These thoughts and emotions that I’ve been experiencing over the past several weeks have been all over the place. I’ve placed myself in several situations, including the interim teaching position, that are causing my mental chatter to be at an all-time high. And all I can do at this point is take it one dayContinue reading “Random Thoughts – Day Twenty-One”

Thoughts and Reflections at Two and a half Weeks…
I’m two and a half weeks into my hiatus from social media. Keeping myself away from Facebook and the like has not been overly difficult. I’ve ventured out and tried two new apps, Threads and Tumblr. Some may say that those are also considered social media, but I found in my limited exposure that theyContinue reading “Thoughts and Reflections at Two and a half Weeks…”
Daily Writing Prompt – Day Eighteen
My experience with sobriety from alcohol is one that likely taught me the most. My sobriety date is August 10, 2002. Events on that day charted a course that has led the past twenty-one plus years in my life. It was on that date that I had to admit I was powerless over alcohol andContinue reading “Daily Writing Prompt – Day Eighteen”
Day Seventeen Daily Writing Prompt…
That can be a tricky question to answer. I don’t believe in predestination. I think we all have decisions that are ours alone to make. A lot of our choices are dependent on thinking through the possible rewards/consequences. And then there are those times when we don’t fully think things true and once again, theContinue reading “Day Seventeen Daily Writing Prompt…”

One Year Mark of Smoking Cessation…
Today marks 365 consecutive days of not smoking a cigarette. There have been those times I’ve come close to lighting up, but have been able to stay away from any purchase or smoking of cigarettes. While I have been able to stay away from smoking, I still do take nicotine lozenges or gum. And whileContinue reading “One Year Mark of Smoking Cessation…”
Day Nine Daily Writing Prompt…
I would say having to do any one thing for an extended period of time. And by extended period, it could be as short as twenty minutes. I have ADD and as such, find my wondering a lot. It’s difficult for me, for example to watch a full-length movie. I’m not very good at houseworkContinue reading “Day Nine Daily Writing Prompt…”
Today: 2/22/24
Today marks the end of yet another chapter in my life. Twenty-one months of a journey that no one could have foreseen. All that remains in this chapter is one more sentence. And the pen is in hand…. – Me
Daily Writing Prompt – Day Eight
This is a really difficult question. A lot of it depends on what type of drink we’re talking about. When it comes to the local coffee shops, my go-to drink is a sugar-free vanilla latte’, breve with whipped cream. This is largely due to the fact that sugar-free vanilla is the only choice of sugar-freeContinue reading “Daily Writing Prompt – Day Eight”
Hiatus from Social Media – Day Eight
It’s been over a week now since I’ve been away from social media and as with previous times like these, it’s gotten easier as time goes on. I still miss certain aspects of it all, but know it’s given me an opportunity to do other things that I otherwise wouldn’t be doing. I’m currently readingContinue reading “Hiatus from Social Media – Day Eight”
