Sunday Child…

Three SC well doers

Bonny and Blythe

The old nursery rhyme says, “The child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.” Throughout history, several figures born on a Sunday have embodied this “bright” reputation, though their lives often involved a bit more grit than the poem suggests.Here are three significant figures born on a Sunday, their achievements, and the rhetoric that defined them.

Sunday childs

1. Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809)

The 16th President of the United States was born on a Sunday in a one-room log cabin in Kentucky. * How he did well: Lincoln navigated the U.S. through its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis: the American Civil War. He successfully preserved the Union, abolished slavery via the Emancipation Proclamation, and strengthened the federal government.

* The Rhetoric:

During his life, his critics used harsh, populist rhetoric, calling him “The Illinois Ape” or a “Sectional President.” However, the rhetoric shifted dramatically after his assassination toward that of a secular saint or the “Great Emancipator.” He is often described with the rhetoric of the “Self-Made Man,” emphasizing his rise from frontier poverty to the White House.

2. Marie Curie (November 7, 1867)

The pioneering physicist and chemist was born Maria Skłodowska on a Sunday in Warsaw, Poland. * How she did well: She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win the Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry). She discovered polonium and radium and championed the use of portable X-ray units in WWI.

* The Rhetoric:

The rhetoric surrounding Curie often focused on her “martyrdom for science.” Because she died from radiation exposure, she was framed as a selfless seeker of truth. In a male-dominated era, she was also frequently characterized by the rhetoric of “transcendent genius,” being the “exception” that proved women were capable of the highest levels of intellectual rigor.

3. David Bowie

(January 8, 1947)

The legendary musician and cultural icon was born David Robert Jones on a Sunday in Brixton, London. * How he did well: Bowie reinvented the concept of the “rock star.” With a career spanning over five decades, he sold over 100 million records and pioneered genres from glam rock to soul to electronic music. He was a master of visual presentation and character-driven performance. *

The Rhetoric:

The rhetoric used for Bowie almost always centers on “reinvention” and “alienation.” He was the “Starman” or the “Chameleon of Rock.” Critics and fans alike spoke of him as a figure who was perpetually ahead of his time, using his music to make it “okay” for people to be outsiders. He was framed as a bridge between the avant-garde and the mainstream.

The “Blithe” Visionary

Culture Sabbath

It is widely believed that a child born on a Sunday was immune to the “Evil Eye” and could not be harmed by malevolent spirits or witchcraft.Seeing the Unseen: In some regions, folklore suggested they could see ghosts or hidden treasures that were invisible to those born on “workdays.”The “Lucky” Aura: Because Sunday is the Sabbath (the day of rest and divinity), the child was thought to be under a special layer of divine protection, leading to a life of inherent good fortune.

Curative

This folklore in the 18th and 19th centuries. Sunday’s children were sometimes sought out as natural healers.In some rural communities, it was thought that a “Sunday-born” person could cure minor ailments just by touch or by offering a blessing.They were seen as having a “sunny” disposition that wasn’t just a personality trait, but a physical vitality that could ward off illness.

Religious secular divid…

Some stricter religious circles, the “gay” and “blithe” description was actually seen as a warning. Critics argued that being born on a day of rest might lead to a life of idleness or vanity.

The “Wise” interpretation: However, the prevailing folk-logic won out: because they were born on the Lord’s Day, they were gifted with a natural wisdom and a “moral compass” that functioned without effort.

Personage Saturday born…

In many cultures, a person’s day of birth is believed to dictate their soul’s name. This belief is particularly strong within West African traditions like the Akan (Ghana) and the Caribbean (Jamaica). Their fundamental personality is also thought to be influenced by their birth day. For those born on a Saturday—specifically males—there is a powerful and often heavy set of expectations. In the Akan naming system, a Saturday-born male is named Kwame.The Archetype: The Ancient One Saturday is traditionally linked to the Creator or the Ancient One (Onyame). Because of this, Kwame is often viewed as a “philosopher” or a “wise old soul.” * Attributes: Kwames are often seen as responsible, calm, and deeply observant. They are expected to be the bedrock of the family—the ones who hold things together when others lose their footing. * The Weight of Wisdom: While other “day names” are linked to war (Tuesday/Kwabena) or sociability (Friday/Kofi), Saturday is associate’s with the profound. This can lead to a reputation for being somewhat introverted or serious.

The Rhetoric:

Burden and Blessing

The rhetoric surrounding “Saturday’s Son” is a bit of a double-edged sword. He is frequently praised, but also heavily leaned upon.

Social Role

The peacemaker in the room. He acts like the “grown-up” even from a young age.

Temperament

Considered steady and reliable, but can be perceived as stubborn or unyielding.

The “Burden”

They are seen as capable. There fore, they are often given the most responsibility. People expect them to “know better.” “Saturday’s Child” in Western FolkloriSt is interesting to contrast this with the English nursery rhyme Monday’s Child. In that tradition:> “Saturday’s child works hard for a living.”> In the African tradition, the focus is on the spiritual weight and wisdom of the day. The Western rhetoric, however, focuses on toil and diligence. In both cases, the common thread for a Saturday-born male is that life isn’t necessarily a “free ride.” He is expected to build, give, and endure.

Summary of Traits

* Spiritual Connection:

Often seen as having a closer link to ancestral wisdom. *

Leadership Style:

Quiet, authoritative, and grounded.

* Common Challenges: Struggling with high expectations and being “the rock”

TGIF- Friday Child

Three Friday Childs

Finding successful individuals born on a Friday is quite a broad task, as one out of every seven people falls into this category. However, several world-altering figures and legendary icons were born on the final day of the workweek.Here are three high-achieving people born on a Friday:

1. Henry Ford

* Born: Friday, July 30, 1863 * Achievement: Founder of the Ford Motor Company and a pioneer of the modern assembly line. * Impact: Ford didn’t just invent a car; he revolutionized the entire manufacturing industry with “Fordism”—the mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. This approach made the automobile accessible to the middle class and fundamentally changed global transportation and urban planning.

2. Frida Kahlo

* Born: Friday, July 6, 1907 * Achievement: Renowned Mexican painter famous for her uncompromising and brilliantly colored self-portraits. * Impact: Kahlo is celebrated for her depictions of the female experience, chronicling themes of identity, post-colonialism, gender, and class in Mexican society. Today, she is a global icon for the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements, as well as a symbol of Mexican national and indigenous tradition.

3. Christopher Plummer

* Born: Friday, December 13, 1929 * Achievement: Academy Award, Tony Award, and Emmy Award-winning actor. * Impact: Over a career spanning seven decades, Plummer became one of the most respected actors in history. He is best known for his role as Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music, but he also made history by becoming the oldest person to win an acting Oscar at age 82 for his role in Beginners.

Fridays Child

The “Friday Child” concept stems from the traditional English nursery rhyme Monday’s Child, which has been used for centuries to predict a child’s character based on their day of birth.

According to the poem:

“Friday’s child is loving and giving.”> Because Friday is historically ruled by Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and harmony—the “makeup” of a Friday-born individual is often viewed through a lens of empathy and aesthetics.The Personality MakeupIf we look at the folklore and astrological associations, a Friday child’s personality is built on three main pillars:

* Radical Generosity:

True to the rhyme, they are “loving and giving.” This often manifests as a high degree of emotional intelligence. They are the peacemakers of a social group, often prioritizing the needs of others to maintain harmony. * Aesthetic Sensitivity: Being “Venusian,” these individuals often have a deep appreciation for the arts, fashion, and nature. They don’t just want things to work; they want them to be beautiful.

* Social Magnetism:

There is often a natural “pull” to their personality. They tend to be charming and persuasive, not through force, but through a gentle, welcoming energy that makes others feel seen and valued.

The Rhetoric of a Friday Child

In the world of communication and persuasion (rhetoric), a Friday child leans heavily into Pathos—the appeal to emotion. Here is how they typically “speak” to the world:

Rhetorical Style Description

They use inclusive language (“we” instead of “I”) to build consensus and avoid unnecessary friction.

The Idealist

Thursday Torque

People born on Thursdays are often referred to as “Thursday’s children.” Here are three notable individuals born on this day who have distinguished themselves:
1. Charles Darwin – Renowned naturalist and biologist, best known for his theory of evolution and the concept of natural selection.
2. Robert Downey Jr. – Acclaimed actor and producer. He is famous for his role as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is also known for his impactful performances in various films.
3. Adele – Globally celebrated singer-songwriter. She is known for her powerful voice. Her soulful ballads have resonated with millions around the world.

A nursery rhyme traditionally associates Thursday’s children with specific traits. These attributes apply to children born on each day of the week. The rhyme suggests that Thursday’s children are “full of woe,” which carries a connotation of melancholy or sadness. This idea can shape people’s perceptions. Those familiar with the rhyme might see individuals or characters linked with Thursday as destined for a more difficult life. They may view them as having a troubled existence.

In rhetoric, the phrase will be used metaphorically to discuss themes of hardship, resilience, or destiny. It often evokes sympathy or deeper emotional resonance when referencing individuals who bear this “Thursday” label. The evocative nature of the name can resonate with audiences, stirring reflections on fate and the challenges faced in life.

But that’s cold comfort after the fact.excuse the pun…

Leave no trace

Do not feed the animals. Do not leave food around.

When exploring the lush forests of British Columbia, your primary responsibility is to minimize your impact on these delicate ecosystems by strictly adhering to Leave No Trace principles. This means more than just packing out your trash; it involves staying on marked trails to prevent soil erosion and avoiding the removal of any natural features like rocks, plants, or fossils. Equally important is the directive to never feed the wildlife. While a squirrel or bird might seem harmless, human food disrupts their natural foraging behaviors and can lead to dangerous habituation. In BC’s “bear country,” an animal that associates humans with food often becomes a safety risk and, unfortunately, is frequently destroyed by conservation officers as a result.The Priority: Fire Safety and PreparednessWhile cleanliness and wildlife respect are vital, the protocol of wildfire prevention and emergency preparedness is arguably of the greatest importance. BC’s forests are increasingly susceptible to devastating fires, so checking current fire bans and ensuring any permitted campfires are fully extinguished—until the ashes are cool to the touch—is a non-negotiable duty. Furthermore, the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest is notoriously unforgiving. Visitors must always carry the “Ten Essentials” (such as a light source, navigation, and extra water) and leave a detailed trip plan with someone reliable.

In the vast wilderness of the province, being prepared for a sudden change in weather or a navigation error is the difference between a successful hike and a search-and-rescue operation.

Ten Essentials

Checklist of the “Ten Essentials” specifically tailored for a day hike in the BC coastal mountains?

Building on your 10 Essentials, here are some excellent beginner-to-intermediate trails. I’ve selected a mix of coastal and interior routes that showcase the diverse landscapes of BC.Lower Mainland (Coastal Mountains)These trails are perfect for getting a feel for coastal humidity, mossy terrain, and sudden fog. * Dog Mountain (Mount Seymour, North Vancouver): * Level: Beginner. * The Vibe: A local favorite for a reason. It’s relatively flat but very rooty (watch your footing!). The reward is a spectacular panoramic view of Vancouver and the Burrard Inlet. * Lindeman Lake (Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park): * Level: Intermediate. * The Vibe: A bit of a “hustle” up a rocky path, but it leads to a stunning turquoise sub-alpine lake. It’s a great place to practice your “Insulation” essential, as the air temperature drops significantly once you reach the water. * Quarry Rock (Deep Cove, North Vancouver): * Level: Beginner. * The Vibe: A classic wood-and-rock trail through lush rainforest. It offers a great view of Indian Arm and is a perfect spot to test out your “Sun Protection” even under the canopy.The Interior (High Plateau & Grasslands)The Interior offers a completely different “vibe”—drier air, sagebrush, and expansive views. Your “Hydration” and “Sun Protection” essentials are the MVPs here. * Kentucky Lake Loop (Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park, near Merritt): * Level: Beginner. * The Vibe: An easy, mostly flat 4km loop around a lake with water so turquoise you’d swear you were in the Caribbean. It’s very exposed, so that wide-brimmed hat is a must. * Tower Trail (Kenna Cartwright Park, Kamloops): * Level: Intermediate. * The Vibe: This park is the largest municipal park in BC. The Tower Trail involves a steady climb through sagebrush and ponderosa pines, leading to a “dive” into a 360-degree view of the Kamloops city and the junction of the North and South Thompson Rivers. * Myra Canyon Trestles (Kettle Valley Rail Trail, Kelowna): * Level: Beginner (Length is the only challenge). * The Vibe: While technically a rail trail, the 12km section through Myra Canyon takes you over 18 historic trestle bridges and through 2 tunnels. It’s flat but provides an incredible “Interior” mountain experience with massive canyon drops.Note: If you are heading into the Interior during the summer, always check the BC Wildfire Service map before you go. The “Fire” essential is for emergencies only—Interior BC often has strict campfire bans due to the dry climate.

Murder not ruled out…

Saudi prince, murdered Journalist, dismissal, sad,

So you’re an impoverished yet attractive youth. Somebody offers you a ride on a jet to an exotic part of the world and pretends to be your benefactor. What do you say without these contexts?.

Means world reconing coming due.

Princely price

Sadly there is a senerio that precludes murder, the price of silence when calculators smell compromise after illicet pleasure. That’s the death of victims.

Khasasohoggi ghost restless?

Is this stuff ever fully purged when it collapses. You can’t just get the vine you got to get the root. So good luck!….

Is it possible that reports sulfuric acid on the internet are legit.

For people that know how to plead and get prison terms that lets them out at night. It’s not a stretch to think, think that they know about the necessity of a body prove a crime.

This is so sad 😭 that it defies any sense of redemption anywhere?….

Conscience gone?

The most disgusting part is the perpetrators would have had to somehow seared their conscience, to continue, or does the sense of unlimited funds justifies something, that is something most of us will never get the opportunity to find out.Or should want to…

So let’s keep speculation down and continue on and encourage the reasonable authoriies that are left that resources need to be applied. Looks like it’s going to be a world judgment.

Points

Is trickle down done for good?

Should we boycott the president’s plans of rededication of the United States as one nation under God.

The State of the Union speech…

One Two three four, what are we fighting for?…

Be Present

At least we are in Canada, we don’t consider greatness. We consider happiness,joy and the common community…

What a mess…

stay safe
