A good friend sent this quote to me this morning and I took its words to heart.  I do believe the Universe is always sending messages and it’s our job to be still long enough to hear and see what’s being said. Today one of these messages sounded out loud and clear.  It involved communicationContinue reading “There are no coincidences, no wrong turns…”

I have decided to continue to post favorite music I’ve found that I think others might enjoy.  I have also noticed when I was on FB, these didn’t get as many “likes” and comments as they once did.  The good thing about the WordPress site is that you can tell how many people view eachContinue reading “Big Wave Dave’s “Spin of the Day” – Day One”

Nearly an hour into my hiatus from social media, in particular Facebook, and it’s almost as if I’ve been released from prison.  Not that I’ve ever been in prison, mind you, at least not as a prisoner.  But I feel as though I’m no longer obligated to post my usual two morning posts, nor anyContinue reading “Day One Away….”

As the time draws near for Lent to begin, I begin to consider what time away from social media will entail.  I’m going to leave a couple of links for those that read the devotionals I post each day.  I also plan on starting to write more and will be sharing those on this website.Continue reading “In Preparation….”

I’ve made the not-so-difficult decision to stay away from Facebook for Lent this year.  So from March 1 until April 15, there will be no posting of daily readings or pictures I’ve taken. It will also be interesting to see how much extra time is freed up when I’m not constantly checking the news feedContinue reading “Time for a Break”

Dave – It’s still a bit hard to believe you’re no longer with us.  The news was quite a shock to say the least.  I was really sorry I didn’t get to attend your memorial service,,,the last day of school is one you just can’t miss – I figured you would understand. I decided thisContinue reading “Letter to Good Friend Dave…”

It was exactly six years ago today that I taught my last classes as a middle school teacher in the public schools….or at least I thought.  Sure, I had some plans for retirement, but it would seem that the God of my understanding wasn’t so sure I was ready to pack it all in quiteContinue reading “Some things remain the same…”

I recently downloaded a Facebook app that allows you to see who has “unfriended” you and perhaps even blocked you in the process.  While some of them come as no big surprises, there have been several that come as a shock.  I understand that social media friendships are different from “real” friendships in many respects,Continue reading “Apologies to Friends no longer Friends”

I’m not exactly sure of the year, but sometime around 1980 I made a purchase that defied explanation.  I had seen her several times and admired her, not thinking that she was available.  And then that day came; a “For Sale” sign appeared on her windshield.  I passed by several more times, thinking that theContinue reading “My Pride and Joy”

I recently enjoyed a week-long trip to the North Carolina mountains to enjoy the scenery and get away for a while.  I normally stay at the same quaint motel and decided this time would be no exception.  The twelve rooms were tucked into a small corner of the town and the time I spent thereContinue reading “The Lost Key”
