Celebrated on many countries in one form or another, Here in America it’s about Turkey and other foods indigenous to North America; It’s also about shopping for some, early “deals”, for Black Friday, It’s about getting loved ones together for food and football and maybe watching a parade, maybe throwing a football around too. I’m …

Gratitude. Have it. That’s the post. Good time of year for it.
Lion Lessons
Remember the ethos: We Serve. Let that guide all actions. Remember that fellowship, regardless of the basis or depth, should be celebrated. All phases of the project went pretty well. 225 turkeys, 175 gallons of milk, and cartons of eggs, hundreds of dry goods and cans collected, sorted, packed, delivered; many hands made for lighter …
Lions Work: Delivery Day
Today (Monday), it’s the final push. Tens of boxes and two pallets piled high with milk and turkeys become two boxes each of Thanksgiving Dinner, plus some staples, for 220 families. Final sort, final load, final prep for delivery. We HAVE to come through. A thousand people count on us, on this program. And so …

Screen
Funny thing, screen, So inviting, tantalizing, a desiring like flame, For fun, work, school, tasks, things many, to make, produce, decide, enjoy, Just a little more, stare, soak, succumb, old to young, many many, A pretty penny of time poured in, don’t give in, remain the master of the screen, no disaster, As long as …
Longing Languish
Toss up, how goes in the small hours. Longing, languish, which one will win, come out ahead? Wishing, praying for a good night’s rest, Becomes a test of skill, and will, to calm and control, Did I sleep? Yea, sometimes hard to know. Intentional breathing, counting, repeated, seeming, To be the way and find the …
Face Off
Face off with my anxiety, pulsing through, Too early! Too early! Stop I say, stop! Then settle in with it, face off with it, deal with it, And it’s fine. I’M not all together fine, but I’m ok, I’m going to be ok, Faced off, faced down, the demon anxiety, my companion, my teacher, and …
Sooth
Gentle music, jazz, classical, Sips of hot tea…or cold vodka, Deep breaths, just five, maybe five more if you can spare the time, A lengthy gaze out the window, at the wall, Consider it all, know you’re able, KNOW it… Afford yourself the love, Be soothed.
