What is a moment that you're grateful for? I was driving home in the evening from a farm I was visiting back in the mid 1990's. The sun was setting a golden color, and there was a field of golden wheat flowing in the wind. A single tree was in the field. I had to stop my car and just get out and watch the sun go down.

To make a list of a directory's files in windows, open PowerShell, then navigate to the directory. Next enter the command dir > list.txt making sure the spaces are in there. Change the name from list to whatever you want if list is not right for you, but remember that names in PowerShell can't have spaces. This text file will look exactly like the directory list in PowerShell. The text file will be in the directory you are navigated to (example C:\Users\Name\videos)

What is a passion or hobby that refreshes you? Art in general. I love to look at art and I love to create art. These days it's mostly fractals that I generate for art. But I am always looking at videos of classical artists and contemporary artists work as well as feeds on social media with all manner of digital art.
