People can, and do, squander hours of their lives in thought streams that produce nothing of value at all. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 334-5)
Never be completely idle, but be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or working some way for the common good. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 19, p. 48)
We must examine our outward and inward affairs and set them both in order, for both are necessary for our spiritual progress. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 19, p. 48)
... look closely at yourself and your very personal aspirations, and appreciate the absurdity of running your life on the basis of comparisons with others ... (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings, p. 76)

It Doesn't Concern Me
Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. (Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, p. 57)
We are also very much in control of how we feel about the circumstances of our lives, whether we think we have it good or bad has a great deal to do with the details of each day. (Karen Casey, Keepers Of The Wisdom, 26 January)
Simply realizing that another person cares about our burdens can release us to see beyond them. (Johann Christoph Arnold, Escape Routes, p. 18)
Do not be drawn into other people's affairs nor entangle yourself with the concerns of people in high places. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 21, p. 52)

Yesterday I stopped at libraries in both counties. In the afternoon I attended the computer club meeting at the Bowie Senior Center. The topic for discussion was eReaders. Several members brought their devices. Mr. Evans went to the front with his Kindle. There was a lively and informative exchange about the various models.
In the evening, by accident, I noticed a message on the computer screen with a button to click that turned on the Chrome browser feature that allows me to click on a website hyperlink to generate an Email. I still don't understand how to find that button again if I need it. I tested with the genealogy society homepage and it worked.
