Microblogvember
Sometimes it’s hard to express what you think. Difficult to say what’s on your mind. Impossible to put words in writing. But if the past teaches us one thing it’s that this is the time when you should speak up.
Yesterday I watched an interview. The subject was a person of respectable age who spoke about life and death. His rationale behind his choices and bravery made a lasting impact. We have so much we can learn from the elderly.
Today didn’t start well. I had to force myself to finish the task at hand. When it’s not easy to reach a goal the only option is to give it your best and soldier on. Somedays, you will look back and think; actually, this was a good day. Today was such a day for me.
America has chosen its 46th president. In many ways, a historic outcome of an “interesting” electoral process to say the least. I do hope Biden can bring the country together. Bind Americans to a common purpose facing current health and economic challenges.
Weekend is here, finally time for some tinkering with the Mazda Mx-5 10th anniversary. Wash and clean, check the oil levels, inflate the tires. After a small fix to the center console hinge I am taking it for a spin. Nothing better than driving open-top on a beautiful autumn day!
Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are all limiting the spread of miss-information. And if the presidential elections show us one thing, it is how fast a thought spreads on social media regardless if it’s factual at all. But it’s puzzling me if we are treading in the right direction.
Under the pale light reflecting of the moon the lonely man in the streets tends to stoop when he walks. Facing the wind and rain, from nowhere to his destination.
the last post didn’t include the exact Microblogvember word, so here is a second attempt.
“Keep your head up high” when things get tough. But sometimes it’s better keeping stooped down. Don’t face adverse circumstances head-on. Don’t look at how little you have progressed or how far you still need to go. Keep plowing on, one step at a time. You will get there.
Extra measures will be in effect today at 10 PM to limit the spread of COVID in our country. I do wonder if we are getting closer to the end or still only near the beginning. But this open-ended crisis forces every country in a constant balancing act so much is clear.
Only looking at the millions of dollars spent on Facebook this year by both the republicans and democrats, the scale of the Presidential elections of the United States of America never fails to astonish me.
November 3 will be a decisive moment for the political future of the USA.
November, Autumn season. The transition from summer to winter is my favorite time of year. The vibrant fall colours are great for landscape photography and I enjoy my early morning walks even on cold and rainy days. Getting outside helps me concentrate, think and focus.
For quite some time I was thinking about writing more often, so Microblogvember 2020 came at a great time. It will also help with some of the more dreary days during this strange times. Looking forward to the challenge.
