This past weekend the prodigal son returned home. It’s interesting for me… I have spent so many years of my life running away from family. Not because they aren’t good people, because they most definitely are… and life has softened the hardest parts of the past for me. Actually it is because I am, by [...]
Who has the time for virtue? I kid. Actually patience is a practical practice in diversion and the perpetual classroom for living in the moment. For most, nay… many… patience is not something to be struggled with, but instead the default programming. For others it is a toil in existence and often a losing battle. [...]
No, that does not mean it is February 3rd. Have you ever felt that life, whether good or bad, is repeating itself? Routines are a bit too…. well… routine? Things just aren’t progressing? Day after day seems to repeat the same events and sometimes issues as the day that preceded it? My world has been [...]
You must always keep your mind open to understand and decipher the clues…. No life is perfect. I write about looking at the world through positive eyes but it is not always the easiest way to exist. There are days that I honestly must admit that I seem to feel more comfortable in the over-exaggerated [...]
Nothing concrete to report quite yet… but I know what I know. We all know that change is constant. Where we are… what we think… what we do and know… it is all constantly in flux.

I like to use both the right brain and the left brain for better balance in life. Although I am not necessarily an egghead I am aware that I have a high IQ and a penchant for facts and trivia. As a worker I am deeply organized and detailed. I am thorough, punctual and can [...]
Nothing like a smile-inducing sit-down with the good old bucket list. I have often stated that half the fun of the traveling I do is the planning stages. Considering most of what I consider the way I want to spend the rest of my life involves travel… one would have to understand how happy the [...]
And not about anything specific. We humans have a tendency to look longingly for answers and escapes… at least this human does. I figured out many moons ago that I am a dreamer with problems of understanding or recognizing the “now.” What this has meant to me in the past is that I look harshly [...]
One of many in a lifetime. There is no reason for me to believe that I am going to obtain the dreams that I have had for most of my life. That could be a set up for an expectation that is unrealistic. Perhaps, I tell myself from time to time, I should tame the [...]
Life is filled with transition. I am currently in a job “shift”. Not a new job… not a promotion… not a new boss… but definitely a new environment and way of life. A restructure of the way we are and the way the business decisions and day-to-day routines will be handled… both by me and [...]
