Aging: You Don’t Have To Like It But You Don’t Have To Fight It
I had a conversation with someone this week who told me that some mutual friends were struggling. Just like the rest of us, they are aging but they’re having some health issues and some difficulty with general tasks like getting dressed and taking care of themselves. They’re depressed. They’re angry. And I totally get it.…

Yes I Watch The Super Bowl. I Never Miss It!
Yes I’ll be watching tonight. I never miss the Super Bowl. I’ll have my butt in my recliner for kick off! Much earlier than that actually. My love for football started back in 1972. I was 11 years old and I started to appreciate the game. That’s also the year I became a Miami Dolphin…

But Does Any Of It Work??
If you spend any time at all online, I’m sure you’ve noticed all of these wonderful products that will cure ______. (Enter anything you struggle with.) But do any of them work?

Motivation Monday – January 20, 2025
How many times have you overthought a situation? I know I’ve done it many times. You get an idea, you shape it and you’re all set and then you think about it some more. You worry if you forgot something. I recently read a post on Reddit that said 85% of what we worry about…

Motivation Monday January 13, 2025
Like any good “Thought For The Day” it’s easier said than done. “What do you mean I never lose? I lose several times a week.” Do you though? It really is all in the way you react to things. If you look at every non-win as a learning experience, think what that would do to…

Welcome To The World Little One!
For those that follow me on Facebook, you heard the news this week: my granddaughter was born in Virginia on Monday! Actually I think I made that post on Wednesday. My son said, “Don’t post anything yet. Marla and I want to be the first.” We said okay and then waited— and waited. I know,…

Why Does God Take The Good People?
Did you ever wonder why God takes the good people? Truth revealed: I don’t know. But… I have an idea. I was shocked this week, like many others, when I heard the news that Dr. Edward Klein from Hawthorn Medical and St. Anne’s Hospital had died. First I read a post on Facebook from someone…

Let’s Fill That Notebook!
Even though Christmas has come and gone, I soon get to open one of my favorite presents! And I can’t wait! It’s something I get every year around this time. It’s not a sweater. No it’s not another Christmas coffee mug (I got a few of those over the years). It’s something I can use…
