A Day Book . . .

 

FOR TODAY, October 6th, 2026

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ...

October is really showing off. Isn't it beautiful?  Its supposed to be really windy early this morning with the wind chill going below zero, so we may lose a few of these.

I AM THINKING ...

I am so grateful that things went well yesterday for my girl. And also that she is now cancer free. That is what they told her. I was able to speak to her last night and she has messaged me this morning already. She is looking forward to coming home. Her dad and sister are bringing her in a cup of tea and a biscuit from Tim Hortons when they come in this morning. She was looking forward to that.

I AM ALSO THINKING ...

I took myself off of that Plenty of Fish site. I had one guy messaging me a bit, but he wanted me to give him my real phone number. He lived not too far from here. I wouldn't give it to him because I wanted to know more about him first. He did try, but I am just not ready for this.  Not in any way. It was making me far too anxious. So I took myself off and I won't be pursuing it again.

STANDING FOR SOMETHING, by Gordon B Hinckley

10 neglected virtues that will heal our hearts and homes

In this national bestseller, the late president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon B. Hinckley, has created a classic look at the values that can change our world--and how to stand up for them. Drawing on anecdotes from his much-admired life of faith and service, as well as examples from American culture today, he examines ten virtues that have always illuminated the path to a better world: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift and industry, gratitude, optimism, and faith. He then shows how the two guardians of virtue--marriage and the family--can keep us on that path, even in difficult times. 

Standing for Something is an inspiring blueprint for what we all can do--as individuals, as a nation, and as a world community--to rediscover the values and virtues that have historically made us strong and that will lead us to a brighter future.

I have read this before. It is not a bad thing to review something inspiring like this every now and then.
