Quote Of The Day

What’s Up With Me?

For those of you that are wondering what my sisters situation with the crows is, I have a little update. There is a hawk that almost permanently sits outside our window when my sister is around. I told her about it and she thought I was just messing with her but then she looked and has been seeing it herself too. So yeah, something is definitely going to be going down with her soon.

As for me, I haven’t been sleeping too well for the last few days. It’s nothing new for me. I don’t have very good sleeping habits and I have a little bit of insomnia. So, hopefully today I’ll be able to go to bed early and get a good nights sleep.

What else is going on with me? Honestly, not that much has been going on with me right now. And I wish I had more exciting news to share with all of you but some weeks are just anticlimactic. And that’s fine. In fact, the older I get the more I prefer that over drama. I’m at that place in my life where I look forward to peace much more than anything else.

What are your thoughts on the quote of the day? What are your plans for the week? Do you have any fun plans for the week? What have you been up to recently? Anything new going on with your life right now? Let me know in the comments below! Or stop by and say hi!

    A beautiful quote bringing home the idea of being a good listener to seek knowledge and wisdom. That is why God has gifted us with two ears and only one tongue. It means we should at least listen twice the amount we speak.
    Take care of insomnia as this can have serious health consequences if left untreated. There is no substitute for a proper sleep.

      Thanks so much. Yes, we should always listen more than we speak.
      You’re right especially because multiple relatives have issues with insomnia so it may be something genetic.

    Sleeping is important, listening is also very important. I am a good listener or at least I am trying to be one. If you listen to yourself well enough you’ll be able to sleep. If you listen to others well enough, they’ll be able to sleep. Have a nice week!

    Re: the quote… great one; I can’t tell you how many times it would have been good for me to follow this advice in my life! And re: the hawk, I think you need to write a book about this! Also, re: sleep… ah yes, I too had terrible “sleep hygiene” for years when I was working in a super stressful job and bringing it home. It carried on for a few years after leaving that job and it wasn’t until I focused more on meditation and fitness that I became a better sleeper again. Plus, not being on my phone late in the evening helps. Good luck with it! As for me, I’m planning on getting out and cycling this week as the temperature is finally going up to what it should be in April. I’m excited!

      Lol yes, I need to write a book about this situation soon. I think my vitamin D is extremely low and I forget to take my pills for it sometimes so that affects my sleep a lot too. I’m glad the weather is improving there, hope you get a good amount of sun this spring and summer!

    Hi Pooja,
    The quote you have shared is beautiful.
    I repeat the word ‘beautiful’ a lot.
    Because I think ‘everything in this world is more beautiful’ than remaining boring or bad things.
    So “the beauty of thoughts and thinking” can certainly change our how we pursue our life.
    Last night I tried to sleep as early as possible. But I kept thinking and assuming various thoughts.
    It didn’t work!
    Something stops me from sleeping.
    Right now, I don’t know what’s that.
    “I’ll try to follow a regular sleeping routine. A
    nd will avoid in taking long naps (because of summer) in day time.”
    Take care of yourself! Enjoy!😁

      I have the same problem, I go to bed but just toss and turn. And then I have to take a nap to combat that but that makes my sleep worse at night. It’s a bad cycle lol. Hopefully we’ll both get better sleep soon!

        I don’t think the crows have read Doug Larson’s quote.
        When someone says, “I’m not trying to harm your nest.” The crows don’t listen even if it’s true. Crows don’t have the wisdom to know that while hawks will eat their eggs, that humans generally prefer chicken eggs for breakfast. Crows talk a lot but have not listened much and don’t seem willing to read philosophy books. As the crow flies, too many places are too close together.
        I’ve seen articles about crows in North America and how they behave. I don’t know how Kenyan crows comport themselves. They articles seem to indicate that it would sound like your sister is in a war zone between crows and hawks which might mean there’s a crow’s nest nearby. Baby cows are in a nest for 30 days when hawks like to eat them it says. The crows can fight back against hawks and any nearby human that they perceive as a threat.

      Ooops typos. “The articles”. And the article name is “crows-vs-hawks” not COWS vs. hawks. (Now that would be a problem. I guess lack of sleep can turn crows into cows, and swords into plowshares (Isaiah 2:4). I hope there’s no typo in the typo correction…

    Ok, so the fact that those birds are all over your sister’s window, scares me to death. Hope everything will be alright.
    As for the quote, I absolutely agree. Sometimes it’s hard to remain silent, and only later you realise that it was actually a wise move.
    I struggle to find the inner peace, so I totally get you. Take care, and try the trick with socks during the night. I read it helps with better sleep!

    I hope you get more sleep the rest of the week! I’ve had a better than usual time sleeping this week, probably because I’ve cut down on caffeine after noon. One of those things everyone knows you should do but doesn’t do it, haha.

    I have a book on animal symbolism I find fascinating. The raven and the crow indicate a connection to a higher consciousness and a gift of insight. The crow is about finding your inner circle or soulmate. Maybe the crow and the raven are for you and not your sister 🙂 Hope you get some rest. https://a-z-animals.com/blog/raven-spirit-animal-symbolism-meaning/ https://a-z-animals.com/blog/crow-spirit-animal-symbolism-and-meaning/

    Listening is so much harder than talking. That’s for sure. I find that in order to listen well, one really needs to concentrate on what is being talked about and really have to recall all the related issues and other contingencies in order to make an intelligent comprehension and response. Listening is really work, although if it is routine stuff, one doesn’t have to put much efforts. So I feel that one has to judge first what kind of strategies one has to adopt for a listening task.

    My favorite listening experience is with people with whom I have shared interests and we can bounce off each other’s sentences. I like that kind of communication more than anything else.

      So true, talking is easy but listening is such a difficult skill to master.
