What is good about having a pet?
A pet is good because it can provide companionship for those who are lonely and in need of some living comfort. Pets also require a certain level of care in that they need to be fed, sheltered, and given the opportunity to make waste. They also have the ability to communicate their appreciation, which would allow for their caretakers to find appreciation.

Do you need time?
I always feel like I need time to relax or to organize my time. It’s not organized.
It’s like a thriller.
That’s it
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.
The holiday that I would love to see celebrated in these United States is Constitution Day on September 17th. This would commemorate the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, which was made official by the delegation from Delaware.
There are have been resolutions to make this an official holiday, but it has not been really enforced. It’s important to remember where we came from as country. Originally this country was composed as 13 colonies under British governance.
The abuses and violations that were suffered by the colonialists created the atmosphere in which the Founding Fathers determined that their lives would be better under a new authority. Self-rule as determined by the citizens. It was an experiment in governance unlike the world had ever seen. This was an exercise given by Providence to get them to that point.
The holiday would commemorate the struggle that ensued after the Declaration of Independence. It was not a fait accompli that the British would give up their power and the resources of North America willingly to the upstart colonialists. Victory was achieved by Providence over a long, hard War for Independence over 7 years that cost many their lives, fortune, and sacred honor.
It would behoove us now as citizens living under the decisions made by those brave souls to break from the greatest power in the world and to form a new nation. It was not perfect after the debacle of the Articles of Confederation. The founders humbled themselves under God to get through the disagreements and conflicts that arose in creating this new nation. Everything could have been lost, and the nation could have been balkanized. However, a constitutional republic arose with God’s guidance and thankfully it is still in its 237th year in existence.
No other nation has enjoyed the stability and prosperity provided by this founding document. We should take the time to honor it and continue to do what we can remember the struggle in creating the government as dictated by our constitution and preserve it for the next generation.
PS: I forgot to mention how we should celebrate it. It should be like Independence Day with American paraphernalia displayed everywhere. It would be a time of rejoicing! The constitution should be read in all the capitals of the United States if not in every town or city.
*Yes. It is No. 243. It appears that I skipped that number while I was doing my daily prompts over the week. It is not in sequential order, and I hope that the reader can forgive me.
What are your favorite websites?
According to my Jetpack app, I have already answered this prompt. Nonetheless, I’ll revise my previous answer and do it again.
As of today, my favorite site to visit is Twitter. It’s a very engaging site where there’s a lot of thoughts encapsulated in those 280 characters (if you do not have the premium version, like me). It is interesting to see what others are thinking and react to news in real time. Other social media sites have that capability, but they are not necessarily text-based.
When I first joined the site 15 years ago, my friends were there and it was another forum to interact with them. Back then, each tweet was limited to 140 characters. The novelty of the application made users capture and distill their thoughts concisely, which was something that I could appreciate and digest.
Unfortunately dating back to several years, I had stopped going on Twitter. It became boring to me. The friends that I would interact with left the Twitterverse and/or I just stopped being in contact with them. Then the 2020 election happened.
I was looking for voices similar to mine to help me refine (and in some cases, validate) my line of thinking. There was a lot going on at the time, most notably the lockdowns. The chance to interact and fellowship with other people in person was severely curtailed. However, Twitter provided a lifeline (somewhat). It gave a channel for connection. That was when I became more engaged on that social media network.
I discovered those voices that were similar to mine and gave me a lifeline. It also helped me to stay in touch with the latest news. I regularly check my Twitter account even to this day and is quite the favorite of mine.
The next challenge for me and Twitter is how I can effectively monetize my presence on there. There should be no excuse for me now to take advantage of the potential opportunities that Twitter provides. There might be an audience for voices like mine.
Who knows?
The next time this daily prompt comes around, I hope to have a better answer and clearer writing style for you, the reader.
Cheers.
PS: Here’s my previous answer.
I like this slogan of Dream Big Again with Donald Trump. This is unlike the Hope motto that was associated with the Obama campaign in 2008 in that the president has a track record of doing what he promised.
Obama did NOT have that and was able to ride his way to victory based on a vapid campaign that mainly appealed to the youth vote and weak Republican opponent(s).
This year will be different. The author of this blog prays for all those voting this year and for free, fair, and legitimate results for all the candidates and proposition on the ballot.
