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?”

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”

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 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. Things are always going to be changing in life and we must accept things that we don’t particularly like or understand along the path. So much hasContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day One Hundred”
