The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off of your goal.

#AtoZChallenge – Flaky
I don’t know about you, but I find a flaky pie crust irresistible. I know this is the second F post for today, but I’m leaving it.

#AtoZChallenge – Fold
I’ve been interested in the art of origami, or paper folding, for a very long time. I think it’s the way a simple piece of paper, or a few pieces, can be coaxed into making familiar shapes, or even just abstract shapes. The only limits seem to be the creator’s imagination and the limits of folding a piece of paper. Mostly for my own information, I’m looking into it a bit more. Here’s a few links I dug up:
Have fun folding paper!

#AtoZChallenge – Ear
When I wake in the morning, I listen for the usual sounds, like birds and a little bit of the wind. Sometimes, the sounds of a distant train reach me ears, or, a nearby helicopter (I’m close to a freeway.) Pretty often, as well, I hear my nephew getting rambunctious downstairs.

#AtoZChallenge – Copper
Copper is an interesting metal. It’s fairly common, so it’s used in many ways, from currency to electronics. It’s also an element I never give much thought to, except to recall that when it oxidizes, you get the greenish color.
I just recalled that it’s also one of the words in the English language that can refer to a police officer, although it’s not one I hear often, being an American. I do read some literature, so that’s the last place I recall seeing it.
All this talk of copper got me thinking about pennies, so here’s a couple of sayings I’m aware of:
Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you’ll have good luck.
–Unknown
A penny saved is a penny earned.
–Benjamin Franklin
