I got the idea for this blog post from an Amazon review. I was looking for Creatine Monohydrate Powder, and one reviewer wrote this: “You may still not be getting everything you need to stay healthy and energized enough to keep up with the modern demands of life.” Oh, that made me think, so here […]
Simple words, right? I know. I’ve read to “let go” in self-help books. Heard it in YouTube videos: “Let go of the [fill in the blank].” So, I know what the words mean. It’s just implementing them into practice that is a bit tricky. You see, we’re programmed to survive. Our DNA, wiring, whatever you […]
I wish I could sometimes rattle off a profound quote from someone famous, but I can’t think of any right now. I only hear my thoughts that want to get out. As we get older, having lived a good portion of our lives, we become wiser from all the information crammed into our minds. That’s […]
I’ve been polishing my nails since I was a teenager. Back then, I guess I just wore whatever nail polish was available to me. As an adult in my twenties and thirties, I leaned toward bright pink colors. It seemed to go well with my black Swatch watch. Time marched on as it always does, […]
As of late, life has been harried, and I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety. Pressure is all around me. It was getting to be too much, like in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) when Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca are trapped in a trash compactor on the […]
While watching the figure skaters at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, I came up with this theory on how we skate through life. If you think about it, just like a pro athlete, we spend years doing the same things over and over and get really good at whatever the program is for […]
There was a guy named Manny Gordon who used to be on our local television news station in the 1980s. His catchphrase was “Enjoy Enjoy!” followed by things like in this video, “Enjoy enjoy the winter wonderland! Or this video, when he said to enjoy enjoy the summer beauty of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. He […]
Recently, I’ve had another ephiphany. I’ve been getting them a lot lately. Must be tuned into a good frequency. Walking in the woods helps. It was something that was brewing for a long time, but I wasn’t ready for the change until now. I felt like my life had stalled, and then I received what […]
My phone updated itself, and I have no idea what was updated. I used to receive a warning to plug the phone in to power or take some action, and I would be informed about the updates. However, it now does this automatically. I saw the ‘Update Tonight’ notification on my phone and thought […]
As we live our lives, we accumulate more and more stuff. Nostalgia, emotions, and wistful desires prompt us to hold on to things that once brought us happiness or fulfilled us in some way, such as a deflated balloon from Rush’s Hold Your Fire tour. Here’s the thing, though, if we keep saving stuff, eventually […]
