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 […]

I want us all to be happy people. Regardless of our current state in life, we can all think better thoughts. Everything […]
The inspiration for this post came to me from a guy at the grocery store who handled the store carts. I’ve seen him many times before, but yesterday I had my first interaction with him. I said hello as he was pushing a cart into the cart corral. He mumbled something about birds and looked […]
As soon as I thought of a title, the song from the movie A Night at the Roxbury came to mind. It started as a skit on Saturday Night Live. If you know this, I’m sure you’re smiling now and maybe tipping your head to the song in your head. Here is the song “What […]
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 […]
