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 […]
I walked into my office, and my eyes glanced at the top shelf of the desk hutch, which brought back a memory I’d rather not think about. I stopped myself from thinking that, as I wrote in my last blog post, and recognized its source. Then I thought something I didn’t before – Get […]
While thinking about what to write, I realized that what I write is helping me. Every valuable tidbit that I share to help improve our self-worth and self-esteem is meant to be shared. I want us all to be happy people. Regardless of our current state in life, we can all think better thoughts. Everything […]
I was walking on the beach one early morning. In the distance, a group of people were doing yoga. I felt so calm. I was thinking about my life, where I am, and where I want to be. The day before, while walking on the “boardwalk” (now paved), I noticed that the […]
The article, 22 Facts About the Brain from the Dent Neurologic Institute states, “The average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day.

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 […]
If you’re like me, striving to have more, do more, be more, then this post is for you (and me!). Until I believed I deserved more, I was stuck. We can all feel this way from time to time when things don’t seem to be working out as we want. What I’ve learned is that […]
I’ve dabbled in video games like Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, and the one that makes me laugh so hard it hurts, Grand Theft Auto, where I can’t control the car and keep hitting things and people. I’m not that coordinated with the controller. I’m more of a reader than a gamer. It gave me an […]
