Be the author of your own story. Your inner narrative will dictate your actions. Your inner narrative holds immense power in shaping your perception of reality and the way you navigate through life. It is the voice that whispers in your ear, coloring your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
“You are the author of your own life story. You have the leading role and get to determine how you interact with your supporting cast and other characters. Without realizing it, you may have allowed the events in your life to write your story for you rather than taking deliberate action to write it in your own voice. What will it take to love your life story to create the happy endings you desire?”
― Susan C. Young ―
“ You are the author of your own life...Don't let others define it for you. Real power comes by doing what you are meant to be doing, and doing it well.”

The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa.
The largest heron in Europe is a bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast.
The grey heron feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
Standing up to a metre tall, adults weigh from 1 to 2 kg. They have a white head and neck with a broad black stripe that extends from the eye to the black crest. The body and wings are grey above and the underparts are greyish-white, with some black on the flanks. The long, sharply pointed beak is pinkish-yellow and the legs are brown.
De blauwe reiger (Ardea cinerea) is een vogel uit de reigerfamilie. De blauwe reiger is tevens de bekendste vertegenwoordiger van de familie in België en Nederland. De vogel komt daarnaast voor in de gematigde streken van Europa, Azië en delen van Afrika.
De blauwe reiger is een vlees- en viseter die vissen en amfibieën eet, maar ook andere dieren als insecten en kleine zoogdieren worden wel buitgemaakt. De vogel is een veel geziene soort in ondiepe plekken van stadssingels en poldersloten en in weilanden; de reiger wordt vliegend gezien langs grachten, beken en bij meren; de broedkolonies bevinden zich midden in de stad in hoge bomen of juist in volstrekt afgelegen bospercelen.
De blauwe reiger zoekt in stedelijke gebieden regelmatig de rand van tuinvijvers op, waarin vissen rondzwemmen. Door liefhebbers van goudvissen of koi wordt de reiger dan ook beschouwd als een plaagsoort en wordt zo veel mogelijk geweerd. In strenge winters hebben de blauwe reigers het zichtbaar moeilijk. Een blauwe reiger wordt gemiddeld 5 jaar oud.
De blauwe reiger is een grote vogel met een lengte van ongeveer 90 à 98 cm en kan een lichaamsgewicht bereiken van 1 à 2 kg. Het mannetje en het vrouwtje zien er ongeveer hetzelfde uit. Beide geslachten hebben een grijze bovenzijde, vleugels en staart en de vleugeleinden zijn zwart. De kop is wit met een zwarte band door het oog, die doorloopt in een kuif. Ook de hals heeft een witte kleur maar is voorzien van lengtestrepen aan de voorzijde. De buikzijde is grotendeels lichtgrijs van kleur. De kop draagt een gele, dolkvormige snavel. De poten zijn lang en bruin van kleur en net als de snavel roodachtig.

------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Made an early start on this cold and frosty morning and captured the sunrise over the Old Mill at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire.
Sadly the reflections were not as good as my last visit but found a bit of colour!
A bit of history about this famous location - Langstone Mill was built in circa 1730 and continued working until the end of the 19th century. By the first World War it was being used as a residence. By 1932 it was purchased by Flora Twort, a Hampstead artist, who lived there for many years. Its best known visitor was the author Nevil Shute who stayed there many times during the Second World War.

This is by no means a Bookmaker toast.
It is a toast for book-makers, i.e. authors.
Toast with eggsalad, pickled cucumber, chives, Miguel Vergara Striploin from "my" local butchershop and Parmesan sauce on top.
Not bad for a lunch, home alone.

The traditional Japanese garden, located on the Black Sea coast, covers an area of 6 hectares and includes waterfalls, bridges, ponds with golden carps and turtles, a stone garden and other original elements and buildings. The creator of the project is Shiro Nakane, a well-known Japanese landscape designer, hereditary guardian architect of one of the imperial gardens in Japan and the author of several Japanese gardens in the world.
Проектировал его известный японский ландшафтный дизайнер Широ Накане, а за повседневным состоянием тоже присматривает истинный японец. Страна Восходящего солнца поставила для гостиницы растения, рыб и даже 1700 тонн камней вулканической породы. Придирчивый японец работал на совесть – экскурсоводы рассказывают гостям, что он заставлял рабочих по несколько раз переставлять огромные каменные глыбы, потому что ему не нравилось, как они «разговаривают» на выбранном участке. Но в результате получился шедевр. Сад занимает площадь в 6 га (это немало), на его территории поместились пруды, дорожки, водопад, сад камней, домики для чайной церемонии и залы для упражнений йогой и медитативными практиками.

Korean-American Author Chang-rae Lee being interviewed as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival earlier today. I just finished reading his last novel, On Such a Full Sea, which is very interesting and only slightly dystopian. Recommended!
Chang-rae Lee talked quite a bit about his positive relationship with his mother, his amazing female heroine Fan who is an integral part of On Such a Full Sea and wanting to create a heroine for his daughters to love, growing up in Queens, NYC in the 1980s, trends now in terms of competitiveness in class in the US, and industry in China. He has a very calming voice as well as an intelligent one and I enjoyed hearing him.

I also saw Salman Rushdie before him but was too far away so only posted a screen shot from my phone on Instagram:
(Usually I have an all cats Instagram posting on Caturday so that's really something!) Rushdie was also great to see interviewed. He possesses such a great insight and humor sumultaneously. He made me laugh quite a bit and when I told him in person how much Ground Beneath Her Feet (my favorite novel of his) means to me, he acted as if that actually mattered, which is nice.
Also, not pictured, I had the delight to see Sarah Vowell as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival a week an a half ago at the Chicago Art Institute. She was quite hilarious as usual and had a great deal to say about modern art and politics. She also talked to me during the signing and said something like this,
"It's really cool the way the light from above hits your red hair in this certain way that you can't obviously see because you're not me sitting here looking at you." It was pretty funny. Overall, a really amazing Chicago Humantiies Lineup this time around!

Here’s another in my occasional series on books and book things – this time celebrating the joy of listening to classical music in the 1950s.
I first encountered the author, Martyn Goff, when I was a 14-year-old schoolboy. He owned The Ibis Bookshop in Banstead High Street, Surrey, which I visited from time to time.
To me, Goff was already a bit of a celebrity, thanks to this book – A Short Guide to Long Play which he displayed in the shop window in 1957. And inside, he had a record player on which he always played soothing classical music. The sub-title of the book is ‘How to listen to Music on and off the Record’, and the price is 7s 6d.
While in Banstead, Martyn Goff was to become much more of a celebrity when he published several novels, including The Plaster Fabric and The Youngest Director, dealing with homosexual relations, a matter barely spoken of in the 1950s when such activities were illegal and ‘permissiveness’ was 20 years away.
But back to the book in question here. It reads like a long lecture, but in the nicest sense, with lots of amusing asides. Martyn Goff discusses the differences between listening to long-playing records (remember them?) on a ‘Hi-Fi set-up, a ‘pre-war radiogram’ and an ‘E.A.R. portable, electric, 3-speed gramophone’. ‘When I bought mine’ he recalls, ‘the cost was 26 guineas. Purchase Tax increases have raised this figure to 28½ guineas and at the present rate of rising costs, it may be double that figure by the time these words are read.’ Sounds familiar…?
The book is a time-warp, but Goff also discusses in some detail the symphony, the overture, popular composers and many other subjects, all crammed into 125 pages. It’s knowledgeable stuff.
In due course Martyn Goff CBE became not only a well-known reviewer and broadcaster, but also chairman of the National Book League, Administrator of the Booker Prize (a position he held for 36 years) and chairman of Sotheran’s, Europe’s oldest antique and rare book dealer founded in 1761. The bookseller from Banstead became known as ‘the eminence grise of British publishing’ – and his rise and rise to the top of the literary tree all started in my home town.
