There are two times of the year when I get really introspective. I mean the mood can come on at any time really, but those two times of the year really flip that switch. The first is the New Year. For me, it’s natural to look back and reflect, and also to look forward and …
This will be the final Sunday Blog Post for the month. There’s still a Five-Thing Thursday coming before the calendar clicks over. And, as you might have gleaned from the title, June has been…a bit more intense than most of the other months this year. I won’t get into details, but let’s just say that …
Last week, particularly toward the tail-end of last week, I suffered an Eating the Elephant moment. I had so much to do, with varying deadlines and I wasn’t getting any of it done. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do it – in fact, I did want to do it – I just couldn’t …
If you’re a follower of this blog, you might have an inkling of what this post is going to be about from the title – and you’d be wrong this time. Oh, it’s true enough that, more often than not, I fail to get any of these posts composed ahead of time. This week was …
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 …

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 …
Today, Reader, I’d like to talk about something that I thought I’d try doing and how it led me to write the three most awkward words I’ve written in a long time. In the ongoing work to improve my overall Happiness, I started writing little “Thank You” notes to my Past Self. It started out …
