Poet, Writer, and Imperfect Human Extraordinaire
I saw this picture today and immediately thought of Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken. It’ s one of my favorite poems. It often comes to mind whenever I have changes happening in my life. It reminds me that we always have a choice, and we should be careful […]
I did it! I beat the hill today! Take that you pain in the arse! Ha! Beat me you can’t, not today! Maybe the rest I took yesterday helped because today I not only made it to the hill, I made it up it without having to push myself hard. I had mentally prepared myself […]
Tonight I am struggling to find something to write. The words just will not come. I am heartsore this evening and, therefore, have decided to take a rest from things for the night. But I did want to put something inspiring up tonight so that tomorrow, or the next time I am feeling down, I […]
I started this blog about a month ago and it was around that same time that my friend Michelle made a suggestion that I should start practicing meditation. The very next day there was a blog post by someone I follow about meditation. I thought, “Well, that’s a bit odd.” Since then, there has […]
My two year old loves watching Cars, the Disney/Pixar movie. He ‘discovered’ it over the summer. I have seen that movie so many times. It’s a really good thing I like Owen Wilson and that movie. But I know that opening line so well I can say it in my sleep. I probably have, too. […]

For the last week I’ve been hearing about all the cold weather in the north of the country. Here in Texas we’ve had warm temperatures for this time of season. I’m not bragging or trying to make you jealous. It’s just a fact. It’s been warm. Normally, I’d actually be upset by that. I love […]
“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.” Margaret Cousins I just got through reading some tweets on my Twitter home page. This one particular tweet stood out and I cannot stay quiet about it. The tweet itself was a retweet that […]
“Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done” James Dean I’m listening to my Pandora app as I write this and I swear it has been hijacked. Every one of my favorite songs has been playing all day. I’m not talking about the […]
“Your perception of me is a reflection of you; my reaction to you is an awareness of me.” Anon. I’ve been enjoying my visit with my niece and her best friend. We’ve talked, I’ve listened, we’ve laughed, and they’ve played with (i.e. tormented) my kids. Right now they are “watching” Pete’s Dragon while on their […]
