The way forward. Compromise. “Not every disagreement on every issue requires a war; that’s not reasonable; that’s not responsible leadership. We elect our leaders to govern; we expect our leaders to govern. If you’re not protecting our people and moving our society forward, you’re not governing. You’re not doing your job. The Gang of Six, …

Up and Down
Up and down things go, every hour, every day. Moods, fortunes, progress, or lack there of. Sometimes, maybe frequently, the best we can do is keep going. Sometimes the best we can do is take the step forward. Let’s do that today. Up or down, when things settle, go forward. Let’s go forward together.
#Blessed
To be alive right now. To be the parent of these three amazing kids. To have the family I have. To have the friends I have. To have seen the concerts I’ve see. To have clothes on my back, shoes on my feed, a roof over my head, and food to eat in abundance and …
Compromise 1
Compromise, the way forward. Compromise, the path of peace. Compromise, the way to find, create, harmony. Compromise, the way to live happily with others. Give a little; take a little; compromise. In friendships, at work, at home, in marriage, in life. Be willing to... COMPROMISE.
Lyrics Post: “Human Touch”
I’m only a so-so Bruce fan. But this song...it feels full of truth and vulnerability...it feels...GOOD. "Human Touch" You and me we were the pretendersWe let it all slip awayIn the end what you don't surrenderWell the world just strips away Girl ain't no kindness in the face of strangersAin't gonna find no miracles hereWell …

Of course family is important, I thought, but so is spending time with other friends, doing fun things, etc. Typical teenager thoughts, young person thoughts, natural. I thought at the time my mom was trying to …
Valentine
Most of my life, fleeting, this idea, of “valentine”. But never fleeting, the ideal of “love.” That is what I am committed to. I’ve been blessed with enough romance to smile, and tingle, in my life. I hope for more. But of love? Of love I am sure. And forever. And evermore.
Lyrics Post: “Beast of Burden”
"Beast Of Burden", The Rolling Stones. Not much needs to be said. Same old magic. The riff, the lyric, the feel...all I want... “I'll never be your beast of burden My back is broad, but it's a-hurting All I want, for you to make love to me I'll never be your beast of burden I've …
Swing Away
Maybe a baseball term, maybe golf, maybe just in my head. The intent is the same: Don’t hold back, you’re free to make the decision, do what you think best, swing away. Just make contact, play it safe, or let it all hang out, full rotation, come what may. I think I play it safe …
Skinned Knees: Hope Is A Salve
Skinned knees. Remember them before? Maybe recently? Even if it’s been a while since you physically fell to the ground...maybe you’ve had a series of fails at work - it’s sort of the same. It stings; it hurts; the wound lingers, there’s periodic pain, it doesn’t go away quickly. What’s the answer, what’s the salve …
