One thing I enjoy about Sunday mornings is that I have a subscription to a blog called Brain Pickings. I’ve had a great time reading her blog. It’s loaded with links to other subjects and one of those links talked about William James who I consider to be the father of modern psychology.

He had some interesting quotes about attention which is an area that I’m fascinated by. How do we keep someone’s attention? How can we focus our own attention for longer periods of time? After reading this, I went to Stone Mountain and recorded an episode of Verbal Surgery which I called, “Attention Intention.” <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I thought this was beautiful.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I liked this poem. I receive two poems every day from different email lists.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Studied Spanish.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brain training.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another gorgeous day in the ATL.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

OYB!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ordered my groceries. I’m back to picking them up.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I went to Stone Mountain to record and make calls.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the email subscriptions I get is called the Magnet. I read something today that I thought would interest my son-in-law, Miles. It did!
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Gassed up my car. I used my new Murphy gas app and got ten cents off per gallon. I don’t think I’ll get that every time, I’ll just have to see. I don’t completely understand the program.
\n\"\"
\nI checked my oil and cleaned the windshield while I was getting gas. I noticed that my radiator fluid was a bit low in the reservoir. Chryslers use a specific kind of fluid that I have to get at an auto parts store. Picked some up at O’Reilly.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Went to the bank to deposit checks.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Ordered flash cards to use with Penelope.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I brought all my aloe vera plants back inside. I was glad to see Jesse’s plants beginning to recover from the cold weather outside. They were turning brown and mushy.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I went for a bike ride today. Rode 5.89 miles. I tried to take it easy and not go too far. It was one of my first rides since having Covid.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I need to do more yard work, but my arm has been bothering me from the extreme effort I used last week. <\/p>\n

I listened to this while I rode.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Always something beautiful to see.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I even find mold on bread interesting and lovely.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Cleaned my carpet outside.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

And my shrine to St. Francis.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Watered my inside garden.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Uploaded the new episode of Verbal Surgery onto my Mac.
