While doing some decluttering on my computer, I came across a meme I saved about things we can control. (How did I accumulate so many memes?) One of them was how seriously you take life. Of course, it got me thinking about how, as of late, I’ve been taking life way too seriously and feeling […]
Ever since I could remember, come January 1st, I was making a list of resolutions I wanted to achieve for the year, and they were mostly the same: exercise more, eat better, and take better care of myself. I’m sure a lot of us have the same resolutions. Did I adhere to them? Not really. […]
This morning, I got the idea for this post when I was transplanting houseplants. My father had won a table centerpiece with a poinsettia in the middle and several varieties of houseplants around it. My parents don’t have houseplants except for a lemon tree my mother leaves out on the porch in the warmer months, […]

Driving on the interstate today was great! There were hardly any cars on it, and at one point, I felt like I was at a theme park, driving one of those go-carts on a track. It got me thinking about drivers on the road. When I learned how to drive, I remember going out driving […]
Here are ten ways that I have found helpful for me to have a better day. Wake up and say thank you before you get out of bed. This puts you in the mindset of being grateful for another day on this earth. When you are getting ready for the day, visualize how you want […]
I saw Hidden Ireland with Peter Greenburg on Amazon Prime Video. It’s a remarkable show about neat, interesting places to see in Ireland. I learned Ireland is both The Republic of Ireland (an independent state, official Ireland) and Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom,) where Dublin is the capital of The Republic of Ireland, […]
Artificial intelligence. AI is all the rage. Companies are clamoring to get out the latest and greatest gadgets or Robots that will change the world.
