The Worst Part Of My Texas Trips
There’s only one bad part about my trips to Texas. No it’s not all the connecting flights. It’s not the fact that one flight lands at gate 2 and the connecting flight is at gate 47. No it’s not the price of food at the airports. It’s not even the time I missed my flight…

I’ve Determined The Best Use For Social Media Is Puppy Videos
Yes I have determined that, lately, the best use for social media is to stream puppy videos. And maybe inspirational posts. I like those too. To be honest, I still go on social media everyday but not as much as I used to. I use Facebook for work, as you can see by the fact…

And Another Thing: Could We Please Stop Updating My Phone?
Could we please stop with the updates? It can really get confusing. This week I was glad to learn that I’m not alone. My wife doesn’t like it. Colleagues at work don’t like it. Even my minister doesn’t like it. I’m talking about all the updates we get on our phone…THAT WE NEVER ASKED FOR!…

Aging: You Don’t Have To Like It But You Don’t Have To Fight It

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,…

They Say “You Become What You Constantly Think About.” Think So?
You become what you constantly think about. Have you heard that before? I’ve read it, heard it and viewed it many times and I saw it again this week. Earlier this week I saw a video on TikTok from a man named Rob Dial. Rob has a podcast called “The Mindset Mentor.” He’s a podcaster,…

You Know… You Do Have A Choice
I was out walking the dog a couple of weeks ago when a neighbor stopped me to say, “Hi!” I hadn’t seen her in awhile even though we live across the street from one another. She asked me how I was doing and I was having a good day so I told her I was…
