A Line in the Sand
I spent the majority of Today writing (Author’s Note: I was drafting this on Thursday). I was looking forward to it. I had planned for it: I had the day off work and I could spend that time doing what … Continue reading
Daily Delight
Today I want to talk about an idea that I came across while listening to The Happiness Lab Podcast with Dr. Laurie Santos. The idea is a simple one: Find one thing each day that delights you. The “Rules” are … Continue reading
The Wheel of Time Changes
I am an Autumn person. No, I’m not one of Ray Bradbury’s Autumn People from “Something Wicked This Way Comes”=…” Though how good was Jonathon Pryce as Mr. Dark? Go ahead, watch it. I found it both frightening and challenging, … Continue reading

Independence Day
As Luck would have it, today’s post falls on what (in the US) is a national holiday. And here I am, standing on the edge of a long and slippery slope. I’m not going to get into any of the … Continue reading
Thanking Past Me
I ran across this idea from a Twitter post from Alethia Kontis and it’s all about showing gratitude toward your past self. That’s right: actually realizing when Past You has done Present You a solid and thanking them for it. … Continue reading
