I don’t have time
I don’t have time to do things that are good for me. I don’t have time to meditate. I don’t have time to eat well, exercise, and practice self-care. I don’t have time to make meetings consistently. I don’t have time. Here is the truth. I don’t MAKE time. I don’t make time for myself. …
It doesn’t take a lot; and sometimes it does
My day started without incident. Most of them do. I awoke and showered. Today’s order of business is taking me to Detroit to inspect and inventory a hospital’s disposed equipment. This is a part of my job. Frankly, it’s one of my favorite things I do, due to the mystery of what I may find. …
Why is today different
Today is different. It just is. We have a former POTUS being indicted on 34 felony charges, with more to follow from different states. The state of Wisconsin is holding an April election to elect a new Supreme Court Justice who could sway the balance of power to the left. And, tomorrow is Pesach (Passover). …
A Social Commentary on Gun Violence;
Fear is big business and Empathy needs to reign I watch too much television, Youtube, and other forms of media. Without knowing how much is too much, it’s safe to say my time could be better spent. I gravitate toward gangster films and “real life” homicide shows. Netflix has a new docuseries that focuses on…
Small tips to conquer the doldrums; a buyer’s guide to intention
I don’t like daylight savings. I understand the concept and need for farmers to gain the extra morning daylight hours, in the early 1900’s. Now, it seems like another obstacle to wreck my sleep. Typically, regardless of direction we move the clock, DST costs me three days. That’s six days a year that I struggle…
Grief gets in the way; a non-sequitur of mess with frequent expletives
Writer’s block is real. It has taken a hold of me. So, with that, this is going to be an exercise to EXPELL THE DEMONS. I will write a gibberish filled non-sequitur blog until I am properly cured of the “blocks.” Much of my issues are stemming from the loss of a friend. We shared…
Happy 23 Sweet Prince
Tomorrow will be the third heavenly birthday for Jacob. I don’t remember the last two. This is year feels especially difficult, but without memory of the others, that statement may be incorrect. So much of my life is consumed with his death being in a parallel universe, free from pain and suffering. The fact remains…
When escaping doesn’t work
Many of us look for “real life” escapes. A brief departure from the mundane or stressful. Perhaps we look to escape abuse or a bad breakup. I turned to sports. There was a pond behind my house that was filled by local firemen every winter. I spent my winters there day and night. My favorite…
I just cannot press “delete contact”
I’ve always preferred personal contact rather than text messages. Even in class, while many kids traded elaborate “notes”, I wanted to talk. This is not to say I didn’t pass notes in class. I did. We live in a world dominated by texts and DM’s. It’s become too easy. Relationships are too convenient at times. …
We Don’t Need Encouragement
I have been obese for over 21 years. My fat is actually old enough to drink. In 2004, however, I became a sober member of society. This means, not even my fat is allowed to consume alcohol. As a child and young adult, my weight wasn’t an issue. Addictions of many kinds ruled my chaotic…
