There isn’t a day that goes by in my life now that I don’t think about time and life. I suppose that happens when you get older. I know in my youth it really never crossed my mind. I think that is a grave flaw in our young thinking. We think we have all theContinue reading “All The Time In The World”

I know this sounds like a redundant statement but that’s actually the point. Yes, our eyes are open, and we are looking around, but I don’t really think people are seeing.

Only 11 letters long but if you really think about it, this word is beyond huge. One could be a millionaire if they could bottle this word up and give it to people like a pill. If only. But life doesn’t work that way and so I ask you to reflect for a moment andContinue reading “Inspiration”

Some thoughts have been coming to me lately. I have an upcoming hernia surgery. I have had one surgery in my life and that was when I was one year old, I have the belly button scar that says so, but I don’t remember it. So, this newest surgery is because my belly button isContinue reading “If You Knew”

As I sit and ponder, I can come up with all sorts of things I want to get done but as I get the free time to do them my motivation escapes me. This motivation thing is a slippery slope. I take a step and slide back so I just sit there and do nothing.Continue reading “Just Add Motivation”
