I spent some time reflecting yesterday on how my faith life has been lacking a bit here of late. But I am also reminded that I have a lot to be thankful for in this life. An attitude of gratitude goes a long way in helping combat any feeling of lack I might be havingContinue reading “On a More Positive Note…”

Mind over Matter….
Do the thoughts and emotions running through our minds have an effect on the outside world? Quite a bit of the reading I’ve done here of late would seem to say “yes.” Fascinating concept and something to ponder as I go through my daily routine. I can readily say that I am an overthinker asContinue reading “Mind over Matter….”
The Blue Feather Experiment – Put to the Test
I recently saw a post on social media about the “Blue Feather Experiment.” The premise is that one would set the intention to see a blue feather. You would then go along your way, not consciously thinking about the intention, but just waiting for it to appear. I decided to try the experiment or outContinue reading “The Blue Feather Experiment – Put to the Test”
Smoking Cessation – Not an Easy Road
Today marks ninety-one days of not smoking cigarettes. It’s definitely not easy road to travel, but I know it’s for my ultimate good. I had rolled up over 150 days back in December, but an emotionally-charged event occurred in my life and I succumbed to the urge to pick up again. I smoked a packContinue reading “Smoking Cessation – Not an Easy Road”
100 Days of Writing – Day One Hundred
It’s taken me just over eleven months to get one hundred days of writing. As I look back over the ninety-nine posts, I’m reminded of on thing: impermanence.

So much hasContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day One Hundred”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Eight
Random journal entries are interesting to read and sometimes give a new perspective on the past…These are my words from a journal that contains a wide variety of views and observations. I don’t have any particular objective with my selection of writings. Just to share what was going through my mind at the time. NovemberContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Eight”
100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Five
It would seem that tests of faith abound here of late. I’ve found my beliefs to be changing in broad respects. Is it just a stage or something much larger? I’ve heard it often said that we face many tests of faith in our lives. This past year has seen more of those tests ofContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Five”
100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Three
The world of emotions can be like a roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs. But as a friend reminded me today, at least I have a roller coaster. This week of spring break has been a good time to relax and get a few things done around the house. While I didn’tContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Three”
Shared Reading: “The Point of No Return”
There are those points in our lives when we realize we cannot return to our former way of living. And while those times past can often come calling, we have to understand that staying in the present moment and moving forward are always going to be in our best interest. I struggle with this onContinue reading “Shared Reading: “The Point of No Return””
