How do you stay on track? Time is the obvious reference. How long does it take to complete a task? How much time do you have? That’s the guide we might often use. Our gauge to “percentage completed.” And then when we fall behind, we go back and consider... What can I do differently to …

At It Again: Seeking…
Calm. Respite. Comfort. A good meal. The energy and the attitude and the grace to carry it all forward into the week. All of the Above. YES.
Void
What fills the void? Not sure, what do I mean? In your personal time? In your work time? In your soul? The times when things seem unsettled, uncertain, a little {or a lot} empty. I find it’s things, the little things, day-to-day, these are the things that fill the void, that make it all worth …
In the Wake of Debate
What did we learn tonight? Anything new? Two candidates trying to make a case, who’s case? Hard to tell. Attacks attacks attacks. Rude, and rude in reply. Off topic, off the rails, unhinged, unraveled. One thing I took away, one thing again and again: I want a president who will lift up the country, lead …
Math: Break It Down
It's like a never ending puzzle, doing math problems. There's always another problem, always another bunch of numbers to fiddle with. Numbers are infinite, and so are the possibilities. My dad was a math teacher. In point of fact, his college degree was in Mathematics. He was good at it. And he loved to help …
Back to the Wild
It was such a success, we did it again. Such a simple act, readily accessible, waiting for you, for me. We were out on a pedal boat, sparkling gold, something like the sun off the water. Greens and blues and birds, several types. Lucky to have the chance to be on the water. Lucky to …
Find the Wild
Go to the wild, it’s waiting for you. It’s a place to pause, to return to the beginning. It’s a place that’s easy to get to; it doesn’t take much. It’s a place where we can experience a touch of the Devine, maybe more than a touch. It’s a place to find God, if you …
Day, Waning
We can all feel the easy peace this time of day affords. If only we take the time. Pause after the work day, let the dishes sit a little while longer, turn off the screens [unless you’re writing a blog post 🙂 ], step outside. Feel the breeze, listen to the wind chimes sing. Relish …
A Couple of Tunes
A couple of tunes helped make the difference tonight. The first was on repeat as I started the after-dinner dishes. We got this party started. PINK. Meal with the kids, a typical dad dinner: New York beef hot dogs, and vegetable options: tonight it was green beans, carrots, or corn. Dessert was simple, treats mom …
Holy Hour
It happens most often during the 3am hour. Lying in the darkness, mostly asleep, shifting my head, feeling for a more comfortable spot on the pillow. If there’s a lot going on — and in 2020 it seems that way most every day — my brain might start to churn. To-Do’s, Things Done, and often, …
