Media life

When I started out on this journey there was no idea it would lead me to this day. The last years of childhood, the end of teenager age, but just the earliest of adulthood, this thought would be come a beacon of discovery that I’ve been blessed to carry out for 780 months and going.

Yes, it started out so simple, just a young 19 year old teenager on his own ,making up his world in life, as he went along trying to find his own utopia in life. None of us are so blessed to know where any thought originates but, at 19, one year into adulthood, this thought that came to me at that time and it would become the affirmation I would continue to follow throughout life as I grew mentally, physically and spiritually into lifelong learning.

I write in my being published book, QUARTER CENTURY LIFE -‘Every Journey Opportunity Trust Yourself’, by P.Rodger Wilson, that trying to make sense of this life is not rocket science, just at this age of stupid, exciting, still new grown-up on the job training time in human life, I was trying to figure out mine.

No one gets to pick their DNA, whose ever’s we get after that approximately 278 day gestation of male sperm meeting female egg, is what we we get. No matter when where or how from that the age is on as my sweet, little wise mother would say, ” Two times you don’t know baby, arrival time and departure time”. The uniqueness of human mixes comes in many shapes, sizes, shades and two basic designs. No matter when, where or how from there the human age is on. The great miracle, that allows once inside a female human to form a human body of flesh, bone, muscle, organs and a vast, beyond complicated comprehension of nervous, respiratory and blood flow systems of of cells that from now on, with little help from us, mostly on their own accord will forever work together for our body to age itself. WOW! How amazing we are.

So, there looking out at the heatwaves rising up off the hot plains of a West Texas Summer and begin thinking about what had gotten me to that moment. Laying on a bunk in a barracks, government issued, USAF Air Traffic Controller trained, and afraid as hell as what this adult life, out on my own would offer. What environment I had come from? Where I was now, and where I wanted to go all seem to be flowing around in my head together when the thought that would lead me on came in to verse, NEVER FORGET MY CHILDHOOD, ALWAYS LIVE MY ADULT HOOD and CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR OLD AGE. and not knowing what the outcome would come I begin to create a attitude that hopefully would take me to different altitudes of lifelong learning.

So now I’m trying to use the social media tools in reaching a audience that may find some inspiration in a thought that helped me and may allow them to help themselves and someone else along their road. This is my first form of social media for QUARTER CENTURY LIFE since it went to print. I’m going to over the next weeks attempt to write about my progress on this journey of building a marketing plan to get the word out about QUARTER CENTURY LIFE and build on other platforms as I continue to build on my wordpress skills.

Time, On Summer Solstice

621219 #021 Today is the Summer Solstice, where I reside, there will be 15 hours and 54 minutes of daylight. In our own lives we may have days of Solstice.

When I started writing QUARTER CENTURY LIFE it was a way for me to take a look at a affirmation I wrote at 19, about childhood, adulthood and old age Not knowing that these very thoughts I had that day would be a key to the seasons of my life. Time is everywhere, but my mom a small, sweet, wise lady would say “there are two times you don’t know, ‘arrival time and departure time’ the rest is your time.”

In my experience and research, everyday for children is special and some days more special then others. The joy of childhood seasons when creativity is everything we do, see and say. This childhood creativity may fade with age if not stayed upon. Childhood, that 17 year 364 day journey through time that gets us all in the same place at the same age, each bringing different experiences.

The FIRST 24 months where our morning, noon and night is all at the mercy of some one else. I use a poem called THOUGHTPHABET to engage in words the first months of life and how important it is, that care and nourishment is given at this time. Although these early childhood season gives us a start, we all begin to add to the finish. The first 24 months, leads us to the most exciting time in life as we get to the TESTING TWO’S, memory.

In time, like in life, today is the birth of a new Cancer season of signs, and as each long days of summer, gets shorter everyday and closer to another season, the same in childhood, each day begins to leads us closer to adulthood. Take a few moments on this Summer Solstice(a day late) and reflect, on you as a child or, you as a parent how beautiful each of these moments are as we move through time on this QUARTER CENTURY LIFE Summer Solstice of 2019.

In all your life, today is like no other day, it has never happen before and will never happen again this exact same way for none of us. This Summer Soltice 2019 in where ever we are in our QUARTER CENTURY LIFE, we are the most unique individual in this time. Each of us have our own 365 days, 4 seasons and Solstice days, even though at times, it can seem to roll all into one. The hardest part can be making everyday special.

Art of Reading

#022 62019 There is so many things that have been learned and discovered and not to be able to get information from print can be saddening. So much can be discovered from reading. What is reading ? When should we start reading? Are there basics to reading?

Reading to me has always been the ability to get meaning from print. Reciting is the ability to say every word but, not comprehend, get no meaning from what they say. My biggest shock was meeting a fifth grade girl who had lots of street smarts, could out run, out talk and probably beat up all the boys, and full of anger. The anger was she was reading at a hi first grade level. With her wit, and push them through attitude, she had made it to fifth grade. As I begin to talk with her, there were some basic things she didn’t grasp. The alphabet in the English language are more than just letters. I asked her about the consonants, and she gladly told me there were 7 continents, and I knew we were on different pages.

One thing I learned from having children in a private school, and teaching in a Title 1 school(extra funds for low income), would find out the biggest difference I noticed was vocabulary. This little girls language was learned from music, television and environment, one of her lines was “got to get them Benjamin’s”, reading just brings on so much more opportunity to grow.

As I begin to research more on reading AS REALDE THE READING BEETLE came through me. There are some things as a lover of reading, you can take for granted when speed reading through a novel or just enjoying a slow read through the twist and turns of a mystery, reading has not been that easy for everyone, and there is not just one answer. We all can sing, maybe not hold a note, but sing, talk, observe, write all leads to us reading.

I try to use the full scope of the Alphabet when teaching reading. Like I said as fluent reader there are some things you take for granted but you wouldn’t believe how many people guess at how many letters are in the English language Alphabet. I use Song to stress memory,”There are 26 letter in the alphabet, English!”, Alliteration to increase vocabulary, Rhyme to help speech, Write to observe letters and words on paper, and finally, Read to increase comprehension, to get meaning from print. Vocabulary becomes prominent and can be increased.

When READLE THE READING BEETLE came through me there was no READLE Academy where each letter of READLE has now taken on a charge to make better learners. R is read, do daily to be better reader, E is engage, we learn from each other, A is achieve, hard work pays off, D is develop, everyday make it better, L is learn, be a life long learner, E is excel, give what is your best.

Reading is so important, it allows the human mind of imagination and creativity to take fantastic trips, journeys and adventure through the minds of other humans passing on their thoughts, imaginations and discoveries. I believe we are never to old to read and learn more about becoming a better reader. The earlier we start the better, for more reading opens up a brand new world at any age. The stigma ” I hate reading”, can turn nice people into mean bullies to compensate as it gets worse.

It may not work for every one but know there are 26 letters in the alphabet, observe each letter, talk about it, write it down, read it. In reading I always say there are four words in the alphabet, hope you find them. Happy reading, make the art of reading yours.

Oh yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY little brother another blessed year to be counted, HERE!

New Beginning

061920 #021 Hello my name is Paul and this blog is going to be mostly about what I have been and will be going through as I try an publish Quarter Century life. Each one of us arrive here on our on comet, pushed out and become human. The difference after that is what kind of human we become and that depends on many factors. I took my life experiences and life many titles I have had and applied them to a saying I had wrote for myself at 19, NEVER FORGET MY CHILDHOOD, ALWAYS LIVE MY ADULTHOOD, CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR OLD AGE. Using this through out my life had me doing things om my own time. Quarter Century at a time and starting over. Having 1 year old birthday at 26, but with just more wisdom.

So now I have finished the first part of QUARTER CENTURY LIFE and getting ready to publish. Hoping I will be able to reach new readers , I am taking the wordpress online course on how to get your page started so this is more or less my first lesson, who am I? why am I here? Will use this blog to keep updated as I use QUARTER CENTURY LIFE to explain some lessons in early life, from the perspective of what we have in common in our biological age. There are certain thing we all go through and that is the lens I use when looking through at QUARTER CENTURY LIFE and what are some of the things we all go through at different ages.

Hopefully will get web page up and running from the new things I will learn on wordpress courses. Looking forward to this blog and maybe getting feed back as my blog become better, thanks

QUARTER CENTURY LIFE

#001 May 10, 2019- Its on now, I been out here freelancing for 9 months and it has been a blast. I decided I would begin to document some of my experience and motivation as I get ready to publish. I have always been a writer for myself, with my own philosophy on how this life works for me. Have been referred to as , “personal scholar”, by love ones , but continue daily to be a life long learner. Freelancing has allowed me to do more research into the way I have been blessed in this life. Early in my life I wrote a Affirmation that has carried me throughout the different changes I have encountered so far through different ages. From the very beginning, to the late months of a Quarter century, life continues to change for each one of us uniquely, one experience, one body, and one age at a time. Similarities in age, but each one different life experiences.

AFFIRMATION: NEVER FORGET YOUR CHILDHOOD – ALWAYS LIVE YOUR ADULTHOOD – CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR OLD AGE

So this is the experience that I hope to be sharing as I go through writing and getting ready to publish. QUARTER CENTURY LIFE. Not sure the cyber reach but look forward to trying to document this Journey and growing as I get closer. Well until the next one HELP1HELP1!

#002 May 11,2019- Wow good thing that I’m trying to get this writing done, had a problem with a garbage can, and mother nature, that has resulted in a knee problem, that’s life. Something so simple as pulling in the garbage can, that’s been happening every Tuesday for years. The difference I had never went out in house slippers, on a rainy day and tried to pull the cans up. The little can no problem but the bigger can pulled back. Next thing I know those house slippers are doing just that, slipping on the wet pavement and the big blue recycle can is coming down on me laying there on the ground. At first I thought it was my ankle but it seems my knee may have taken the worst of the fall, since it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Well Off to the doctor to get there recommendation. Finishing up the first part of is exciting and scary doing what i must to push throufg, nothing left to do but to do it.
