So much has changed since COVID came to us, so much, in so many ways, so many ways, yet the challenge, the tragedy, maybe more fundamental. How many people infected, millions upon millions upon millions more. So many millions we really can’t comprehend. And the deaths, in this American country alone, three hundred and fifty …

Feed The Birds
Simple joy, feeding the birds. Two feeders hang off the house, outside windows, we get a good view. My grandparents fed the birds. My parents fed the birds; heck, one of the feeders I use is from my folks. It’s just so peaceful. Listen to the birds. Listen to them, warblers, wrens, finches, doves. Squirrels …
Ah, Glorious Slumber!
“Ah glorious slumber”, I often think. More, and especially quality sleep equals longer, happier life. Sleep fills us up, fortifies, heals us. Some need a little more, some a little less, but we all need it. Tired? Sleep! Stressed? Sleep! Lately I’ve been both of the above. Lots of change, very busy at work, COVID …
Busy Brain
This little episode comes to from the middle of the night. Yep, awoken by my busy brain just before 1:00am, capturing the moment to share a few thoughts. Mind you, I just went to bed three hours ago, intent on getting a good night’s rest to start the week. Hmm. Didn’t plan on this little …
Lego City
Our middle child, our solo chico has become increasingly entertained with Legos. I was going to say "obsessed", but I don't think he's quite there yet. But he certainly loves spending time with Legos. One collection is in / around the theme of Lego City. Is so fun, heart-warming, even gratifying, to see him lost …

Reach
One of my favorite things, my true joys and foundations for a happy life is connecting with people from around the world. I’ve been fortunate to visit maybe a dozen countries in my life so far. Super blessed. I’ve been lucky to also meet folks through work from maybe a dozen more countries. I love …
God Is With Us
On this day, "Christmas", we celebrate many things. Mostly it's about being together with those we love, and maybe exchanging gifts. If you're a Christian, you might (or should?) believe that today is the day we celebrate the birth of he we call the Christ, a man we know as Jesus of Nazareth. As for …
Solstice
Funny thing about humans, the things we notice, the things we celebrate. This time of year, yesterday, or today, the Winter Solstice. Out planet Earth, North Pole tilted as far away from the sun as it goes, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and then the days start get longer again. …
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.
