Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

I bought
Uncle John's (new and improved funniest ever, blunders jokes quotes hoaxes and more!)
and
Uncle John's bathroom reader, the world's gone crazy (432pp of strange and outrageous stuff)
and
Michael gave me,
The Great American Bathroom Book (not in the Uncle John series)
    (volume 1, single-sitting summaries of all-time great books)
(i don't read on the toilet, actually)

I also want to finish reading Super Better, by Jane McGonigal
    (using the science of games for self-help) ("a revolutionary approach to getting stronger, happier, braver, and more resilient")

SB reminds me of Buddhism, or happiness psychology (different facets of the same stone)
