I used incorrect spelling intentionally to capture attention. This is an important topic that resonates today, on New Year’s Day. Most of us have or are making New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year. We want things to be better this year than last year. We hope and pray, we dream, and we want it […]
When we look in the mirror, we can’t help but focus on our appearance, particularly our skin. We see wrinkles and new spots that weren’t there the year before, and we (hopefully) start getting checked at the doctor’s office for irregular moles. (Please do it; it can save your life.) The sun can cause significant […]
It’s been challenging to come up with positive ideas to write about since dealing with a mighty shoulder issue. I don’t like to dwell on such things, but it’s my reality now. And we all know that what we don’t want to address will mail itself to our consciousness, and then we have no choice […]
I often get ideas for these blogs in the middle of the night. When I wake up, the idea comes to me, and I grab my phone to record my voice in the Notes app. Thank goodness I remembered what it was about because this is what I found when I woke several hours […]
The other day, I wanted to go for a walk. The outside air was chilly, so I thought I’d wait until the afternoon when the sun warmed up the air a bit. It was cozy in the house, and my hamstring was bothering me, so I justified that I’d a lot of […]

When I thought about what to write today, the song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra came to mind. I hadn’t heard it for a long time, but I have been thinking lately about what it means to do life my way. Here are the lyrics to “My Way“ … And now, the end is near, […]
The career we get paid for is what people see us as. Typing that sentence seemed strange, but we all know it’s true. Even in retirement, people still form opinions of someone based on how they earned a living as adults. Take Joe, a retired policeman. People still treat Joe like a police officer. But […]
When I woke up this morning, I got another positive blog post idea. I’m very thankful for that. Do we even realize how much power we have in our minds? We can choose to feel a certain way every moment. When we bring up past hurtful moments, we are choosing to relive the pain. […]
We’re all given the same opportunities to learn, grow, evolve, and be educated (I’m not referring to college. You can learn at a library for free.) What it comes down to is the desire to be better than we were yesterday. Where Do We Get Our Information? It seems much easier to acquire knowledge from […]
