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.

I didn't post anything to my blogs for three days. I'm involved in other things that are more pressing. Cyndi and I are working on everything involved in buying and setting up a new computer system for me. Fortunately she was willing to become my Information Technology (IT) Department. As of last night most of the issues seem to be resolved. I'm certainly looking forward to having good color rendition.

For the first time in my memory the purchase of one bank by another bank worked to my benefit. Yesterday I was able to close a Certificate of Deposit that matured at Wells Fargo. Their home office is in Portland, OR. I have never been in Wells Fargo bank. Because they purchased the Wachovia bank I was able to go to a local branch a couple of miles from the house to close the account and get a check for the balance. There was lots of red tape and phone calls. I was there about one hour. The wait was worth it.

This morning I'm listening to a jazz album by the group Euge Groove. This album has some singing on it.
