Everyone is recalling 9/11/01 and what went wrong. Let us be grateful for what we have and put negative thoughts where they belong. Let’s forget selfishness and looking out for number one. Instead, let’s thank our country’s heroes for all they have done. Let’s forget the blaming game that is full of hate. Rather, let’s […]
A lower number on the scale could be a bad thing…
I’m not a fan of scales in the first place. We have become too obsessed over weight. We are all different heights and body builds, so numbers on a scale aren’t really the best measure. In fact, when you step on the scale and the numbers are lower, that may not be good at all. […]
Be Grateful
While recently laid up with surgery, I was missing my mom. She passed away in 1997. I wished I could call her and ask for her help. She would have come and made healing up so much more enjoyable. Of course, she would have also got on my nerves as only a mother can do! […]
Perspective is gained through time
Time isn’t what heals a hurt, but given time, we often reflect and contemplate what we’ve been through. Without the intensity of raw feelings, in time, we can see struggles and storms of life differently. Time certainly doesn’t change the fact that we went through hell, but time can give us a new perspective. What […]
What are you guilty of?
At the end of the day–at the very end of life–I want to be found guilty: Guilty of giving more than I received, guilty of loving until I hurt, guilty of giving people the benefit of the doubt, guilty of trusting people, and guilty of thinking the best of people. Do you want to be […]
Good health is Worth More Than a Million Dollars
If someone told you that behind a steel store was 50 million dollars in which you could claim with the only condition being you had to open the vault, would you? Let me sweeten the deal…you are allowed to hire experts and use any tools you wish. Would you do it? You’d be foolish not […]
Celebrate Winners
During one of the last stages of Le Tour de France this year, someone apparently threw tacks on the race course. Really? Cadel Evans, last year’s winner, got not one or even two but THREE flat tires. Thankfully, the yellow jersey slowed everyone down in order for Evans to catch up. Seems like someone didn’t […]
After the storm comes the calm
We officially live in the Friendswood area of Texas. Getting here was quite the journey. About everything that could go wrong with a move did. Our mortgage deal and closing were botched to the point where we almost lost our new home. The moving company was weighed and found wanting as they damaged a lot […]
It’s All in the State of Mind
I certainly didn’t break any records running my first marathon, but I enjoyed myself. I witnessed the sun coming up over the mountains as the birds awoke. As I followed the river, it’s steady sound put me in a trance. I thanked all the volunteers at every stage for being there with fresh water and […]
Quit Complaining
I recently asked a lady who moved to Colorado how long it took her to adjust to the sporadic weather, which I’m having difficulty with since living in Southern California. She replied, “It took me five years.” Curious about that, I asked, “What happened at five years.” She simply stated, “I quit complaining.” The weather […]
