I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a special BIRTHDAY post in honor of your co-creator also known as your MOTHER.

As the other half of the creation club and that creation bring my ultimate and finest creation forever more that which is YOU my kids!

I wonder when you will ever read this specific post considering you only have a few years experience with reading and I write these post at your big brother’s level.

I think it is important that you know that I wish your mother well and will always be forever grateful for what she herself brought into my life and what we did together that brought into existence one that increased my pride and joy and deepest purest LOVE while expanding my role as a FATHER.

I know that your MOTHER and I do not live with each other and for that I am sorry.

I hope that you have one day the experiences that provide the belief that you have parents that LOVE you more than anything whether or not we are all in the same house.

Today is Labor Day and although the holiday is meant to pay respect to the people that make up and have been a part of our country’s workforce the title for today’s post LABOR OF LOVE is me paying respect to the woman that is the MOTHER of YOU my daughter and also on this day she is one year wiser and one year more experienced in life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY‼️

SEMANA / SEMAINE = “WEEK” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about my recap on my first full week in the fall semester at school.

Three of my five classes have yet to start and week one started on a Thursday so it was not a full week.

In my first full week I had Astronomy and Math and I am enjoying them both.

Last semester I took only two classes and these two classes so far this semester alone feel like a similar amount of course load or school work so I will need to make sure I keep things on track like they currently are.

I feel like it will be a fun challenge to do as well as last semester with maybe more than twice the work but because I have taken more and more classes each semester I am used to having to adapt to the course load in the beginning of the semester in addition to being able to apply some of the things I have learned in previous semesters that I can now utilize that will set me up for success.

I like to challenge myself when it is something I can grow from and in this case also increase my potential for the future.

I am using a graphing calculator in Math and this is the first time using one since high school.

I look forward to updating you when I have completed my first full week with all five classes.

ENJOY THE REST OF THE SUMMER‼️

FIESTA / FÊTE = “HOLIDAY” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about this holiday weekend we call Labor Day weekend.

For many in Michigan with Labor Day being a national holiday there is a “3 day weekend” starting today with Saturday, Sunday and Monday off from school and work.

It is common for Michiganders to go “up north” throughout the summer and Labor Day weekend is often the last chance to enjoy a vacation before it gets too cold.

The holiday “Labor Day” itself is on the first Monday of September each year to recognize the contributions of America’s workforce.

I will be using the extended weekend to take my time wrapping up my school obligations at a comfortable pace and perhaps a little overdue spring cleaning.

Do you have any plans you are looking forward to this weekend?

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: AUG 29 1966 was the Beatles last live performance. Considering I have referenced the Beatles on a previous “This Day In History” I chose this event in honor of your grandparents (my parents).

Today, for you, I have a post about saying pardon versus saying sorry.

An apology is given when we are sorry for something. Asking a pardon (or really saying “pardon me”) is more when it is possible it may be a slight inconvenience to someone but you do not need to apologize.

An example for asking pardon is you did not hear what someone said although you were listening. Maybe they were mumbling and you did not understand them and you could say “pardon me but can you please repeat that because I did not understand you”.

Another example and more common is when somebody is unintentionally standing in your way while you are moving towards something and you might say “pardon” while moving around them so you do not make physical contact with them and giving them an opportunity to make way for you.

Pardon is to be polite and apologies are for healing.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: AUG 28 1963 Martin Luther King Jr gave his “I have a dream” speech sharing his vision of the future that included people treating all people with love and kindness equally.

SEMILLA / GRAINE = “SEED” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about seeds and not just any seeds but the seeds we eat.

I am a fan of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.

I also like nuts which are the seeds of hard dry fruit like a hazelnut.

Peanuts are actually part of the legume family which contains beans.

All nuts are seeds but not all seeds are nuts like a sunflower seed.

Raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds can be planted to sprout a flower or pumpkin unless they have been heated.

I am a huge fan of roasted honey peanut butter and peanut butters in general (almond butter, cashew butter etc) and last night I enjoyed some walnuts which are kinda look like a brain and they are in fact good for your brain health.

Do you like seeds and if so what is your favorite❓

Today, for you, I have an update post about my progress with my before and after photo that is “due” on September 21.

The truth is I have made some progress but as of right now depending on what time a day I check my face it looks pretty similar to the before photo minus the stache’ 🥸

The good news is I still have 4 weeks left and even better news ultimately, it is not important. The only thing that is important is that it is a health goal and not in vanity meaning my health is more important than my looks.

This morning I did a short workout at the gym at school and found put they have another weight room I did not know about. I can’t “wait” to check it out. 😎

I also stopped by the coffee shop and grabbed a cinnamon bun since I will be watching the sweets over the next 4 weeks.

All of this was before 9am 💪🏼

I look forward to sharing with you my “after” photo.

I LOVE YOU❕

LUNA NUEVA / NOUVELLE LUNE = “NEW MOON” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about last nights “new moon”.

The new moon marks the first day on a lunar calendar.

I believe I have mentioned lunar cycles previously (moon cycles) as well as the use of different calendars such as the calendar we use here in the US (the Gregorian calendar), the Lunar calendar like today’s post and the Chinese lunisolar calendar among others.

Our ancestors would have used several different calendars throughout history maybe all of them.

The New Moon is the first phase of the lunar cycle which last 29.5 days.

The moon appears black because the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun reflecting light back towards the sun.

During the New Moon the moon rises and sets with the sun so it is hidden in the sun’s glare yet in the sky during the day and hardly visible if it all at night.

In many traditions it represents new beginnings, fresh starts and renewals.

I like the idea of a lunar calendar because it is something we can all see and regardless of date or time on a clock or calendar it is a consistent way of tracking periods.

It is either day or night (time) and the moon shows the date (whatever phase the moon is in while knowing it will repeat in roughly 30 days). The seasons the time of year cold, plant, hot, harvest.

I am less than 1 week into my Astronomy class yet the sky has been a major topic ❤️🐺

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about considerations of the future.

We really never know when the things we do will be the last time we ever do it.

This could be for many reasons.

The things we do include the things we see, things we say, the people we are with as well as anything else we could ever do.

Whether we want to do something again, need to do something again, expect to do something again or do not want to do something again we can only make a difference in the present.

Knowing that it is possible that whatever you are doing could be the last time, why not make the best of it?

Do what you want to do passionately, do what you need to honestly, say what you want to say lovingly and whenever you part with someone leave them a reminder of your love.
