At the store, recent afternoon, saw a guy drop his disposable orange mask on the ground as he walked to his car. He was with his daughter. Humf. At least he had a mask, I suppose. We’d be a lot better off if folks didn’t take that approach. In public health, in personal responsibility, in …

How Do You Feel?
Dawning reality as the year winds down, maybe I’m not as in touch with myself as I think I am. Harsh awakening. Sorta. Not really harsh maybe, but a personal wake-up call for sure. A therapist I saw earlier this year, he observed I talk about my feelings, but maybe I don’t feel them so …
Lull
The excitement has ebbed. The presents have been opened. Good times and love and too much yummy food shared. Lull. Dishes done mostly, house mostly quiet, now an old Barenaked Ladies concert plays on the screen. Lull. The kids went home with their mom a while ago; I think they had a good Christmas. I …
Flex
When I was a kid, adolescent really, I lifted weights. I was an athlete, among other things, and understood I needed to be stronger to better compete. And so in that adolescent athlete world, we’d talk about “flexing” your muscles. But that’s not what this post is about. It’s about being flexible; and I don’t …
SINK
Let it sink in. The efforts, the lessons, the smiles. The struggles, the pain, the doubt. The hope, the belief, the sense of what’s right, the calm, the certainty of God being near. Let it inform how you think, feel, act. Let it sink in. To your bones. LOVE. Let it sink in.
Listen to Them
It’s really hard sometimes, just listening. But it’s the right thing to do, just listening. If you’ve got kids, just listening goes a long way. But kids or not, just listen. Just listen. JUST LISTEN.
Super Power?
What if what you thought was your greatest liability actually your super power instead? I think that’s it. That’s the post. Think about it. #halffullallgood
Grinder
A Grinder is person that doesn't give up. A Grinder just keeps at it, no matter the failures, the struggles, the obstacles that present themselves. It's hard to be a Grinder. On my best days I think of myself in this way. Actually, that's not true. On some of my worst days I think I'm …
Chase
All day long, day after day, sometimes that’s how it feels: chase. Long lists made longer by hundreds of email, how can that be? Feels like more to do every moment: chase. Dishes and laundry and honey-do: chase. Dream of a race, gun goes off, I can’t run fast enough, slow off the line, sloth-like: …
Dark and Light
Like each day, this year, dark and light. Just when the darkness seems endless, a glimmer in the distance, hope. Faith helps. Sometimes. Other times not so; much too much it seems all the struggle and challenge and unexpected twists. Run through, stay true, to the path, the course, the way. The Way, and they …
