Gratitude for all those who have served our country; and especially those who have paid the ultimate price, But for those millions too who simply did their work, helped protect and defend our country with simple, honest service, dedication, and duty.

In Between
I find my self there a lot, in between. I seem to see both sides of many things. Politics, business decisions, home life, vacation preferences, you name it, I often see the merits of more than on “preferred” side. Does that make me wishy-washy? Indecisive? Maybe, but I don’t think so. Of course you might …
Even Flow
Not the Pearl Jam song - although that’s a good one - instead the way thoughts for sharing pour out sometimes, one after another, immediate reflection and sharing demanded. Such happens during the weekend with kids busy Saturday, catch up Sunday, squeezing that and this in, just gotta grin, step after step, Do what you …

From The Pit
Sometimes, mostly in the early morning, I find myself in the pit. I wake up there. Deep, sullen, it hurts in the pit, a soreness, inside. It’s a mulling place, lulling there in the dark, lying still, unable to start. I begin to climb out when I begin to realize I need only begin to …
Mistakes
Mistakes, they happen, part of life. It’s the how and the why that matter more; it’s the preparation and the intention that matter most. Keep learning, keep being humble, keep at it. If you intend to get better and properly prepare, over time, you’ll get better. When you fall down keep getting up. Mistakes? No …
“I am father. I want to die with my children.”
Listening to reports from Garza the other day, from the Israeli Hamas War, reports from the West Bank… Palestinians, unable to return to Gaza, even as that territory is being destroyed as the Israeli military hunts for Hamas combatants, supplies, command, and control infrastructure. I heard an interview with one Palestinian man Who worked in …
