Getting older, passed over middle age now, aches & pains are more frequent. Ouch. But whatever, ya gotta keep going. Just, slower to start, move, react. And actually, the reaction still seems ok, but the body seems less inclined to respond in kind. Ugh. I know part of the struggle is my weight. Carrying around …

Sleep Is My Therapy
Sleep, O Dear Sleep! I love you so. Sleep is my therapy. Beaten up by the day, or better yet, endured and overcame, rallied, did the doing things, Longer day than expected or just so normal, whatever the circumstance, at the end of the day, Sleep makes it better, Sleep soothes my body, my soul, …
Ready Or Not
Ready or not, week underway, predicable somehow the unexplainable angst, anxiety, annoying to say the least, Reaching for approval from somewhere, anywhere? Any which way to find peace, relief, shed the angst, from where, from where? Origin unknown, destination clear, clear as day I find my way through the thicket, ready or not, here I …
Immediate Action Drills
Wikipedia attributes this practice to police training; I heard the term listening to two retired Navy SEALS talk about their training on a podcast. Just what does it mean, “Immediate Action Drill” ?

A basic concept and law in economics and in particular production processes, I think this law can apply in other ways as well; the the levers are labeled differently, the result is similar: At some point the output loses its optimal worth, its optimal value. And so it is. Find the sweet spot, that’s the …
Reflexive Ebb
It happened again the other day, a Sunday, a day that should have started filled with hope. Inexplicably, it did not start this way. As I came to conscious my spirit was at low ebb. So much to do, so many loose ends. And this at 7:57am. Reflecting further, maybe it’s quite explainable. After decades …
