After all this time I did some research. Eagles produce 2-3 eggs on average. The female takes a few days to produce the eggs after mating. She lays the eggs one day at a time; they hatch in the same order. The pair then begin roosting the eggs for 34-38 days, keeping them at 105 degrees. She does most of the roosting, however, the male will take turns. The eggs are turned every 2-3 hours to keep the embryo from sticking to the shell.
I liken this to the process of 'hatching' our desires and intentions. It's easy to have a dream; it is difficult to spend the time necessary to 'roost' over the thought processes necessary to bring our idea to life. It may be best in our humanity to work on one desire at a time rather than 2-3.

Yes, it's cold. But the sun is bright. Good day to sit in the sun with the curtains open.

Welcome 2026. A chance for a new beginning. I don't necessarily make resolutions, but I do have a list of short, mid, and long term goals that I review often.
I failed to do that in my youth; the practice of living without a specific destination was costly. Sure, I had decided on a career pursuit but allowed far too many distractions to get in the way. That would be the reason for looking at the goals on a regular basis, to see if I'm on course.
So here I am, reminding myself of the chosen path for the coming year. Best wishes.

Post holiday blues. This is a recognized state of mind, with symptoms to include sadness, anxiety, and a sense of emptiness. Here we are, every bit as magnificent as the eagle, dealing with a cloudy day.
I'm playing with AI and having fun. It generated the following:

Reasons for the letdown:
* Emotional anticipation. The leadup to Christmas is filled with anticipation, making the post holiday feel drab by comparison.
*Social disconnection. After spending time with loved ones, the returning routine can feel isolating.

Coping strategies:
*Acknowledge the feelings. Awareness of these feelings can lead to acceptance.
*Stay connected. Yes, family has moved along, but it is important to return to a healthy routine of interaction with friends, workmates, and other social interaction.
*Focus on the positive. Shift your attention to future plans and activities, keeping your mind active and optimistic.

It could be argued that I spend too much time by myself. All these years though, I have naturally compensated with reading inspirational material, keeping a number of quality friends, and feeding my creative gene. I suspect you may do the same.

Ah yes, a sunny day. The day generally does get better when the clouds roll away. Moving the clouds of my thinking can be more difficult. I recently read a book 'Chatter' by Ethan Cross. The author listed a number of tools to pull oneself out of the negative self talk. And, of course, nature provides relief. Cross provided an example of a study done with residents in a housing complex in Chicago during the seventies. Folks living in 16 story concrete tenements were questioned regarding happiness levels. The buildings either faced a park on one side or other copies of the concrete structures on the other. Just looking out at green spaces as opposed to blight increased happiness levels. There is the lesson for the day. Get out and enjoy the sun. Watch birds and other nature, it is healing.
