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, right in front of me, Close to touch, pay gently, love gently, eternally, the glimmer will not …

The Power of Words
Words, I like them. I use them a lot. Words help me frame, outline, understand my circumstance. Words help me solve my problems. Words energize me. Words help me heal. Words are my salvation, the very fabric, the DNA by which I connect to others, to the world around me, to maybe just a little …
One Foot In…
You might think this is a blog post around not being committed, “…one foot in, one foot out…” But rather, it’s a quick nod to those who can successfully operate in multiple mindsets congruently.

Stretch
One of the truest, positive effects my friends have on me? They inspire me to stretch. Not all have this effect, but in a few cases, they certainly do.

Gotta do it every day, dig deep. Difficult is normal, it’s the usual, When it comes up, don’t think it’s hard, that it’s unfair, instead, accept it, It’s part of the gig called life, the day-to-day, how it goes sometimes, maybe often.

Living With The Crazies
My crew, living with the crazies. 10, 8, 7. At times I get their names mixed up during the hustle and bustle of day to day. They drive me a little koo-koo sometimes, but I know I do the same to them. That’s living together; that’s family. They sing and dance and laugh and tell …
