You can’t do it. Thanks for reading, I’ll see you on– *Record scraaaatch* Ok, maybe I could put a finer point on it than that. To do that however, I’m going to ask you, Reader, to take a closer look at a socially negative concept and consider changing your mind about it. Ready for the …
I’m working on developing a new habit. Like it is with such things, I don’t really know when the seed of the idea fell upon fertile soil and began to grow, but here’s what began to sprout: Every morning – or as close to every morning as possible – I take some time for myself …
Today I want to talk about one of the things on my to do list that is the hardest for me to do, and the one that most often gets set aside until the next day – or later. Rest. Now I know many of you might be double-taking at that. Rest? Like, doesn’t that …
March: In like a Lion, out like a lamb I’m sure you’ve heard that saying before. Funnily enough, this and “April showers, bring May flowers” are the only two sayings around the months that I can remember with any kind of ease. I say funny, because you’d think that if we’d come up with two, …

Welcome to the first Sunday of the last month of 2023. There are only four more of these in 2023. Kind of hard to believe isn’t it. Like where did the time go? It’s a rainy, bleary, day in my neck of the woods, custom built for bundling up (not that it’s all that cold …
I just finished listening to the audiobook of Good to Great by James Collins and I ran across this concept. If you know me at all, you’ll know that I love me a good list. I write them out by hand – which I also love doing – and the one I create the most, …
Yesterday was pretty busy. Ok, Saturdays usually are. It’s the day I can start to get caught up on all the stuff that I’d like to do, but which get slid over onto the back burner in favor of the demands of the Day-to-Day. It could have been busier still because, for a while there, …
We’re now down to the last couple of days in my month of “Rest.” If you’re new to the blog (Welcome!) you can find my Week 1 post here. I’d started off trying to turn July, which is also my birthday month, into a month of rest, making it an atypical month from the rest …
