My Journal                                                                                        Day 202

Jan 24 2025

Today was a terrible day. I went on my third date with Bobby. Personally I was a little wretched afterward. We made an at home dinner. I got a little frustrated because he lingering in the kitchen where I was trying to cook. We made a beet salad with a mushroom dressing. We were rueful about the mushroom dressing after adding too much rum. The rum was too conspicuous. After our meal, we wanted to find a movie but the website was intricate.  We finally found one and the movie was unendurable. It was about a girl who was forsaken and was placed in a receptacle place. In the end, the male was reprieved. I also broke up with Bobby because I relinquished with trying to make it work.  Tomorrow will hopefully be a better day.

It was OKAY. 😒 I still HATE the author. One of the things I do like about this book is at the start I had no Idea what was coming for me. For example I thought that everyone could see color. I thought it was a normal world only with some rules but still with love, feelings and color. Reading through the last three chapters I was predicting that they were going to die. But we never find out. In my opinion there are three possibilities, he died and he's in heaven, he is at a village and he will have a family who supports them and they survive and finally in my opinion I think they get shelter but they eventually die of starvation or frostbite and Jonas' ankle will take over him.

Sneaking in some sleep midday is linked to a long list of benefits, including improved mood, better memory, reduced fatigue, and even lowered blood pressure. In addition, while your body clock is set to help you feel alert in the morning and sleepy in the evening, it's also programmed to make you feel naturally tired mid-afternoon, and a nap has been shown as the best way to cope with this fatigue.

That said, naps aren't for everyone. Some people wake up from an afternoon snooze feeling groggier than they did before they fell asleep, and for others, napping can interfere with the quality of their nighttime sleep-especially if they already suffer from insomnia. And needing to take naps due to excessive daytime sleepiness may be a sign of an underlying health condition, such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, or depression. Talk to your doctor if you feel overwhelmingly exhausted during the day or if napping on a regular basis is a necessity for you. Otherwise, follow these tips to get the most from your nap:

1. Be Brief. The longer the nap, the worse you'll feel when you wake up. Limit your snoozing to 30 minutes at the most.

2.Time Your Nap Carefully. While you may get the urge to nod off later or earlier some days, as a general rule of thumb it's best to nap around 2:00pm or 3:00pm. This is usually an hour or two after lunch, when your blood sugar and energy level starts to dip. A quick nap at this time can help you feel more alert for the rest of the day without interfering with your nighttime sleep.

3. Set the Scene. Since you probably don't have a lot of time allotted for your nap, it's key to fall asleep as fast as possible. A cool, dark, quiet room will help you accomplish this.

4. Ditch the Guilt. Naps often get a bad rap, but they can actually improve your productivity, learning, and creative thinking. Whether you're napping at home or during the workday, don't feel bad about a little bit of midday shut-eye!

When you go cycling, you should ride vigorously enough to raise your heart rate to a level that builds cardiovascular fitness. The most accurate gauge of your exercise intensity is your heart rate. When you start out, a heart rate of 40 percent to 50 percent of your maximum heart rate. Over time, you need to work up to a heart rate close to 70 percent of your MHR. Once you are in shape, ride fast enough to maintain that heart rate.

Gabriel is being released

Jonas is on his way to the other village

One of the rules he has broken is he stole his father's bike so that he could fit Gabe too.

The search planes went to find them

The aircraft can sense heat so everytime one came close he transmitted a memory of snow to Gabe.

The planes stoped coming

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas did want to see his father ever again so the giver said he could stay one more night.

Jonas the giver are going to start to make a plan to get back the memories and feelings.

Jonas and the giver had a plan but if it failed they would likely be killed.

Their plan was for Jonas to escape and go somewhere else and then the memories would be everywhere.

Jonas wanted the giver to come with him.

Instead of seeing beyond for the giver it was more hearing beyond.

Jonas will leave his dwelling at midnight.

The giver will call a vehicle and Jonas will hide in the back with 2 weeks worth of food saved up from the giver and the plan will be on its way.

Rosemary was the givers daughter.

Why Love Is Imporant? Here are 7 reasons that let you know why! The majority of texts in any language, period of time, region, and combinations thereof have been written on love, and it never seems as if we have covered every aspect of this incredible feeling. It has been described as an emotion, a way of life, and even as the most important thing there is. While there are many facets and faces of love, we're going to focus on what is traditionally, romantic love. Here are 7 reasons why love is important, and what you can do to find yours.

1. Connecting With Another Human Being

This may seem trivial, but it has been the key to the functioning of society as a whole for the last 5000 years. The ability to have an affectionate and intimate connection with another person, and to have that fondness returned is an anchor to base the rest of your development and future around.

2. Why Love Is Important? It Is A Path To Self Discovery

Love can reveal a lot about ourselves that we may not have already known. Our preferences, tastes, morality, thought processes and instinctive reactions when we are in love reveal a lot about our character to ourselves upon reflection, especially considering that we are in situations where we may never have been before.

3. Sex

It doesn't have to, nor should you demand it, but romantic love for your partner, when returned by them, can lead to intimacy and sex. Sex is a most important element in our lives, a crucial need that has to be fulfilled, and what better way to scratch that itch than with someone you love? For intimacy and sex go hand in glove.

4. Why Love Is Important? It Is An Excellent Source Of Motivation

When you're in love, you always tend to strive for better and not just in a vain sense either. That is to say, it is not merely for the sake of your partner loving you more (though that certainly is a motivation) but also, to do better in life, to set new goals, and generally strive for the best. The upswing in positive thoughts is also noticeable and that itself makes a big difference.

5. Love Is A Reformer And Teacher

In the same vein, love is also a great reformer. Have a bad habit that annoys your SO (significant other)? Likely that if you are in love that is reciprocated, you will defeat the habit and be rid of it, whether it is the fact that you're late, lax with your upkeep or even if you smoke. In the same way, if you are in love, and you make all of the above efforts, but for reasons the love goes sour, you still learn many vitally important life lessons even through the heartbreak. Just remember not to be too hard on yourself, and that if you had one bad restaurant experience, you're not going to be giving up on eating out, though of course, we realize the two are not the same. The point still stands.

6. Why Love Is Important: Because It Is The Greatest Feeling

Isn't it? But don't take our word for it, just read any of the majority of the classics of the twentieth century that deal with the topic, or watch any of the classic films (or even the not so classic ones) etc. You get the drift. Being in a healthy, two way, loving relationship is an incredible feeling, and is one of the pinnacles of the brief existence that is our life. And make no mistake, it is a feeling, a state of being, one most definitely worth striving for.

7. The Future Is Yours

Love is thus a support structure for you to build your ship on. Whatever future you envision, whatever methods you want to follow, and wherever you see yourself going, you know that you have someone by your side who believes in you, trusts you, wants to see you succeed, and always has an ear for you. This is why love is important.

Now we said we'd focus on romantic love, but we also said we'd help you find your love - and that means that we have to mention just one more type of love - love for yourself. For you see, it is incredibly hard to find love without loving yourself first, and even harder to keep it.

Loving yourself and who you are means that when you do fall in love with someone, you will be doing so because of an attraction to the person, their traits, their beauty (inner and outer) and their personality, and not because you are using them to cover up your own insecurities. Loving yourself means being less needy in a relationship and less demanding, leading to a much healthier relationship all around which is filled with even more - you guessed it - love. So know why love is important, love yourself, and the rest will fall in place.

They released a new child that day

All the releases are recorded so Jonas watched his dad release one of the twins

The twins were naked Jonas could see that they were males.

When they are released they put a serum in a syringe.

They insert a needle into them (if they're old in their arm but since this was a newborn his veins weren't ready so in his forehead)

As the serum gets into all of there body they start to lose feeling and they die.

When they are done he goes through a door and that's the last you see of them.

Rosemary wanted to inject herself, and she did.

The giver is telling Jonas about the last receiver and her name was rosemary.

For the first 5 weeks the giver gave Rosemary the good memories.

But after a while he had to start giving the bad memories. such as loneliness and being taken away from you family.

The giver used to love the sound of her laughter but soon after he had to give the bad memories that laughter started going away.

Shortly after Rosemary applied for a release, the head elder had to say yes because it wa not in the rules at the time.

When she was released all of her memories went out to the world and it took everyone a while to get over it.

The giver did not help because he loved her.

Now that it has happened there is a new rule in the system.

Jonas did not want to go back to the annex

The giver was gentle with him the next couple days after the bad memories about war.

Jonas asked the giver what his favorite memory is and the giver gave the memory of christmas to Jonas.

Once you apply for a spouse you break off into your own family tree.

Jonas wants to go back to the way the things used to be with the grandparents living with them.

Jonas asked his mother and father if they loved him, they said that love was a meaningless word, but to Jonas it was the most meaningful word.

Gabe went back to the nurturing centre because he was sleeping soundly in Jonas’ room but he was not sleeping until they put him back in Jonas’ room.

Jonas gave a memory to Gabe every night.

Jonas did not take his pill that morning.

At first I was surprised 😯. But, soon after I realised that I had already predicted that. I found the relation between the eyes. All the receiver of memory's have pale eyes from what we know. This happening brings on a lot of questions.

Gabriel is definitely the next receiver.

The hill was steeper and it was colder.

The sled couldn't handle the ice, he started gaining speed and he couldn't control the stirring didn't matter how hard he tried.

Joans flew in the air as he landed he could hear his bone crack and the ice scrapped his face.

Even when Jonas woke up he still felt some of the pain

When there is a new idea by the elders they go to the receiver of memory to check if its okay.

Gabriel was doing better

Why does Jonas want to feel the pain?

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas wants there to be color but the memories are not for him to keep.

Jonas is realizing that them making choices for them is safer.

Jonas started to get really angry at his friends because they had no idea of color they thought their lives were perfect. He was also mad he couldn't tell them.

Jonas tried transmitting his powers to Asher using a flower.

The giver taught Jonas about how animals were real

The giver has a different set of rules

The other giver failed because the memories that he taught her they got out and they went to a place before the giver and the people have access to them

Jonas used rudeness

The giver wanted to give Jonas some of the pain that he is feeling so they went back to the sled.

Color has a huge impact on our emotions, our perceptions, and our spiritual and physical well being. When choosing colors for your brand, color that will represent you, your business, and your message, are you choosing the right colors? Understanding the meaning behind color is important. When you understand the meaning and power a color holds you can leverage that to help you better communicate your message and connect with your clients and customers.

That is exactly why I am doing the Color Meaning Blog Series, detailing the meanings associated with colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, grey, black, white, brown, pink, turquoise, gold, silver, and beige.

Red, the color of blood and fire, is associated with meanings of love, passion, desire, heat, longing, lust, sexuality, sensitivity, romance, joy, strength, leadership, courage, vigor, willpower, rage, anger, danger, malice, wrath, stress, action, vibrance, radiance, and determination.

Red is assertive, daring, determined, energetic, powerful, enthusiastic, impulsive, exciting, and aggressive. Red represents physical energy, lust, passion, and desire. It symbolizes action, confidence, and courage. The color red is linked to the most primitive physical, emotional, and financial needs of survival and self-preservation.

The color red is an intense color that is packed with emotion ranging from passionate, intense love to anger and violence - representing both cupid and the devil. It is a hot, strong, stimulating color that represents excitement and energy. Studies show that the color red can create physical effects such as elevated blood pressure, enhanced libido, increased respiratory rates, enhanced metabolism, increased enthusiasm, higher levels of energy, and increased confidence.

The color red is a highly visible color that is able to focus attention quickly and get people to make quick decisions, which is one of the reasons fire trucks and fire engines are usually painted red. Flashing red lights mean danger or emergency, while stop signs and stop lights use the color red to alert drivers about the dangers of the intersection.

Red represents power and courage. The color red is the basis of the traditional red power tie or red suit in business, and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs. Red's association with courage and bravery makes it a color that is used often in national flags, on shields, and in achievement patches.

Too much red causes loss of temper, agitation, anger, and overbearing, demanding, and oppressive behaviors. Too little red causes lethargic, cautious, whiny, and manipulative feelings. To get out of control emotions under control add green, the opposite of red. To get rid of exhaustion, add more red.

In different cultures red carries different meanings. In some cultures, red represents purity, joy, and celebration and is a traditional color worn by brides. In China, red is used for good luck and represents happiness and prosperity. In South Africa, red is the color of mourning and in Russia red is associated with communism because in history, used a red flag when they overthrew the Tsar. In the United States, red, when combined with white and blue represent patriotism and pride of country.

Red gemstones are believed to increase enthusiasm and interest, boost energy, create confidence, and offer protection from fears and anxieties.
Other meanings associated with the color red:

When the color green and the color red are combined, they traditionally represent Christmas and the joyous holiday season.

Red is often associated with the fortieth wedding anniversary, as the red ruby is the traditional fortieth wedding anniversary gift.

Barns and large structures have been traditionally painted red because the red paint was the most inexpensive paint to purchase and the easiest paint to manufacture.

A red rose without thorns is a symbol of passion, love, and romance. While a red rose with thorns typically exemplifies the struggle and challenges associated with journey of love, meaning that it can be both joyous, fulfilling and delicate, as well as painful and cruel.

The saying "in the red" means losing money, no money, or overdrawing your account at the bank and is thought to come from the feelings of stress and anxiousness and the physical symptoms they cause such as elevated blood pressure and often anger or danger.

The term "red herring" is used when referencing something that is deceiving, dishonest, or distracting from the truth.

The phrase "paint the town red" is associated with celebration, partying, abandon, fun, and excitement.

The expression "seeing red" is thought to be based on the physical characteristic of anger, including redness of the cheeks, physical exertion, and elevated blood pressure.

The term "red eye" is associated with overnight airline flights due to the perceived lack of sleep passengers receive and the appearance of red in the whites of their eyes as a result.

The saying "red carpet treatment" refers to making someone feel special and pampered as if they are a VIP or high profile person.

The phrase "red flag" is often used in reference to a warning of danger, problems, fighting, and war.

Additional words that represent different shades, tints, and values of the color red: scarlet, crimson, vermillion, carmine, maroon, burgundy, ruby, rose, madder, rouge, brick, blood red, blush, fire engine red, cinnabar, russet, rust, Venetian red, flame, Indian red, tomato.

Jonas did have a dream of him sliding down that hill again.

Fiona as she was walking into the house of the old her hair changed.

Jonas asked why everything was changing

The giver had to do a test. Jonas had to recall the memory and look down at the sled. The same thing that happened to the apple happened to the sled.

Their world is black and white. The reason that is seeing the things happen is that he was starting to see the color red, Fiona’s hair is red and so is the apple.

The giver had a new way of finding color
