I am forever amazed at technology - How in the world did my cell phone know at 5:45 this morning that daylight savings ended at 2:00 this morning? My stove clock and my microwave clock didn't and neither did any of my watches or the clock in my car! It's downright scary sometimes when these things happen! But then, I still don't understand how a radio works - especially a battery operated one.
Today is the first day of the Celtic new year. Interestingly, I learned this week that this year the first day of the Lutheran church year is November 29 - not very far from the Celtic one. My interest in Celtic Christianity continues as I learn so many common factors and it becomes even more obvious why the Celts so readily accepted and adopted Christianity into their culture. I am now working my way through The Complete Idiot's Guide to Celtic Wisdom. along with a couple of other resources. When all else becomes too complex, go to Idiot's Guides or ....... for Dummies Guides. Much of what I think I know comes from such.
While I have your attention, I'm eager to share some of my most important learnings lately - which have nothing to do with the Irish or Celts or technology. My weight has been under control for a few months now and my digestive tract is happier. I credit two factors: 1) I'm drinking water from a pint jar I carry around with me all day long and most days consuming 4 jars full, or 2 quarts. 2) My food is weighted very heavily toward fiber, veggies, fruits, nuts, and homemade (by me) Irish brown bread (Oops! there comes the Irish again!) In addition, I'm avoiding caffeine, sugar (use honey), and synthetic chemicals found in processed food. And, I FEEL GOOD!
Enough for this first day of the new year!
