I’ve written before about lists, scribbling down more words, likely same thoughts, so helpful sometimes, lists. Scribble down more words to share as I scribble down more words on a list, endless words, endless things to do.

Sleep The Escape
Several times in my life, maybe much of my life, I’ved used sleep as an escape. It allows me to suspend the struggle, the anxiety, the effort. But even as I love to sleep, especially in periods of particular struggle and change, my very being, deep down, pushes me back out, Out of the darkness …
Cheer Them On!
Hmm, cheer them on…! Just who exactly are we to cheer on…? Well just about anyone, I’d say. Friends, co-workers, our kids, our kids’ classmates, teammates, anyone who needs a boost… And after all, who doesn’t need a pick-me-up now and then? Who doesn’t benefit from some positive energy…? Exactly every one does, so lay …
Are We Done?
Well, as for me, I don’t think so. I don’t think we are done with COVID. Or actually better said, COVID isn’t done with us. More than a million people have died of COVID in the US alone… Variants still active and cases fluctuating up and down, So when I think it’s appropriate, I’m in …

Do What You Can
I’m all for the ideal, an objective or goal pursued with singleminded focus and intensity. In my life, with rules and responsibilities as they are, such luxury is fleeting at best. That said, I’ll do what I can and return to focus as oft time allows, observing and noticing and sharing along these myriad highways …
Maturity
I fluctuate, at my best… And then in a moment it’s just “me versus them”… Seeing where they can grow, where I can grow, Ah Parenting, such a grand adventure… And so we go, and so we go, no other choice, this higher calling, GOOD.
Best Intentions
Best intentions, not an end, but a starting point, Be not just content to have “best intentions” rather, Frequently be re-accessing actions, to attend, align yourself with what is best practice, plan, actions, And remove ego, so that your evaluation and following efforts are properly aligned not just for you but for all, For all, …
The Declaration of Independence
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and …
