Jan 1, 2024: Arrived like all the other days with a …. quiet pull.
January 1, 2024 (0 draft)
I met the lovely Barbara at the Tim Horton’s at the end of our street. I will tell how we met soon but first let me get to why. I had decided to do things to make 2024 the best year ever, anywhere, ever, over all time. I believed then therefor that I would need a push or pull out of my condo to become part of the community. No small ask. I began by going outside. However, before that, I went to the basement to take out the recycling. Then back inside the condo I announced my trip outdoors. Keith picked up the can of dried beans and seeds I had found weeks ago in the cupboard and said: “Here. Take these and go feed the ducks”.
“Yes. Yes. Wonderful Idea.” I agreed. So I took the can and wheeled out of the building, turning south towards the bridge that brings me to the Waterfront trail where the pigeons, ducks, and geese hang out. …

January 5th. Friday
I baked a lemon loaf today; Keith helped. Last night was Keith’s Birthday. We had a pizza at Domino’s on Gardner’s Road with Les and Eileen. The pizza was blah, but we didn’t care as we were enjoying the evening. The waitress flirted with Keith and got him a brownie with chocolate and caramel sauce, which he loved. We arrived 10 minutes early which fits into my upgrading and coping mechanisms with going from being late to arriving early whenever we have plans. I have trouble getting ready on time so I am fixing this. Arriving 10 minutes early signals my trouble with feeling rushed and arriving late are over. Problem solved. Check and Mate.
While we are on the topc of self improvement I’d like to give you another example of how I change my framework. On our drive over to Boston Pizza to meet Les and Elean for Keiths birthday party I did some swearing about some matter that I feel strongly about, using the f word. After some but decided to remove it from my chatter and general talk as a strategy to omprove my vocabulary. So I removed all the swearing circuits from my plasma bubble. Let’s see how that works.
It is cloudy with a bit of snow going on outside today and Keith has just gone for his afternoon nap. Well thats it for today. Talk to you soon. Love Lisa.
How to Help Others
I guess I want to learn how to help others. But how can I help you when my own life is such a difficult thing? Is there an answer? Can I find it? The best thing I have to offer is to listen but you are not here. So I will listen to my own problem. I have constipation. More fruit. Juice helps too. Once you don’t have the problem of constipation you can move on to the next thing which is writing. I also need a shower. The body is difficult vehicle but it is also your only vehicle. So take good care of it.
January 6, 2024 Saturday
Good Morning, today is Saturday, and we are doing one big load of laundry. It is in the dryer right now. Takes 60 minutes. Kind of a relaxed day. Dark outside. I will put the camera together and go outside to take a shot. Right now I will work on uploading my recent photos to the website but first I will configure the Automator. The other thing I would like to do is order two new lenses. A Telescopic and a Pancake lens. Okay I am off to do one of those jobs.

January 24, Wednesday
So it is January 24th. Fourteen days have passed in the blink of an eye.Is this a diary? Yes. So this page should be private. Today I’ve been thinking of closing my website. It is paid up till July 21st 2024. Domain renewal and privacy protection is 36$ while Blue Host Web Hosting renewal will not be due till July 25, 2025 and the renewal is for three years at 359.64.
I went over the details today because I wonder why I am doing all this. Is it worth my time?
Okay what has been going on? Keith has repaired the tail of the airplane and has nothing much to do so he is watching video’s on airplanes. I’m feeling a bit neutral. Body is tiered of being in the wheelchair. I need to sit up here to type and work on the computer. Disappointed that I haven’t made any money.
In the news US: Trump won New Hampshire last night.
Canada: Supreme Court says the emergency act was unnecessary.
How can I make money? I want to make money. Is it reporting on politics? Is it making paintings?

Listening to Eric Carlson asking what is real https://readingepicthreads.substack.com/p/erik-carlson-what-is-real?publication_id=1033093&post_id=141247494&r=qlsc3&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
Talking about confirmation biases. During the great awakening. We need to move forward carefully.
When you hear information, ask 5 questions:
- Who am I hearing it from?
- What media source?
- Why am I hearing it?
- Who benefits or who is hurt by it?
- Does it support information bias?
Discernment is like a muscle.
