Let me just do this one last thing, then I can… If you’re anything like me, you have either said–or more likely thought–the above line, followed by words like “Rest” or “Do that thing I really enjoy.” Not just this month, or even this week, but sometime within the last 24 hours. We’re all busy …
I can’t even remember what it was that I was originally going to post about this week. The events of the past few days have driven it from my head, and filled that space near to bursting. I don’t have the spoons for anything more than that. Thanks for reading. Be safe out there. Be Excellent …
Happy Sunday (or whenever you’re reading this) Friends. This week’s post needs to be a short one. Not because I’m under any kind of Time constraint, though. It’s just that there’s a beautiful day outside my window and I need to step away from the world for a while and, go out into it. So …
Pruning: The practice entails the targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted plant material from crop and landscape plants. There are two primary times of the year where I turn an introspective eye on my life. I acknowledge that I should probably do this more often than twice a year, but those two times are the turn of …
Happy Sunday Readers! This is going to be a quick one because there’s still stuff I want to get done before I run out of weekend, and “Relax” covers most of the real estate on the list. So gather round the fire, and hark ye well. Phrases like “Take Care of yourself” and “I don’t …

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. No this post isn’t about Time Travel – although that would be pretty cool, initially. …
Last week, I had been trying to get myself back on a kind of writing schedule. I kicked it off on Monday. I got up early, and got some writing done before reporting in (Figuratively speaking) for the day job. It felt pretty good and I was glad that I’d done it and was looking …
I wanted to take a moment to interrupt the flow of the blog for a second. First, before I do and do that, I want to say that I hope you’re all safe and well out there and you’re all doing the best you can. And I realize that’s not going to mean the same …
Well it sure has been a week, hasn’t it? I hope you’re all safe and well on your way to adjusting to the new normal. There’s been quite a bit of shake-up around the world lately and it’s had an effect on all our lives. Myself, I’m working remotely until the turn of the month …
