The Beautiful Day
What a beautiful day it is today. A painter’s stroke couldn’t touch it. It’s days like these that we live for, days that can renew our spirit. On this day I’m inside and looking out. Made no plans…nothing definite. I have friends, but just not today.......Read More

Thirty Three Years Ago Yesterday
I’ve had a few wrecks in my time, but this one is one of the oddest and since it happened thirty three years ago yesterday, I thought I would share it with you. The summer after I had gotten out of High School I worked at a place that had government contracts to rebuild shell canisters......Read More

The Awkward Proposal
You and me implies we. I don’t use the term lightly, so when I say you and me I mean that we are to be a we, as in you and me. You are connected with me, and I take this seriously in that, without you and me we might just become a me and (me)s without (we)s cease to be,......Read More

Reality
Have you ever just needed to be held like you were when you were a child? There are times when reality seems to weigh heavier than our poor spirit can handle. Young children can run crying to their parents, but as we grow older, we have to find ways of dealing with our problems. I......Read More

Thoughts of Death
There was a time when I feared death. It takes away everything you have and it yanks you away from everything that you love. It takes you away from the only world you have ever known. Thoughts of being totally alone being buried in the ground forever just seems to be unfathomable for human......Read More

Rejection
Our poor delusional hearts seem to go through so much extra work and pain trying to get people that we think should love us to pay us some attention. Why don’t they love me? That’s a question that every one of us has asked at one time or another. We have all this love in our hearts......Read More

Personal Peace
I was asked, is peace in our personal life possible? My original answer would probably have been maybe, but now I have escalated it to a very strong maybe…if. Personal peace to me would have to be a point where even though there is drama going on all around us, we are not involved......Read More

The Big Picture
When we go through bad times it seems like we are doomed forever to be unhappy. We strive to be happy and then we get ourselves into situations where it’s a struggle to be happy. What kind of a world is this where we have to continually struggle to be happy? Why can’t we have what we......Read More

The Human Spirit
I get introspective on occasion, especially when things aren’t going that well, and I have to wonder just what keeps me going. What keeps us all going? Is it the way we are hardwired that makes us want to live even though how we are living isn’t exactly a Garden of Eden? Is it maybe......Read More

A Change for the Better
I was asked, "If you could truly affect one thing in the world around you for the better, what would it be?" She also added, "Do you think people involved would be grateful?" This is a two part question and I will answer it in two parts. First of all, I don’t think for a......Read More
