is different from most trees in that it doesn't grow in the usual fashion. While most trees grow steadily over a period of years, the Chinese bamboo tree doesn't break through the ground for the first four years. Then, in the fifth year, an amazing thing happens - the tree begins to grow at an astonishing rate. In fact, in a period of just five weeks, a Chinese bamboo tree can grow to a height of 90 feet. It's almost as if you can actually see the tree growing before your very eyes.
Well, I'm convinced that life often works in a similar way. You can work for weeks, months and years on your dream with no visible signs of progress and then, all of the sudden, things take off. Your business becomes profitable beyond your wildest dreams. Your marriage becomes more vibrant and passionate than you ever thought it could be. Your contribution to your church, social organization and community becomes more significant than you have ever imagined.
AND THEN IT IS WINTER
.AND THEN IT IS WINTER Author Unknown
You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.
But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
10 “Holidays” to Celebrate in January
.10 “Holidays” to Celebrate in January
And you thought the holidays were over! The good news is that while all the high-pressure ones have come to an end, the fun ones never stop — unless you want them to, that is. But with everything from Science Fiction Day to Dress Up Your Pet Day, why would you? Here are 10 extra holidays to celebrate in January.
January 2: World Introvert Day
Even over Zoom, the holidays can be exhausting — especially for introverts. If you’re still feeling drained by all the social interactions that come with Christmas and New Year’s Eve, take World Introvert Day to recover by your lonesome. German psychologist Felicitas Heyne came up with the idea in 2011, making this the 10-year anniversary of the rare holiday that’s solitary by design.

It’s almost that time of year again when we travel from near and far to spend time with friends and family for the holidays.

But where did these traditions come from? Hold onto your hats because Christmas is one of many Christian holidays with an origin that’s going to surprise you.
A New Christmas Story.....
.A NEW CHRISTMAS STORY . . .
This story is better than any greeting card.
The old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn't been
anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. It was just another day to
him. He didn't hate Christmas, just couldn't find a reason to celebrate. He
was sitting there looking at the snow that had been falling for the last
hour and wondering what it was all about when the door opened and a homeless
man stepped through.
Instead of throwing the man out, Old George as he was known by his
customers, told the man to come and sit by the heater and warm up. "Thank
you, but I don't mean to intrude," said the stranger. "I see you're busy,
I'll just go."

A Brief History of How Nutcracker Dolls Became A Christmas Symbol for the Ages
A Brief History of How Nutcracker Dolls Became A Christmas Symbol for the Ages
Around the start of December, it’s not unusual to see decorative nutcrackers on store shelves, arranged on mantelpieces, hanging from Christmas trees, and even decorating holiday sweaters. For some, their colorful outfits, hand-painted faces, and tufts of white hair are the very definition of Christmas cheer. But have you ever wondered how these nutcrackers got to be so popular, and why people usually only bring them out at Christmastime? The answer involves German literature, a Russian ballet, and lots of generous American G.I.s.
From Basic to Beautiful
Humans have been using tools to crack nuts for thousands of years. The earliest designs were merely two pieces of wood joined by leather or a metal hinge, but as the centuries progressed, artisans started to create figurative designs for nutcrackers, such as brass crocodiles in India and cast-iron squirrels in England.

"The Square Peg, The Round Hole and the Lathe" by Ron Giless 12-24-2020
."The Square Peg, the Round Hole and the Lathe" by Ron Giles - 12.24.20
Entry Submitted by Ron Giles at 2:28 PM EST on December 24, 2020
You can’t fit a square wooden peg in a round hole, unless…., you knock off the edges with a lathe. You can knock off the edges of the square peg with your lathe tools and make it fit precisely. It is done all the time. To do it with people is a bit harder.
It’s not so easy when the square peg is the, fully alive, Cabal debt-based, financial system of greedy bankers. The only good thing about this OLD system lays in the core functionality that supports its use for financial transactions within the economy.
If it weren’t for the edges it might still work. But it is going away as obsolete. We have a new Master Wood Worker and a perfect lathe that is a Miracle Worker of a tool. The QFS.
