End of the week, looking down the street. Weekend here, feel the beat. Make the best of it, Lift it up, Let things slow, Feel a little more, Still lots to do, One thing at a time, And breath deep, deep, Deep down, don’t frown, Smile, smile, looking down the street.
Change Up
A little like a pitcher to a catcher, right by the batter, WIFF! My older daughter applied that sorta magic earlier today, when my son was going sideways. It was super to watch, super thankful was I for the magic. I had run up against it, unable to sway his mood, still looking at a …
Lyrics Post: “Lovin’ Every Minute of It”
Way back when -- think, two score (40 years) -- there was a bit of a Canadian invasion of the American pop / rock music scene. Loverboy was one of those bands that squeezed everything they could out of their time on that scene. I've not thought about them for years, but then somehow my …
Busy Brain
This little episode comes to from the middle of the night. Yep, awoken by my busy brain just before 1:00am, capturing the moment to share a few thoughts. Mind you, I just went to bed three hours ago, intent on getting a good night’s rest to start the week. Hmm. Didn’t plan on this little …

Soaked In Joy
So many little things filled the day, many little steps, along the way. Planned on a little work, set aside for life, after life, after in stride, fit in the work, later. And so it was, Pancakes, A walk with kids and dogs, Laundry times three, A little football, Kids playing in the front until …
Glimmer
A glimmer of hope, that’s what I find; That’s what I find when I look up close, when I’m open, eyes, arms, wide. A bit of hope, a friendly tone, an unexpected embrace, literally, figuratively, over a screen, A glimmer of hope, glimmer, not dimmer, brighter still, in a friend’s voice, my kids’ joy, gentle …
What’s Fair?
I listen to my kids talk about what’s fair, what they want, what they prefer. I hear my friends talk about much the same, what’s fair? The problems they have at work, in their marriage, and so on, why isn’t it fair? Funny thing about fair... at our best I think we strive for fairness, …
Lyrics Post: “Granny” Dave Matthews Band
