The Woolly Bear…Fact or Folklore?

The all black woolly bear caterpillar is an indicator of a severe winter ahead. Is this fact or folklore to you?

Rationally, I know I shouldn’t believe myths, but there is something so incredibly soul soothing about myths, legends, and folklore. Like a story told by a elderly relative, it ties you together with history and a little mystery of times gone by. As much as I don’t like bone-chilling cold and tons of snow to shovel, I’m going to believe in the black woolly bear this year. I think we are in for a hard winter. What better way to end 2020 than with a blanket of snow?

REDIRECTED “Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I really feel sorry for those that must toil at a job they hate for 50 weeks out of the year just to have two weeks “off” from their life. I know many like their careers and also like their vacation time; and I’m not referring to those folks. I’m talking about the people that literally feel daily drudgery going to a job they despise. Take it from personal experience and please find a new path. It may not be an easy path, but “work” doesn’t have to have the negative connotation that so many people believe it has. I will never stop “working”. My “work” may change over the years, but I will not be without “work”. It is the reason I exist. I may not succeed some days, but those are learning days. (I refuse to say that “bad” days are failures; they are just “lesson learning days”). These are just my thoughts. Please have yourself an awesome day!
