Have You Filled A Bucket Today?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Have You Filled A Bucket Today.’

This children’s book was written by Carol McCloud and beautifully illustrated by David Messing.

It’s about an invisible bucket that everyone carries around with them including you and me.

The bucket is filled each day with our feelings and good thoughts, it can also include caring, and smiles, but there’s a lot more too that can be added to the bucket.

It’s a beautiful story that shows a different way to act towards each other.

It’s a unique and special book for young children that encourages positive thought, love and kindness towards each other.

Why not read the book with your family and collect a little “Caring and love,” into your bucket now?

This is a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with all children.

So, read it now or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?

Would You Like To Regenerate?

The question is, “Would you like to regenerate?”

If a lizard (a reptile) lost part of its tail or you cut a leg off of a Salamander (which is also amphibian) it will grow back.

However, although we can grow an embryo, with bone, muscle and intricate blood vessels we cannot like a Salamander regenerate a leg if it was removed.

After your born the only thing humans can regenerate well is our epidermis; the top layer of our skin.

Whist sharks can continuously replace lost teeth, and spiders can regrow legs, we cannot.

So, although our technology is advanced for humans on our world, it appears that amphibians and reptiles have the upper hand in regeneration.

Although that may be the case but they’re not immortal for they are also doomed to become food for a much larger predator.

But the question still remains, “Would you like to regenerate?”

Well you’ll have to wait for scientists to figure that one out, in the meantime look after your epidermis and your teeth.

Would You Like To Be One of The First Settlers On Mars?

The question is, “Would you like to be one of the first settlers on Mars?”

I understand that in the future scientists plan to send humans to Mars.

The fact that it’s a one-way ticket excites but also scares me as there’s no coming back!

In my younger year’s I would have jumped at the chance to go into space and be one of the first settlers on Mars, however now I’m a little more cautious.

Just think, the first people chosen for this mission will be human guinea pigs to test liveability in a world so distant away from Earth?

Will they survive the flight?

Will they adapt to Mars?

As for once they reach Mars not only will they have to survive the surface conditions whatever Mars throws at them but they’d have to be psychologically ready for what they may find, especially in relation to another species that may already claim Mars as their home.

Also, if Martians already inhabit Mars how will they accept the invading humans, or will it be a hostile first encounter?

So, with all this in mind and even allowing for fake news on the internet about aliens on Mars there’s definitely one thing I know for sure and that’s, my names not down and I’m not going.

The only way I’d be going to Mars is through soul travel, for at least this way I can return safely to Earth any time I like.

But hey, I’m no astronaut, what do you think?

Do You Like Peanut Butter And Honey?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Sticky Sticky Stuck.”

Written by Michael Gutch and illustrated by Steve Bjorkman.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a little girl called Annie.

When Annie wants a sandwich, she finds that her family are all too busy to help her so she decides on making the peanut butter and honey sandwich herself.

It started well, but as soon as she’d finished she was startled by her mum which leads to her falling and landing onto the dog.

Now she was stuck!

How is she going to become unstuck or will she remain stuck forever?

The only way to find out how Annie gets out of this sticky situation is to read the book or watch the story on YouTube then you can tell me what you think.

So, parents beware; always make your children’s sandwiches especially if they consist of peanut butter and honey, or you too may have a sticky situation on your hands.

What’s Causing The Ice Caps To Melt?

The question is, “What’s causing the ice caps to melt?”

I’ve heard that the ice caps are melting due to climate change.

Now climate change is the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane that’s in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Scientists claim it’s caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation which evidently is caused by human activity. However, I believe that erupting volcanoes have also contributed to this issue.

Then there’s the visitors from out of space. Now I’m sure that their space craft emissions are also contributing to this too. Maybe someone should have a word!

“Prevention rather than cure,” is my motto.

But anyways it doesn’t matter who’s causing it. If this was as urgent as the scientists claim then why have no drastic measures been put in place.

Across the globe there should be a total ban on tree felling, the burning, of coal, wood or any other material and no more petrol or diesel vehicles. We should all be using solar powered or electric vehicles by now especially in this new age of technology.

So why are we still living in the past?

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?
