Agenda

What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. (Hugh Mulligan in Touchstones, 14 August)

Yesterday I went to the library bookstore to purchase more books for my BookCrossing releases.  The shelf with the ten cent books was full.  I brought my canvas bag and filled it with ten books.  I found four novels and a daily devotional that I may want to read myself.

Attitude

Our attitudes have a tremendous and powerful influence upon every part of our being - physical as well as emotional. (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 123)

... right attitudes produce right effects ... (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 124)

Yesterday I made a trip to the library bookstore to visit with friends, Daniel and Joan. I took along a big canvas bag of book to donate. I didn't count the number I took. The bag was almost full and almost too heavy to carry. I purchased one boik about JavaScript.

I spent quite a bit of time using my new computer. I made the large monitor the primary display and the laptop screen the secondary display. At one point I had Facebook displayed on the large monitor and WordPad on the laptop monitor. I also created two new photo albums on Picasa. One is for photos of quilts and the other for photos of molas from Panama. I moved or copied some photos into the new albums.

Cyndi gave me a mobile phone carrying case that I can use to protect and carry my Oasis music player. There's a clip for fastening the case to my belt. This will come in handy when I go out walking or when I want to walk around the house or yard while listening to the device.

Keep Your Voice Down

It would save a great deal of heartbreak in this world if we simply learned to keep our voices down and if, when we had nothing good to say to a person, we did not say anything at all. (William Barclay, The Letters to the Galatians and Ephesians, p. 159)

After doing some business at the bank yesterday I stopped at the bookstore in the library. I found three CDs in almost new condition for $2.00 each. I bought: Sara Evans - Born to Fly; Kelly Willis - Easy and Luis Miguel - Complices. I'll give Melva the Luis Miguel album to play in her car. I hadn't visited the bookstore in several months because I heard a rumor from one of the volunteers that they were going to close. I enjoyed visiting with friends: Joan, Daniel and Ed while I was there.
