Today was a typical day of getting up, preparing lunch, eating breakfast and going to work then coming home. All these things are personally typical, but life is typically chaotic in a broader, global sense. Some things you can control like yourself, while other stuff, not so much. You do the best you can to make the world a better place. Hopefully good works will always be a typical part of the day. I would like typical and routine over the alternative, I don’t mind boring.

Daily Prompt – No Bringing Back Dinosaurs, Not Even One!
All it took was one Jurassic Park movie to make me realize that no dinosaurs should ever be brought back. Not even the “cute” ones because that is a slippery slope that we should never slide down. They are best studied from the safety of paleontology and science books. Dinosaurs should remain extinct. We do however have birds that are a descendant of the raptor.
To quote Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) from the first Jurassic Park movie, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
The Answer Is Dogs
We are a dog house. Our home has been blessed by our heavenly dogs, Mikey and Cody. A couple of years ago, we brought home a shelter dog named Frankie. All of our boys have been very good boys. Now, we don’t hate cats, but we love dogs. We also enjoy videos of doggos doing crazy things on the Internet.
This is Frankie boy dog.
Time Flies When You Are Having Fun
I tend to get tunnel-visioned when it comes to the things I am interested in. When I am focused on doing something that fascinates me, I do lose all track of time and perhaps space. The one activity I can point to that sucks me in the most is blogging. Yep, blogging is my prime hobby and my greatest distraction. Everyone has things that make them lose track of time, and it is OK, sometimes.
Arise and Asleep
My workday begins at 8:00 AM. So, I need to be up at 6:15 or so to make it to work on time or earlier. My alarm to wake up is set for 5:45 AM. I go to bed around 10:30 or 11:00 PM, depending on how sleepy I get. Now on Saturdays no alarm is set, and I slumber until I get hungry for breakfast. On Sunday’s I wake up around 7:30 to be at church. It’s all about routine and being flexible. Considering there are two of us, to get ready and to get going.
Something About Gratitude
I show my gratitude by thanking those who help me. Part of expressing gratitude is returning the favor to others who have come to my aid as much as I can. Being a good person can be a way to express the gifts and talents you have been given. Gratitude is something you focus in on to be a more complete person. Always be willing to serve as you are being served. Loving one another and having a good attitude is a good thing to practice too.
