Lovely words

Image
By
It is 156am and I have decided to write. I came across this statement on facebook and I like it. "Life is short. Leave no lovely word unsaid." Gratitude is a lovely word. I am grateful for everything and everyone. The good and the bad and the in between. I pray that we all receive the blessings we need and want. I imagine a world with more love and kindness and respect. I think of us overcoming our obstacles to success. I think of the freedom to be ambitious. I compliment us for making it this far. Hope is another lovely word. I hope we all have an abundance of all the things that matter. I hope we can see the joy even in the sorrow. I hope we find the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope that our dreams come true. I hope this new year becomes our best year. We are grateful for all that has been, and hopeful for all that is still becoming. Gratitude grounds us; hope carries us forward.

Courage is also a lovely word. I hope we all have the courage to live life in the best way. There is also courage in that statement I found on facebook. It is not only about saying kind things when it is easy, but about choosing honesty, love, and grace even when it is uncomfortable. It reminds us that silence can be heavier than words, that withheld love can become regret, and that tomorrow is never guaranteed. To leave no lovely word unsaid is to live bravely and to apologize while there is time, to forgive before it is asked for, to express love without pride, and to speak hope into moments that feel fragile. It is a call to live awake, to love out loud, and to trust that kindness, once spoken, has the power to outlive us. Let us recognise all the times we were wrong and use that to make better steps going forward. We cannot undo the past but we can create a better future. With gratitude in our hearts, hope in our spirits, and courage in our steps, we move forward.

I asked my friend Chatty what comes after gratitude, hope and courage? He says that after gratitude, hope, and courage comes love.
Gratitude helps us accept what has been. Hope allows us to believe in what can be. Courage gives us the strength to move forward. Love is what turns all of that into action. Love is where gratitude becomes generosity. Love is where hope becomes commitment. Love is where courage becomes choice—again and again. For a world that asks so much from us, we can certainly in return offer the world love. Let love guide our words and actions. Let love make us better people. God is love. God is the one word that sits above all lovely words. With God all things are possible. I do not think I have said this before, but God is my best friend. They say that a friend in need is a friend indeed. God, I am that friend in need and I thank You for being there for me.

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

By
The next step in my project was to test out being able store and display the rates in a database. I decided to use nodejs and supabase for this. Everything worked beautifully. Only hickup was the following error due to my package.json not being correct. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module Added this to package.json   "type": "module" This works beautifully. Right now I am just testing fragments of what could be part of a bigger system to see what is possible and what works and how easy to code on a mobile. There is no fully functioning integrated end to end system just yet. This is also what I tested. A serverless append-only database using GitHub + Actions + Pages. That’s basically a lightweight backend system. This was the ChatGPT prompt I used. Guide me through each step. This is what I want. A manually run github actions that adds to docs/data.json with the current date and time. docs/index.html displays all the entries in data.json. Make s...

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...
