( “I do not do, say or write something to been seen or heard… I do, say or write something because it needed to be done, said or written…” , no nominations please, just sharing thoughts while exploring life 🙂 ).. 🙂 The heat wave continues so reducing daily activity somewhat, especially in the afternoon.. A good time to contemplate about one’s life and the path taken… 🙂 Who am I, one wonders Whether it is race, gender or ideology, As I venture down life’s path As a spirit that is born free.. Wondering about being different Reminds me of words from a song, Where do I fit in, one would ask One wonders, where do I belong. Does the image without Determine who I am to be, Even though the spirit within May be different, be me. Do I follow my heart’s dream When heart and mind disagree, Or do I listen to the mind While dealing with reality. Those questions and more Life’s puzzle to unravel, To find answers I am seeking Down the path I must travel. So I shall continue down the path least traveled To seek that rainbow, perhaps around the next bend, Once found, I’ll have my answers And that will be the beginning, not the end. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
Hello Diary,
Well, there are no alligators or swamp here but with the addition of the heat wave, life has plenty of challenges/life’s storms present to deal with… but here on the path “I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.” (Louisa May Alcott)…. So, we are adjusting the sails to deal with the change in the wind… 🙂
Not as bad as other parts of the country, yet, but making changes in the daily activity to add to changes already made over time… some for health reasons but mainly to deal with trying to avoid putting a stain on the resources, etc…. I have ceiling fans to keep home cool, reducing activity, using the air conditioning at a minimum.. 🙂
I have energy efficient bulbs which generate low heat also… 🙂





These are a few of the things I do, heat wave or no heat wave, and I know it is not for everyone as everyone has taken different paths in life… and there will be many who will raise a eyebrow looking at me as if I am different, but I like being different.. 🙂 And why do I wish to be different, you may ask, The freedom to choose, to explore, to learn a lot, Dictated to by a prophet chained to a myth…. NOT Maybe so everyone can shout and point at me, And say, “Hey, he’s different”, don’t you see. My mind is clear and open, gathering knowledge every day My spirit is young, adventuresome and floating free, Not confined by those social chains, no box, no mold for me I am what I am, I am me, what I wish to be, Perhaps that makes me different, don’t you see. So my heart’s compass is pointed to the horizon Sails set full, safe harbor fading in the distance, a faint glow to eye it seems And with a pocket full of memories, on the horizon are my dreams On down the path least traveled I will venture, with spirit free Why the path least traveled?..well, I’m different, don’t you see. ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )
Well, I had better close for now, the sails need more adjusting and there are adventures to explore even with life’s challenges… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise.. 🙂 I hope the path you choose helps build a better future for yourself and life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again.. May the love that you give Always return to you, That family and friends are many And always remain true, May your mind only know peace No suffering or strife, May your heart only know love and happiness On your journey through life. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
Glad to hear the ways you’re staying cool while also keeping energy consumption low.

You carry on being different! It’s nobody’s business except your own. Never forget the wise words of Muhammad Ali….”I don;t have to be what you want me to be.”

May flowers always line your path

And may happiness fill your heart
