I think we all have times that we feel lost, confused, non-motivated and just out of whack. There is so much in this thing called life that distract us, get us off task, take us down the wrong rabbit holes, it’s a wonder we find our way at all. I’ve been having one of thoseContinue reading “Discombobulated”

What does that mean? A tender hello, a sweet goodbye? Yes, but not what I mean. This KISS stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. I have used this phrase in my book “To See Or Not To See : Awareness Is The Question”. I devoted a whole chapter to keep it simple. So, lets diveContinue reading “KISS”

You read that word and think that this is some mystery suspense novel but it’s not. Maybe it’s some 10 o’clock news story, but it’s not. What it is, is a story about life. It isn’t fantasy, it’s not made up and it’s definitely not someone’s else’s issue. Each and every one of us inContinue reading “Trapped”

I decided to get a little personal with ya’ll and share an understanding about myself that I just realized. I hope it may speak to others. I had an epiphany the other night, just days before my 54th birthday. I live in my own anxious world. As I was contemplating my life it dawned onContinue reading “Cool, Calm, Collected – NOT”

It often occurs to me how much thinking and thinking and overthinking that I do. My brain seems consumed with the daily grind of living and believe me, it is so taxing. It feels like I am always stressed, that’s there’s always something to fix or take care of. I have forgotten how to justContinue reading “Think As A Child”

Living in the modern age we all know about plastic. Plastic has changed the world as we know it for the good and the bad. Think about all the plastic for a minute. But that’s not what I’m really shooting for here. I just want to create an image in your head and then IContinue reading “Plastic Life”

Every single day I ponder life. I guess I’m just at that age where every day becomes increasing valuable. But along with that is that I know things about life. How is it that I know things? I can’t explain it but I just do. People don’t like it that I know things. It makesContinue reading “What Do I know”

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. What are we supposed to see? That is the question. To See or not to see. I watch the world around me and observeContinue reading “Open Your Eyes”

Today I was pondering. Am I a beach person? In my soul I feel that I am but when I look at myself from a physical standpoint, I don’t see a beach person. So, then I ask the question, well, just what is a beach person supposed to look like? David Hasselhoff from Baywatch? Older,Continue reading “To Beach Or Not To Beach”
