I had a blog post written, but something made me pivot and change it. I learned that a guy I knew had passed away. I didn’t know how, just that he died. And though I wasn’t close to him, it still affected me. So this is what I chose to write about today. Since I […]
Everything we need to live a happy life is here. It’s all here. We need to pay attention and watch for signs. You know those gut feelings or weird sensations nudging you to do something? I’ve gotten those feelings many times before. And most of the time, I didn’t heed the warnings or follow the […]
I remember when I was a kid, during a family dinner when my mother had put her hand out and wanted us to kiss it for doing such an excellent job on the meal she cooked. I’m sure she was kidding around, but it got me thinking. Maybe she did that because she felt underappreciated. […]
My last blog was about doing and having all you want and not feeling bad or guilty for it. This one is about giving thanks. What does it mean when you think about giving thanks? We can be thankful for good health, family, and love. But what does that mean? There’s this concept floating around […]
I have a sign in my office with these exact words. What we have in our lives is what we believe we deserve. If we drive a beautiful luxury automobile, then that’s what we believe we deserve.

While in a waiting room recently, I saw a promotional program on the television about a man who had surgery on his head. The former patient boasted that the doctor went into the wrinkle on his forehead, and he didn’t have a scar because of it. The gears started moving in my head, and this […]
As a teenager, I had a dog named Misty. She was a beautiful Weimaraner. I think my oldest brother brought her home as a puppy to be trained as a bird-hunting dog. He built a “pen” for her in the backyard with a wooden doghouse and a concrete pad, maybe an eight to ten-foot area […]
While driving, the song “Casey Jones” by The Grateful Dead played on the car radio, giving me an idea for a blog post. I enjoyed listening to it. Though I never considered myself a “Deadhead,” I like their music. When I checked to see if Deadhead is one or two words, I couldn’t believe it […]
If you’ve been reading my posts, you’d know I have been doing a lot of work on myself and getting closer and closer to complete happiness. I don’t believe that’s a tall order. I think we have the ability and power to change our lives, no matter what had happened in the past. And guess […]
