Silly things happen, weird how they make me feel beaten down sometimes, Nothing things that don’t amount to much, Can’t find this, can’t find that, didn’t get that done, didn’t get this done, Nothing things that obviously add up to something in my brain, to react this way, feel this way, some sort of incompetence, …

Fight The Grumpy
Before I sleep, lying in the dark, I remember the day, the weekend, the many moments seem to be fighting the grumpy, it’s deep with me, deep, so probably, when patients short, and behavior and attitudes are sharp, it’s easy to let the grumpy out, That’s the very moment, that’s the moment to fight the …
Fleeting Fun, Soul’s Rejoice
How do you relax? It’s fleeting fun, the idea, “to relax”, so many different ways to imagine, experience what that feels like, Most often it feels it happens for me in the dark, dim light, quiet, only the breeze, or fans, or wind, chimes, or ocean, physical dynamics that trigger my body is desire to …
Jeff’s Stage Of Grief: “Back At It”
Gotta get back to work. “Alrighty, chin up, back at it. It’s just hard. But life is hard (as my kids get tired of me reminding them), So never mind, let’s go ~~~” That doesn’t mean I’m ready, that doesn’t mean I’m over it, it just means I need to keep going forward. One more …
Keep Going
I ended the last post with this phrase: KEEP GOING. It’s the f*cking maxim about all else. Right up there with LOVE. Keep going. Don’t give up. Your hour has not arrived. We know not the hour or the day and it’s not our job to decide that. I have something to say about that. …
Just Life, Just Hard
I say this one all the time. I’m sure my kids want to kick me in the teeth over the matter. Life is hard. It’s just a fact. Just life, just hard. Of course for major life events, tragedies, loses, there’s additional factors that can come into play, empathy and of course love, and time…TIME…these …
It Will Never Be The Same
Certainly true, it will never be the same. This idea plays to a central tenet I preach all the time: The only constant is change. I preach it because I struggle with it. I think we all do. Life is hard. Obstacles present all the time, changing parameters, changing immediate realities, you get the idea. …
It’s Gonna Be Heavy For a While
Several truths I think I’m just going to establish here for myself this week. Saying them out-loud will help me stay in the present, in this immediate period of time after my mom’s passing. “It’s gonna be heavy for a while. Don’t expect a timeline to present; don’t expect the whatever the timeline is to …
Surface Tension
I first learned about this concept 20 years back in the oil & gas industry; I’m not a science guy but enjoyed the learning; the basic description centered on the interface between oil & water in the reservoir. And a thousand related factors and formulas. Cool. When I think about that term in a broader …
Honor Labor
Honor labor, simple phrase, straight forward goal, I’ve been on both sides, Hourly and Salary, had a stint in management too, I think I understand some of both sides, Bottom line, we’re most of us paid to work, we’re not the owners, we need to punch the proverbial clock, if not real tracking being done, …
