KNOWLEDGE = “CONOCIMIENTO” IN SPANISH 🇪🇸

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about something I say when I do not know something

“I Don’t Know” for some is something they feel uncomfortable saying out of fear of judgement

Nobody knows everything

There is nothing wrong with saying “I don’t know” when that is the truth

Only when saying that you do not know something because of fear of consequence is this a bad thing unless the consequence may bring harm to you or another

Chances are you will not have to choose between honesty or harm and likely between honesty and embarrassment when you would ever consider not replying immediately with the truth

I once was less comfortable then I am now with saying I didn’t know something because I believe it would make me not seem as smart as I believe I am or that another’s opinion of me would be I was not smart

But I am still as smart as I think I am when saying I do not know and I remain honest. These days I would be much more concerned with the belief I was a liar than stupid

Honesty & Honor is superior to Likability or Favorable Opinion

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

GIRAFE = “GIRAFFE” IN FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have an educational post for you that is about one of my favorite animals

The Giraffe

I asked an app that uses Artificial Intelligence to provide an answer and the information it provided is below.

Giraffes are fascinating creatures with unique characteristics. Here are some interesting facts about them:

1. Tallest Land Animals: Giraffes are the tallest land animals, with males reaching heights of up to 18 feet (5.5 meters), and females slightly shorter.

2. Long Necks: Despite their long necks, giraffes have the same number of neck vertebrae as humans—just seven. Each vertebra is much larger and adapted to support their height.

3. Tongue Adaptations: Giraffes have long, prehensile tongues, often up to 20 inches (50 cm) in length. Their tongues are also dark purple, which helps protect them from sunburn while they feed on leaves from tall trees like acacias.

4. Unique Walking Gait: When walking, giraffes move both legs on one side of their body at the same time, which gives them a unique swaying gait. However, they gallop with a different pattern, stretching both front and back legs far apart.

5. Strong Hearts: Due to their height, giraffes have exceptionally strong hearts to pump blood to their brain. A giraffe’s heart can weigh up to 25 pounds (11 kg) and generates twice the normal blood pressure of other large mammals.

6. Social Structure: Giraffes live in loose, open herds with no fixed leaders. They can be found in groups called towers, which may consist of just a few individuals or larger groups.

7. Short Sleepers: Giraffes sleep very little, often only about 30 minutes to two hours per day, and usually sleep standing up. They can take short naps while remaining vigilant for predators.

8. Silent Creatures: Giraffes are often thought to be silent, but they do communicate using sounds such as grunts, snorts, and sometimes low-frequency noises that are inaudible to humans.

9. Spot Patterns: Each giraffe has a unique coat pattern, much like human fingerprints. These spots help with camouflage and are thought to play a role in thermoregulation.

10. Long Gestation: Female giraffes have a gestation period of about 15 months, and they give birth standing up. Newborn calves fall about six feet (1.8 meters) to the ground but are able to stand and walk within an hour of birth.

Giraffes are truly remarkable animals with adaptations suited to their towering height and herbivorous lifestyle.

Instead of picking some highlights or rephrasing the information I copied and pasted the response for convenience and an example of what asking AI the question “What are some interesting facts about Giraffes?” would look like

I am using AI now more like I would a search engine

Maybe in the future people will “AI” instead of “Google” something

ANIMALES = “ANIMALS” IN SPANISH 🇪🇸

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about food… again 🤪

I am not talking what we eat today but how we get our food that we eat

The vast majority of humans that have ever existed did not have grocery stores that provide everything one may desire to make their meals for the day/week/month.

The ability to acquire the water and food from the land and land animals was something that everyone could do and also had to do.

If you were not getting your food yourself historically you were either a young child or when others were hunting and or gathering you would be doing something that would assist those who supplied your meal (maybe preparing and serving the food or it was your job to retrieve buckets of water in the morning so others had something available to drink)

If you could not join the hunting party for some reason you might find yourself apart of the group that while others are hunting you are searching for and gathering things you could eat that only requires the ability to pluck from the ground/bush/tree an edible item and place what you plucked into what you would be using to carry back what you gathered (maybe fill a basket with a variety of fruit, vegetables and edible plants that would compliment the meat provided by the hunters so everyone contributed to a balanced meal)

If you were not hunting, gathering or supporting your family/tribe/community you probably had a reason that made this not possible in a way that you and everyone else would rather be doing what those comtributing were doing but could not (maybe the person was born without the ability to ever walk and had to be extra creative when contributing in a meaningful way that was useful) My point here is that those not helping would help if they could and those having to “work” would rather work than having to trade places with the person who can’t walk

I know you aren’t buying your food yourself right now but one day you will and you will more than likely go about getting your food in a way that maybe less than 1% of humans ever have historically

I am grateful we have evolved as humans and that I live in a place that you do not need to hunt and gather out of necessity but those who choose to still do this are likely doing things that way for reasons that buying their meals from a store is not a desirable option

If you have your groceries delivered and cook your own meal you have done less for that meal to be possible than a number of people that might surprise you

If you don’t know where your food was sourced because you never thought about it or cared to find out you might be horrified to find out the process used to make your food appear in your fridge came at the cost of an animal suffering in a way that you would not support.

The food that is not an animal product could also be provided to the store you requested your groceries from by people working in conditions that were cruel or maybe the effort required to attempt to prevent your food from becoming unsafe to eat was not a consideration

A meal that has only 3 ingredients could have so many negative things attached to it you would not want to spend a single penny on it and certainly not take a bite

Imagine eggs from chickens that spent the majority of their life in crowded cages not big enough to separate where they eat and poop, bacon from a farm that has sick pigs that they know could get you sick but allow the meat to find its way to your plate because it would cause the farm to make less money by treating and preventing future illness, and a slice of toast that comes from a company that is not rumored but proven to exploit those who harvest the grain by choosing a location to grow and harvest crops that does not have laws and regulations that try to prevent people from being in conditions that are not safe and the knowledge the irresponsible company pays the workers less than what would be needed to even afford the crops they grew and harvested if they were to buy the final product at your preferred grocery store

If you do not have to hunt or gather your food, consider hunting and gathering in another way. Gather information about where your food comes from. Hunt for options that make you feel good about the process that brought the food to the grocery store.

Now as a shopper you are in a way contributing to a meal that can be appreciated by others

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

AHORA = “NOW” IN SPANISH 🇪🇸

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about what it is that you are doing next

If it were up to you to decide what you want to do next what would you do?

If you feel that it is not up to you when it comes to what happens next know that it IS up to you how you want to approach what you must do next

Maybe what is next is going to school

You must go to school but nobody can tell you how to approach what it is you will be doing next

I am not talking about how you get to school or the task your school day presents

I am talking about how do YOU want to approach this?

I’ll give an example how one might approach a school day

“When I get ready this morning for school (maybe starting last night) I want to have everything I think I will need ready to go and while I do this I want to be well rested”

“When I get to school I know I already brought everything I THINK I will need (completed homework and school supplies in backpack maybe) so I will feel prepared for the day. “

“I want to be present (pay attention), be pleasant (kind to myself and others) and have fun while making the best of my time while at school today”

Maybe you forgot something or maybe someone isn’t kind to you

You can still have a good day by simply TRYING to enjoy what is available to enjoy and appreciate what you are grateful for.

You TRIED to be prepared so don’t let something you forgot bother you… you put effort into being prepared and that is enough no matter the result

You TRIED to be pleasant so if someone is not kind to you it is because that person has a problem, not you, so do not let that bring you down

At the end of the day you may not have had the ability to decide what to do next but you CAN decide how you will approach how you do what you do next

TRYING is enough. I know trying doesn’t guarantee a positive result but it does guarantee you will not feel like you could have done any better and for that you should feel good

If you TRY you will have an approach that allows you to feel like you did what you could to influence the day in a positive way and gives you the opportunity to grow with each attempt of TRYING

So what next might not be something that has a time or place on the calendar but a way of approaching what is next up

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

AZUCAR = “SUGAR” IN SPANISH 🇪🇸

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about “Sugar Free” vs. “No Sugar”

Do you ever check the ingredient label on food packaging?

The items listed under ingredients not only show you what is in the “food” product but the order the items are listed will have from first to last the amount of each ingredient that is used first listed being the most to the least amount which would be the last item listed

Most food that is healthy will not require an ingredient list because it is the only ingredient

Broccoli for example is just broccoli but broccoli soup might contain over 20 ingredients with broccoli potentially being not the first listed as in the soup is mostly something else

Sugar is in maybe the majority of food products

Sugar found naturally in fruit is not the same as added sugar which is a refined product not found in nature but manufactured from sugar cane

A product that says sugar free might not contain sugar but instead of sugar a sugar substitute is added for flavor

Both sugar and sugar substitutes are not healthy

In small doses sugar is not horrible from time to time but our bodies are not meant to consume the amount of sugar found in most food these days especially artificial sweeteners and the refined sugar we call “sugar”

If you think something that says sugar free means it doesn’t contain a sugar substitute this might not be true

No sugar is only true when the ingredients do not contain sugar or any sugar substitutes

Our bodies will treat sugar substitutes as if it were sugar and sometimes substitutes are even less healthy than sugar itself

Try to find food you enjoy without refined sugar or sugar substitutes and get the sweet flavor from sugar in things like fruit which contain a natural sugar called “Fructose”

Healthy eating is something I continue to work on and I always feel better when eating healthy and I feel worse when not eating healthy

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about post that are similar to previous post

It is not my intention to write a post that is nearly identical to a previous post however I do not mind if and when this occurs

The reasons I am more than ok with a “redundant” post is for the following:

1. It was not my intention considering the intent is to create a unique post every time one is published but my intention also is to speak from my heart
2. If I am speaking from the heart surely there will be things I will revisit when it is a matter of importance
3. The phrasing my be slightly different so the information that was previously shared my be drilled in or resonate more when phrased differently
4. I also am reading these post in real time and I am reenforcing my thoughts and feelings to and for myself

So if you are ever reading a post that sounds or feels similar to a previous post know that I obviously really mean it or I want you to hear it again with the hopes it will be clearly understood

CANTAMOS = “WE SING” IN SPANISH 🇪🇸

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about SINGING❕

I love to sing

I sing every day

I sing songs I know and sometimes write songs myself (mostly about my late doggy named “Sigfreed”)

I have always loved music (listening and creating) and I always will

If I am ever going through a tough time one way I know I am feeling better is when I sing

I never sing when I am sad and if I am singing I am usually happy or at least happy while I sing

Do you like to sing?

What is your favorite song to sing if you do?

Singing is done by every culture around the world and is one of the oldest forms of communication

Some say math is the universal language but I think it is music

“I Love My Kids” is something I say every day… that would be the name of my song if I could only sing one song ever again

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about taste

I am not talking about preference but what scientist claim are the 5 different types of “taste”

These 5 are sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami (savory)

Apparently everything we can taste can be described by one or more of the 5 types

Taste is different than flavor (blue raspberry is a flavor and does not taste like anything but the flavor itself) and taste can also be used as a way of describing something with a comparison (taste like chicken)

Officially however everything is either sweet (sugar), salty (salt), bitter (black coffee), sour (lemon juice) and umami (unseasoned steak)

Chocolate is both bitter and sweet and apples can be both sweet and sour (just a couple of examples that can be more than one type of taste)

I am a savory man myself (ribeye steak) and probably sweet & salty next (trail m&mix)

What is your favorite type of taste and what is your least favorite?

Today I want to talk about a dream I had and have sometimes.

It is a dream of you.

Any dream that has you in it makes me want to go back to sleep to see if I can stay a little longer with you.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not but when I wake up I am thinking about you in a way that I miss you but am grateful I got to see you.

It would be nice to be able to dream anything we wanted

I am happy when the thing I would pick to dream about is spending time with my children and when I wake up I remember that I was able to have that experience

I look forward to seeing you again with my eyes open or closed
