The song “Workin’ Them Angels” by Rush inspired this blog today. It’s a fantastic song with fantastic lyrics by the late, great Neil Peart. For me, Rush is the goat of rock music. They are on another level than traditional rock n’ roll music. Here are a few lyrics from the song to see the depth […]
If you’ve read my blog posts, you’d gather that I’ve been through a lot of painful situations in my life. From the outside, my life looked good. I’d expect people to think I had a what-do-you-have-to-complain-about-life, other people have worse problems than you. Well, I learned I’m somebody, too, and deserve to be happy. I […]
As I was creating a post for today, the only thing glaring out was a recent interaction I had with my mother and the lesson I learned. It’s bothering me, and I can’t stop thinking about it. So, I’m sharing. I made banana maple muffins yesterday. They are the bomb of muffins – delicious and […]
I knew the definition of denial (refusal to admit the truth or reality of something). When I looked it up, there was another definition for denial (refusal to satisfy a request or desire.) So, denial is also a refusal to satisfy a request or desire. Huh, that made me think about how much I have […]
I’m not sure how many people care. I mean, give a shit about stuff like being a good person, being honest and kind, having manners, and the like. How many of us work at being a decent person? I know I do. I’m not writing that with a cocky attitude; just letting you know that […]
We are not born knowing how to respect ourselves. That comes from external circumstances and experiences. Maybe the horoscope signs have a little effect too. I write that because I’ve read about horoscope signs and the traits of those born under the sign. Sometimes, it’s spot on, especially with the Leo sign. Almost every single […]
Did you ever notice when you are around a person or doing something, and you get a feeling that doesn’t feel right? You don’t know why it’s happening, but you blame chemistry for the interaction with that person or fear. And that’s pretty much as far as it goes, right? At least, that’s the way […]
You never know what you could accomplish when you get rid of all the noise. The noise I’m referring to is pretty much anything that doesn’t bring you joy and happiness. This is our life. So why don’t we aspire to have a great life? Who told us we had to live meager and small? […]
These are my thoughts on how to make life better: Pay attention to what you think and speak. Flip the script to gratitude if you start complaining. When I find myself complaining, I try to think of one thing to be grateful for, and I instantly feel better. Be true to yourself. Yes, it sounds […]
I have this sign in my office. When I saw it at the store, I thought it would remind me to stop living in the past. I mean, thinking of the past is living there essentially, right? Because you’re feeling the same feelings as you felt when it happened. And feelings change everything. Do you […]
