Four Eight Twelve

Russia has invaded Ukraine, they have recognised rebel held territory as independent states and sent their troops and military hardware into the area. I am trying not to think about it because it is sad and I have no control. I imagine the people living there have a lot of anxiety. I feel pity for them. 

I am trying to not think about it because I am just a servant, I can't do anything to bring peace to them. 

I think there is some truth to what Vladimir Putin is saying, Russia did form in what is now Ukraine and they were once one people. Some of the people in Ukraine still speak Russian. 

I was reading a Wikipedia article about it. But Ukraine is a sovereign nation and have been so since 1918 and then again after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 90's. Perhaps I am wrong. I will think of something else. 

Anyway. 

I am thinking about the way I look at time. I try to divide time up into units of 3 when possible. 20 minutes is one third of an hour, on a clock it is when the minute hand points to 4. When the minute hand points to 8, that is 40 minutes and then 12 is one hour. There are twelve months so it works out the same. The 4th Month, April is one third of a year. The 8th month August is two thirds, the months preceding August are the last third of the year and December is the end of the year.

If I need to do 3 things then I will spend 20 minutes on each task at a time.
