Why Intentful not Intentional

Why intentful and not intentional: I was thinking about how much time I spend just thinking but not actually doing and laughed to myself that I was a "thoughtful" person but what I need to be is an "intentful" person. My thoughts need to transcend into intentional action and thus I need to move away from being "thoughtful" to "intentful".

Old MacDonald

Recently I went to this free baby swap at church where I brought stuff and got stuff. One of the things I picked up was this Old MacDonald book. Each page has the same scene but with an added cutout picture. For example, where the bush was is now a cutout picture of a cow eating the bush. Linnea LOVES this book! In a pile of toys she always picks it. If she spots it across the room she crawls to it, and will either push it a long with her, or open it up there. She opens it, stares at the picture, and traces her finger along the cutout picture. She then turns the page, goes straight to the cutout from the page before, then looks around the picture for the new cutout and traces it with her finger.

Just picked it out of her pile of toys


Opening it


Tacing her finger a long the first cutout


On the corner of the left page there is a little Scottish Old MacDonald doing sterotype things that a Scott would do-e.g. dancing a jig, fishing, holding a rifle. And on the very last page he is sitting on a log and is angrily shaking his empty whiskey bottle! LOL
Joe checked and sure enough the book is from a British publishing house. Click on the picture for a clearer view of angry, drunk Old MacDonald.


On the move to her book


Opening it


Back in position to look at it (she turns the angle around while looking at the picture)
