Every hour, every day, of this week… Make it good. Whatever your expectations, whatever comes up, whatever turns upside down, sideways, unexpected… Make it good. From the first moment, the first hour as your eyes open and you engage, each day, this first day, go forward, make it good start now, make it so.

A Rosary In Flight
Sat next to a lady on a flight recently. It was a cloudy, cool morning. Seemed like it was cloudy in this lady’s world as well. She crossed herself several times as she quietly prayed to herself (so it seemed). The risks of air travel crossed my mind briefly, and swiftly departed. I’ve been flying …
Lyrics Post: “Running to Stand Still”
Pulled this one down again; an oft-repeated theme for this guy become a single parent almost a year back now. I’m sure my kids mom feels the same. All single parents do; even if you’re in ahold co-patenting 50/50 gig like we are. Damn! Just keep up, it’s rough sometimes…or at least, it’s about all …

All Saints’ Day
The day some honor all those deemed “saints” by the church. Maybe that’s even small “c” church; all groups have those model folks others are inspired to emulate. Good idea to learn from those who’ve gone before us, those who have set a good example, who have showed us the way. Those who live in …
Look For The Little Things: GOOD
I think about it frequently, looking for the gems that can make the moment little better. It doesn’t take much, like, Being warm, early morning, to start the day; Fresh taste after brushing your teeth; Sips of ice brew in the pre-dawn darkness to start the day. A hug from each kid to say good …
Default: Ponder
I woke up straight out of sleep recently in the dark, 445am. That’s around the usual time during the week I wake up. I slipped pretty quickly to prayer; it’s a cycle of gratitude, reflection, forgiveness, and good thoughts for others. I do it most mornings to set my head straight to start the day. …
Elevate: Another Voice from the Waters :: GOOD
I like the idea of elevating others’ voices with this blog. This voice from the ether, the far away waters off the coast of Ireland, A colleague’s sister, a seafarer, kindred spirit half a world away, yet perspective similar, soothing, her words speak truth… Amen amen~
Reflections: Tribe, Time Off…Transitory?
As I wind up a few days with old friends, in a place that I find particularly peaceful and restorative, I reflect, Just what is it that makes this time so valuable, powerful, desired? How can I create more of this mindset in my daily life? How can I make the hustle and bustle of …
