I’m exhausted. Tired. Sleepy. Yet exhilarated. Even with unfair, uncaring people roaming the streets like zombies, doors may open. There are many possibilities yet we often forget they exist. We get caught up in mini-dramas. But we shouldn’t forget, life is do much more. It’s cliche to say […]
Shiny happy people. The college rock band REM sang about them a few decades ago. Supposedly, there were “Shiny happy people holding handsShiny happy people laughing.” But as Paula Cole once asked where’d all the cowboys go, I ask where’d all the happy people go? Seriously! I like […]
Everyone gossips. Or so some say. I don’t readily believe that. There are some who are vaults and can take a secret to their grave. However, I do believe 99.9% do gossip. But there is a spectrum. Gossip can go from mild and vanilla to spicy and a […]

As a child, I was never given a time-out by my mother. It can be that I was super well-behaved. It can be that the concept didn’t really exist in my community. It can be that I am not remembering things as accurately as they were. I allow […]
I’m about to fly out this evening. And, I already received a travel alert. Apparently, there are thunderstorms at my destination and along the way. That travel alert got me thinking about all the thunderstorms we must travel through in life. There are sometimes extended periods of turbulence […]
