Today, for you, I have a post inspired by the “This day in history” below:
THIS DAY IN HISTORY: SEPTEMBER 25 1956 the first transatlantic telephone cable (TAT-1) was inaugurated, enabling direct voice calls between the U.S. and Europe
I have made post on our blog previously about communication and this one is focusing on the first time a live voice call was made an entire ocean away.
The majority of the earth is covered in water (ocean water mostly) and the concept of being able to talk to somebody an ocean coast away as if they were standing next to you on the same beach is mind boggling.
I can only imagine the engineering feat required to accomplish this not to mention the labor involved.
You know how you can talk with two paper cups with a string attached to them and hear each other? Imagine that across an ocean and it actually worked! Crazy right?
I am fascinated with the history of communication. Every thing including language, technology, the written word, body language and facial expressions and the future of communication.
My favorite type of communication is the kind that includes you.
I LOVE YOU❕

Today, for you, I have a post about my after photo from a few months ago.
First off I wouldn’t have known for sure if I was spelling “selfie” right until I saw it spelled today for our word of the day because today was the first type I wrote or typed it that I know of.
Here is the after photo
A few things have changed since the previous photo and most of them not physical.
I am in a new semester at school and things are going well just like last semester but this semester I am taking three more classes.
I have made more progress getting closer to spending time with you and for that I am excited and happy.
I will do another photo in 3 months and for the each solstice and equinox.
I am optimistic I will have even more reasons to be smiling in the next photo.
I LOVE YOU‼️
HAVE FUN❕

Today, for you, I have a post about the holiday known as “Rosh Hashanah”.
I noticed this morning on my calendar that today was the holiday Rosh Hashanah and to be honest the only thing I knew about it was it was a Jewish holiday.
After reading some facts about the holiday I found a few things interesting which I will share after a few facts on the holiday: 1. Biblical Origin – It’s mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Leviticus 23:23–25) as a day of rest, trumpet blasts, and offerings. 2. Shofar Blowing – A central tradition is blowing the shofar (ram’s horn), which serves as a spiritual wake-up call to self-reflection and repentance. 3. Two-Day Celebration – In most of the world, Rosh Hashanah is observed for two days, even though the Bible only designates one. 4. Head of the Year – “Rosh Hashanah” literally means “Head of the Year” in Hebrew, marking the start of the Jewish calendar year. 5. Ten Days of Awe – It begins the Ten Days of Awe (or Repentance), which lead up to Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. 6. Apples and Honey – People eat apples dipped in honey to symbolize the hope for a sweet new year. 7. Tashlich Tradition – Many Jewish communities perform Tashlich, where they symbolically cast away sins by throwing bread crumbs into a flowing body of water. 8. Different from January 1st – Unlike the secular New Year’s celebrations, Rosh Hashanah is not about parties—it’s a time of reflection, prayer, and renewal. 9. World’s Birthday – According to Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah marks the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, making it the “birthday of the world.” 10. Unique Greeting – The common greeting is “Shanah Tovah” (שנה טובה), which means “Good Year.” Some say the longer form: “L’shanah tovah tikatevu v’tichatemu” (“May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year”).
As far as I know I have never heard of a holiday celebrating the birth of the earth which is a pretty cool concept.
I also did not know that there was a Jewish observation of the beginning of the year.
Did you find any of the facts interesting?
Happy New Year 😘

Today, for you, I have a post about my post from the other day about misunderstandings and assumptions.
Today I didn’t have my bus pass when I walked to the bus stop.
I asked the bus driver if he accepted apple pay and he said “come on the bus and I will give you a ride”.
So I got on the bus and before getting off I asked for a transfer ticket.
Just before heading back home I was at the bus stop and noticed the ticket said “No Return Trips Allowed”.
I got on the bus and the bus driver told me that the ticket was for the wrong direction but she still gave me a ride.
Did anybody do anything wrong?
No.
But when I got on the bus the first time I knew it was possible I might not be riding the bus back.
However and luckily the kindness of the bus drivers gave me a ride to where I had to go and back home so it wasn’t an issue and although I could have walked back for some not having a ride back would have been enough to not be able to accept a free ride to the place I was going but I still saw the lesson in thinking about saying yes to something that can be good in the moment but make things harder down the road.
So consider when you make assumptions one lesson and another lesson is to think about how what you do now can affect what you will experience later especially when things will seem easier in the moment.
Stay smart! Have fun!

Today, for you, I have a post about the difference between misunderstanding something (innocent) and making an assumption (mistake) when it comes to a negative experience.
If somebody tells you to meet them at their house and knock on the back door when you arrive it is possible to show up, locate the back door and knock when you arrive and not do what the person asked. If the person said knock on the back door when you arrive and then you leave after you did so you didn’t do anything wrong. But the person actually wanted you to knock on the back door so they could open it and let you in to spend time together. You didn’t know this and that was not a mistake but a misunderstanding.
The other person made an assumption that by telling you what they did that you would also know they wanted to hang out.
In this made up scenario no harm was done but the assumption could have led to a negative experience that could have been avoided if the person that made an assumption instead clarified their intention and/or if you were to ask if what they were asking of you included anything else (but did not require knowing anything else to honor the request).
We never try to misunderstand but we can ask ourself if we are making an assumption when we are or are about to make one.
