From Rain To Sun: A Sunny-breezy Autumnal Day!


Hello readers of my journal,

"Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again Some Other Day..." ... Well, you'll in luck because, after a rainy and gray-looking "hump day"Wednesday, there is a twist in weather change today, for TODAY(Thursday), Its Sunny!  The sunshine is back with this awesome breezy, autumnal air, and the wonderful delight of this bright blue sky that we have today!  According to AccuWeather.com, the temperature today (Thursday) is 59 degrees, as a high.  As I click the "F4", "dashboard-looking widget" to get the 6-day forecast of what the weather is like and its current current temperature and 6-day forecast outlook.   As, I am writing this post, the current temperature is 56 degrees.  Also, looking at the 6-day forecast, the weather coming up tomorrow (Friday) is suppose to be, sadly similar to yesterday with [pouring] rain and a temperature of 58 degrees (1 degree less than yesterday's high temperature).   Coming soon in our weather forecast: Sat-62 degrees and sunny; Sun-66 degrees and cloudy; Mon-57 degrees and sunny and cloudy; Tue-58 degrees and sunny. :The above weather is for: Westmont, IL.  
As for Chicago, IL, the weather is: Today(Thu)-60 degrees high and sunny and cloudy (hey, I'm down at RU, south loop of Chicago, and I see a few clouds in the eastward direction that I an see Lake Michigan vividly, but mostly blue sky and a "rare" limited cloudy sky--just to note); at its current weather(in Chicago) as I am typing this blog post the temperature is 58 degrees with sunny and cloudy; Tomorrow(FRI)-rainy and a temperature of 56 degrees(about 2 degrees cooler than Westmont); SAT-60 degrees and sunny; SUN-63 degrees and sunny and cloudy; MON-59 degrees and sunny-cloudy; TUE-58 degrees and sunny.  So, folks, there we have it-- for that is my weather report for today and the upcoming days! (but, don't go totally on this... you can use this as an overview, but for up-to-the date weather updates, visit some sort of news service, weather site such as weather.com or AccuWeather.com.

In other news, not much to report yet, but I do have some EXCITING news and most of all UPDATES of breaking news with me, that I am going to be posting tomorrow on my weekly blog that's on my website... I'll give you all a link to that, so you can read that, and perhaps that will just be our next topic-- oh better yet, I'll post excerpts of that weekly blog entry and then that way it'll make you click on the link to read further! YEAH, what about that!!! 

So, that's about all now, I have to get going and work on finishing up my story for the Torch.  Oh yeah, one more thought before I leave you all for today and that is something that I know that people like Mrs. Gaul or Mrs. Greenwood (my speech pathologists from my high school and middle school years) or any speech pathologist or Special Education person would appreciate this when I say that TODAY when I was in Nancy Litke's office (her "cubicle) in the Academic Success Center/Disability Services Office, she (Nancy) told me how better my speech was--how clearer I was talking-- Now I'm not sure if she meant that I've gotten comfortable or that I'm not stuttering as much, but either way maybe she meant both!  --How great of a compliment was that!!! WOW! ,But, I still think that I still stutter over some words and have a difficulty getting out some words, 
but that now gets to what I would like to leave you all with and that is a motivational "quote" that I, and only me, said yesterday in response to something that Erika Huber said and this motivational quote that I am about to tell you all has two background anecdotal instances that can accompany and that is the first and foremost main reason is "...that I can tell you've been writing [a lot]..."and she said this because we were going over my Formal #1 English essay when she noticed how clearer, and better, my writing was getting, and the second goes along with what I just got finished saying about my speech, stuttering, and (what I'm going to say) and that is practice.  So, finally, after my explanation about the background of this very awesome and motivated motivational quote that I (and only me) said this quote:
"With all that practice comes great things."--Dan (ME) [said: 10.15.08]
So, that's about all folks. 
    So, until tomorrow's post, 

Have a very nice autumnal day,
     -- Dan
