We all can do it. Like happiness, it's a choice. We choose how we see things. It's up to each of us how we repond. Spread the good. See things on the brighter side. Find the silver lining. Learn the lesson. Take what you can that's positive and move on. Here's the best part: not …
Month: September 2017
Smile
Find a reason to smile. Easy to say, not so easy to do sometimes. But! It's worth the effort. Find something, no matter how small it may seem, and be happy about it, and smile. Happiness is a choice. Choose it for yourself everyday. Oh and that smile? Well, it's the weekend. For me that …
Good Measure
We are constantly measuring things. Length, Width, Height, for example. Those are the three I count most often at work. They amount to the dimensions of boxes and crates that hold materials and products we transport near and far, outbound and inbound. Multiply those three numbers together and divide by 166, you get the …
Grappler
Thinking a lot about the sport of wrestling lately. It's a topic that comes to mind often for me, truth be told. Though I only wrestled for six years, the sport had a profound and lasting affect on who I am. Clearly that must be the case, because more than three decades on, …
Keep Working
Today's post is a simple one, with two reminders (not my originals, but ones I hold close to my day-to-day all the same): "It's the grind that sharpens the ax." Keep Working. "You can't carry someone else's weight until you can carry your own." Keep Working. GOOD reminders both. As we head into the fall …
That’s the Job
When we get frustrated, we might find ourselves questioning our situation, maybe wondering why we're in that particular moment, why we're struggling. In these moments it's often helpful to take a step back. Remind yourself, "that's the job." Whether it's your day job, parenting, volunteering, a side pursuit, marriage, or whatever, the phrase can help …
Labor Day
In the United States, the first Monday in September is Labor Day. That's when the nation recognizes those countless masses, those often referred to as "blue color" workers. Honor those people who keep the cogs of society going on a day-to-day basis. And let's also remember when we labor without wage, keeping our families going, …
Another Take: Half Full
The cross is the ultimate symbol of "half full." I'm sure this idea isn't original, but it's so powerful, it's worth repeating and repeating and repeating again. The cross used to crucify is used as the ultimate symbol of love. It represents the ultimate sacrifice and expression of love. Positive wins over pessimism. Light conquers …
SF
There are a thousand things I like about San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of them. I grew up visiting SF often as a kid. The bridge was always there in the background. A stalwart symbol of the city by the bay. SF was the big city to me. Still feels that way. …
Stay Cool, Keep Swimming
It'll be over 100 degrees where I live this weekend, starting today. That's HOT for us. So sharing this COOL blue pic to counter the coming heat. Find a way to stay cool when it gets hot, and just keep swimming. The weekend is here.
