As someone who should be setting a good example, I'm a failure. I have however, been engaged in technology!
Just yesterday, I got to meet with Bob, Terry and Ban Lang from Wellstone to help them work on their building technology plan. They are proving to be real leaders in their school community. Way to go!
Ennui...is that the right word for what I'm feeling and experiencing? I think I'll check it out on this great dictionary source I discovered serendipitously: http://www.visuwords.com. It defines words in a graphic interface that's quite amazing!
Ennui doesn't work...I'm not bored...maybe overwhelmed would be better.
I have done Things 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 23, 24, 27, 29, 35, and 36. And I will write about them, after I paint two rooms, get my floors carpeted and assemble and fill 7 bookcases in my home library. I better go home and get busy!
I like to explore all kinds of information and how it impacts our lives, but for the next few months I am going to focus on the impact of the election of Trump as president. For millions of Americans who are in distress (that includes me) I'm going to explore how we can cope with the emotions engendered and take positive actions to make a difference--first in our own lives and then in the lives of our fellow citizens and in the future of our nation. Let's begin!
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.
