Walk, Walk, Walk

When school was officially out for summer and I faced a time when I didn’t have to work, I figured I needed to once again start walking. Although it was difficult to get back in the swing at first, as time progressed it got much easier. I then got to the point where I veryContinue reading “Walk, Walk, Walk”

Change a thought, move a muscle…

I’ve been given some time to do quite a bit of thinking. I’ve started walking again and that’s helped with my train of thought. I’ve also been reading a lot and listening to audiobooks of what I’ve been reading. And while I can’t readily recall all the wisdom I’ve covered, I can’t but think it’sContinue reading “Change a thought, move a muscle…”

Moving Forward….

Life is meant to be lived…or so I’m told. When there are those unexpected occurences in life, when things go awry,,,,it’s not always easy to know what to do. What you thought about life and the people in it can change with little or no notice. It’s what you do after those unexpected changes thatContinue reading “Moving Forward….”

On a More Positive Note…

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…”

Dreams and Synchronicity – Linked?

Last night I had a vivid dream about someone from my recent past. I usually struggle to recall my dreams, but this one was so vivid, the details most memorable. Being the inquisitive I am, I was wondering through this morning what the dream might mean. Then, lo and behold, as I was walking aroundContinue reading “Dreams and Synchronicity – Linked?”

Time for a Break from it all…

Part One – Summation of this past school year…. My last day of teaching for the school year was last Friday, May 26th. I served in two interim positions this school year, one at the beginning and the other covering the last half of the school year. I had several one-day assignments thrown in betweenContinue reading “Time for a Break from it all…”

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 Ninety-Seven

True test of faith… I have a small plaque in my bedroom that states: “Good morning. This is God. I am going to be handling all your problems today.” As I reflect on the past year, I’m not so sure what exactly that entails. I know that I need to do my part and yes,Continue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Seven”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Six

It was June of last year that I started my one-hundred days of writing. I planned on writing every day for those days. Here we are, nearly a year later and I’m just closing in on the hundredth day. It should be interesting to read back over what I’ve written this past year. If onlyContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Six”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Four

Radical acceptance…radical surrender…and lessons to be learned. I’ve read a lot about the process of “letting go” and although it seems simple, it’s definitely never easy. There are so many, some say most, things that are beyond our locus of control in this world. It seems this is especially true when it comes to otherContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Four”
