Capital Goods
So what are capital goods economically speaking. Well, they are the ones that increase productive efficiency and permit us to have a greater output of consumer goods at a future date from the free resources that are offered. This is another aspect of what is known as capitalism.

Choices Made
Life is all about the choices we make. Some are good and some are bad. The choices will make affects you and even some family and friends that are around you. Your choices affect your personal and even your professional life. I remember a choice that I made to become a teacher, but ended up becoming a nurse instead, but really these were not bad choices for I used by education to become a teacher in my profession of a nurse. After 16 years of nursing and teaching I made a choice to become a writer and I am loving that choice for I am sharing what I know and learned in life. I am happy with the choices that I have made even though I am a single person for I am not lonely for I have many books that offer many friends old and new.

Happy birthdays!!!!
What is it about celebrating birthdays? I will be 60 in just about two and half months, and that is a celebration in itself in these days. I was never really a party person for I do not like being the center of attention a lot of the time. Birthdays are a time to celebrate your life and whatever you wish to convey to others, and if it is a party your family and friends want to give you accept it for this is the gift of LOVE of them.

A Quill Pen
Who has ever written with a quill pen before? I have and it is an experience having to go back and forth to dip the nib (a nib is the portion of the pen that holds the ink) into a little jar of ink or as they did a very long time ago in inkwells on a desk, but you probably know that. The tips are very sharp but I believe everyone will know that fact. Some quill pens are stiff and others can be flowy with the breeze when it blows. Just think about it for a second or a few minutes.

A Thunderstorm and a Solar eclipse
What if where you are living there is a thunderstorm occurring and at the same time a few miles away a solar eclipse is happening for only a few short hours. One day/night a small boy sat on a swing listening to something on his radio. Something told him to take his earphones off and look around. He did. This little boy noticed that for some reason it was getting slightly darker even at this early hour in the afternoon on this day. The spring peepers were peeping, the bats were flying about, and lightening bugs were lighting up the yard. The boy thought that it was kind of eerie, but at the same time interesting and comforting. All the stories that he had heard of cataclysmic things happening during an eclipse did not happen, but who knows maybe somewhere something did happen, but in this backyard nothing happened but night came a few hours early and now the sun is back and the birds are singing. There is really nothing to be afraid of during a solar eclipse this little boy learned.

Eclipse
Cannot experience the solar eclipse this day for the image is the reason why. The definition of a solar eclipse in brief is when the moon crosses completely over the moon and nighttime takes over daytime for a few short hours. You will hear and see dusk happening and the nighttime creatures making the presence known a bit early.

A Wedding
Went to a very special wedding today. It was my first grandnieces wedding day. She and her husband are perfect together. Their colors were white and shades of blue. This was a very traditional wedding from the throwing of the bouquet to the throwing of the garter. The wedding was an outside wedding and the weather was perfect. Sunny and mild even for Central Louisiana for it could have been humid or rainy or both, but it wasn't it was perfect.
