So I have been thinking about how to make myself more. I may be in a wheelchair but, I’m not dead yet.
Most of these things I have listed seem very simple. It can be the simplest things that trip everyone the most. For example, a shoelace. A very simple thing, that can help a lot.
So, I need to make myself accountable and I am going to use my blog to help do that. I may be in a wheelchair because of a stroke, but there are still things I would like to do. Some are not as easy as you might think.
Some of the things I want to work on.
Make bread every week.
Homemade bread is so much better than anything you can buy at a store. So easy. Water, Flour, Salt. I add a stick of butter to make the bread softer. That’s science. In someways I see that it helps life have meaning.
Floss my teeth daily.
One of the very small, simple things that makes life better if you do it.
Grow chilli peppers and trees.
I am still figuring this out. But my wonderful wife helps make this easier. It can be fun just to watch the changes over time.
Excercise at least every other day. Spend time out of my wheelchair.
This is not as easy as you might think. It can make my legs so tired.
Help Hildete study English, at least one hour every a day. Help her learn enough English so she can get a job as she would like and so she can go to the nail salon by herself.
My lovely wife studies like a maniac. Not everything seems to stick like she would like. I am open to suggestions if anyone wants to message me. I think she understands more than she thinks she does most days. But I know she would like to get a job. Most everything around here is English or Spanish. This will be interesting.
Work on money daily at least five minutes; budgeting, planning, or accounting, where did the money go, daily and make sure I am saving. Learn to be a good Jew, about money.
This is almost to easy, so easy you don’t want to do it. But if you don’t do it for a week, it can become hard to catch up. I have been listening to Dave Ramsey, podcasts and audio books. I also found an audio book about money written by a rabbi, who is also a businessman. He doesn’t take a salary as a rabbi. Daniel Lapin. Very interesting, and insightful. So, for this I say, learn to be a good Jew, or child of Israel. God wants us all to learn to become rich and help others around us to work and become rich. Not prosperity gospel idea. Lots of unfortunate things can happen to good people. Lots of scoundrels are blessed with abundance.
Avoid Television as much as possible, listen to audio books, or spend time writing.
I watch to much television sometimes. That said there are a few shows I do like and it would pain me to go without. But I need to create a better schedule for watching TV. That said Television can be a good tool, especially in helping my wife and her son in learning English. Turning on the subtitles can help. The subtitles can be in almost any language, depending on the app. What a marvelous world at times. Books and audio books really give your imagination a workout. Writing to.
Learn poker. Several different games and help my wife and children learn it.
This one might seem confusing to some people. I am not encouraging gambling. Poker is a game of chance. If all you do is pass out the cards and give everyone one shot based one the cards you get and maybe trade for. Me and my wife have been playing for a few weeks now. Blackjack, 5 card stud, 7 card stud. We are getting better at identifying hands. Seeing who has the better hand. Maybe someday we will start betting with jellybeans, pretzels, or something else consumable. I don’t want to encourage gambling. I just was to play stupid games.
Study gospel topics daily, Book of Mormon, General conference, Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine & Covenants.
I think I can get this.
