Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I did it! I dealt with or managed every single email I received in the month of September. Between my business emails and personal emails there were over 350 different email threads, a thread being a singular line of discussion.

Last January I spent 3 days with my friend in Jersey on the way back from a forum I was invited to in Spain. While staying with him I noticed that he had zero emails in his inbox. That inspired me to strive for a zero inbox too. September was the first month I was able to pull it off.

I still have the goal of a zero inbox for the year so I will keep you posted on my progress. I also have a new organizational goal for October, but apparently saying what you are going to do sometimes tricks the mind into thinking it is already done it, making it harder to achieve a goal. So, I will tell you later if/when I reach that goal.

Oh yeah, I also have a "Chicken Thursday Surprise" for you next week thanks to one of those emails I received from Cybersaltine D. McCordic!

For now, enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

Sunday greetings everyone!

This week the premier of our province called a snap election for October 24th - you know because nothing else big is going on right now, lol.

But seriously, what a grind we are all living in right now as thing upon thing upon thing lands on our plate. And there's no guarantee that there aren't more surprises lurking around some next moment yet to happen. 

Today's video share features a song that reminds us to look up at the stars in times of confusion and fear, and remember we are being kept by the One who loves us more than the stars in His hands. These are beautiful words sung beautifully.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Welcome to autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern. I am sure you "Southerners" are excited to get back outdoors after a long winter inside.

Here at Cybersalt World Headquarters we are already getting our first fall storm systems coming in off of the Northern Pacific. Grandma Cybersalt is getting ready to process a bumper crop of apples from the backyard. It's amazing how things grow when you water them during the summer!

BTW, do you know what I find is one of the greatest challenges of marking the change of the seasons and all these hemispherical references? It's properly capitalizing (or not) each term in different uses. I've tried my best - but not too much because I like to keep J. Pierce on his toes!

Sunday greetings everyone!

Today's video share is an example of how the perspective from which you look at something can really change your . . . . . . perspective on it.

Above water, Flamingos are beautiful. But under the water, they look and eat like a child's playtime vacuum or a dream you might have when you are fevered. I was pretty surprised to see what is really going on under there.

Now, ponder this for a minute. Imagine you had only ever experienced flamingos from the underwater perspective and then saw video of them above water for the first time. You'd probably be amazed that they were so graceful.

This is a reminder to me that I can experience other people or cultures over and over in a way that reinforces my limited perspective on them, while missing whole other truths and realities about them as a whole.
