When it comes to these to geographic classifications, I do not hesitate. I was born in the summer, and prefer warmer weather. For these basic two reasons I prefer the beach.
In the ideal circumstance, the beach is preferable because more often than not it’s an enjoyable backdrop especially when it is sunny and warm outside. The water is always pleasant and a couple of degrees cooler than the air temperature.
The one drawback that I find with the beach is that the sand tends to get in your shoes when you walk on it. That is the one unpleasant feeling that I encounter whenever I go to the beach.
Notwithstanding that one drawback, i would go with the beach over the mountains 60% of the time.
Our family has been blessed to celebrate meals together over the years. Now that my sister and I are grown and my dad, it has imperative that we take these opportunities that we have with each other. We don’t have particular dishes that we cook; we eat out. But there are times throughout the year where we convene frequently.
These are
My Dad’s birthday
Christmas
Thanksgiving
Those dates listed above are more significant to me than what we eat. The people around us make the occasion memorable. I’m fortunate to have those people (family and friends) with me on those special holidays. They make the experience worthwhile.
I wish I could say that I do, but I don’t. I am thinker and I tend to do it too much. Sometimes it gets to a point of paralysis, because I want to have my decision be validated immediately. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way.
I need to be more cognizant of my instincts and trust them. The times where I DID NOT trust my instincts, I made the wrong decision. And I’ve suffered the consequences from the decision.
If I’m going to be a successful entrepreneur, which is my life goal, I must be trust my instincts. Simple and plain.

What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
Every part of my routine is important. However, my routine that I would want to skip is going to the gym in the morning. It’s an essential part of my daily maintenance. But I have to commute there and back. Fortunately when I get my Elon Musk money, I will have a gym in headquarters or have access to a building with gym in the building. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about the commute!
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.
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.
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.
