Day Six

Day Six-Take a walk in a nearby neighborhood. Enjoy the scenery. Admire people’s landscaping, their potted flowers, how they maintain their homes, even the teams they root for. My own neighborhood this week is sporting Hawkeyes ,Cyclones, and Huskers flags. One house even has a stone marker with Iowa State and the Cornhuskers on it with a notation-this house is divided! Whoa!

Back at School and Thirty days-Day Four

August was a blur and as I write this on September 1st, I can't believe I haven't posted in so long. I managed to squeeze in  a short vacation in to Okoboji, finish the rough draft of When Christmas Bells Are Ringing ( a novella based on my Back to Omaha characters), and start back to work. We've just completed our first full week of classes and the kids were great. Let's hope 'the honeymoon' continues. Day Four of Thirty Days-Thirty Ways to a Happier You Think back a few years to those favorite television programs you viewed as a kid. Then watch an episode or two. You can find them on TVLand or MeTV , Netflix or a number of other places. For me it was Gunsmoke, Gillian's Island, Here Come the Brides and Rifleman. You'll be pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it is to travel back in time, even if it is just for 30 minutes.You'll also be surprised at the lessons being taught, especially in The Rifleman. Give it a try!
