30* another day

     I've been trying all day to think of what to write but I'm not able to concentrate on anything. I sat and stared at Kenny's pigs for awhile; I watched his candle glow and had the t.v. on all afternoon- I'm really sick of the t.v. but the days have been so bad lately... 
I know I can't continue this way if I am going to move on with my life. It would be better if there were something I knew I wanted,, if my life had some direction. Both my other sons are good--doing new things, keeping their lives going. It is best for them that way and I am glad for them; but I am not able to make changes yet. There are many things I think of doing yet I don't actually do any of them. I'm on a very bad path and I am beginning to fear I won't be able to get off of it.
               ~~~ PEACE...

Element of the day (day 30)
#22) Ti- Titanium-] metal   
Beneficial to full health, or thought to be for plants.
Discovered in 1791 by Rev. William Gregor, England.
Very corrosion resistant. 9th most common element in the Earth's crust; in meteorites, the Sun and the Moon. Many uses in chemical production and anywhere light, strong alloys are needed. Used in some white paints and as a pigment for coating paper and plastic, as a food additive, in sunscreen lotions and fireworks.

Chiefly obtained from the minerals ilmenite and rutile. Mined in Australia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Russia and Japan. Ilmenite is a common mineral on the Moon. Any future settlements on the Moon would likely use titanium as a primary building material.
