I sure do like to learn knew things.  As such, I read a lot of articles.  The problem is… I am a slow reader.  Heck.   I have to read things over and over again.  I also get words and numbers mixed up.  Part of this has been blamed on “Dyslexic Tendencies.”

But the article I read today stated that recent scientific evidence suggests there is no such thing as Dyslexia. (Source:  The Dyslexia Debate, authored by Julian Elliott and Elena Grigorenko, is published by Cambridge University Press (2014).

It seems a lot of the population is diagnosed this way.  But the determination is incorrect.

So now I am in a world of hurt about this.

You see… here are some things that now I am worried about.

I thought I had a really strong liking for COD.  As it turns out… I am OCD.

My friends are raising cows, and they purchased a new STEER.  All along, I thought they bought a bunch of TREES.

As a baby, I figured I would grow up to be a STARLET.  Nope.  I was just sitting around playing with RATTLES.

Traffic.  Now there is a problem for me.  I get beeped at a lot.  I like to buy gifts for my “green thumb” friends.  So every time I see one of those big red POTS signs… I speed right through.  I just discovered I should have made a STOP.

More trouble in the shower.  I have been shaving my TIPS for a lot of years.  Now I find out.. I should have been shaving my PITS.  Imagine the dismay.

Speaking of hair, I thought it would by snappy to grow a BEARD.  Nope.  The truth of it is… I simply had a strong love for BREAD.

I heard that taking afternoon NAPS is good for your health.  But alas… I have been carrying around PANS during the midday hours.

Last year… I tried to attend a SEMINAR.  Instead, I signed up for the MARINES.

In a parable I read a long time ago … they said those who are LAST shall be first.  From that point on…. I have been eating loads of SALT to try to get ahead.

So  my troubles… it seems.. cannot be blamed on Dyslexia.

To sum it all up… I thought maybe I would need a “mixed up” 12 STEP Program. Instead, I came home with 21 PETS.

Which leads me to this… I think there must be a power greater than ourselves…. at work in this universe.  A GOD if you will.  At the same time …. I believe in DOG.

What on EARTH could it be?  I suppose I am glad it is all in my head.. and not my HEART.

And tonight’s photo:  I tried to capture a RAG on a FENCE.  And I did.  (Looks like I am making progress.)
