Fear clouds opportunities, erases possibilities, and limits the ability to move beyond the place in which the mind is stuck. (Iyanla Vanzant, Faith in the Valley, p. 270)

Procrastination - not acting when the time is right - is a self-defeating behavior. (Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go, 27 August)

The more upset a person is with other people, and with circumstances, and the more satisfied he is with himself, the further he is from wisdom. (Anonymous in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 13 September)

Last night I discovered that there is a way to create a list of links to all of the postings I've made on GenForum in the past. The first thing I needed to do was figure out my "UserName" and "Password." I asked GenForum to send me an Email with the information. The message indicated that I had three accounts with the service. I have no idea what that's about. One of the three accounts matched information I'd recorded on a 3 x 5 card. I used this to sign on. I also don't understand how many components there are to GenForum. I know it is part of Genealogy.com and I think it is part of Ancestry.com. There's a chat service and it looks like that requires registration too. Does each component require registration? I created a posting on my "News" blog with a listing of the links to all of my GenForum postings.

Today I spent three hours, before noon, working in the yard and in the shed. I thought I needed to straighten the shed in order to look for flowerbed edging plastic. I needed about forty feet of edging to put inside the new flowerbed border we are making in the front yard. When I opened the left hand shed door I found the edging right away. I stopped the shed project and installed the edging to finish the flowerbed project. Afterwards I went back to the shed clean-up project. I discovered that the flooring on the right side of the shed is completely rotted out. As a matter of fact the table in the corner was actually standing on three legs. I have no idea whether the floor supports are bad or whether the entire floor will need to be replaced. I'll probably hire someone to help me with this project. I don't think I'm physically able to do it myself.
