The hidden benefits of friends coming over
One time I went to a party in a nice, modest home. The kids were on their best behavior and the house was prepared with all the things that go into a home party. It was a very fun time. The host and hostess were happy, fun people and everyone had a good time. As […]
Do you ever wonder what life is like after?
I bet most people do. I mean everything seems rather pointless if there isn\’t something after don\’t you think? But what is real and what is wishful thinking? Every religion seems to have some tidy answers but I don\’t know that any have \”all\” the answers. I think in some way everything is connected to […]
Stepping stones to nowhere
Hurray! I just finished an Google Adwords course on Udemy. I started on April 9th and spent an hour each day learning it. Missed a few days but for the most part I kept at it. There were 100 videos to watch and learn from – so very extensive but over the top worth while. […]
The single most important empowerment for rising above discouragement
Not going to waste any time here getting to the point. The most important empowerment is having a friend or two that you can connect with whenever the gloomies start invading your happy space. For instance I have one friend who though we are hundreds of miles apart I can call up almost any time […]
Small daily steps or Massive Action?
It\’s very hard to be content with doing small actions when you are starting a new project. The big vision is there like a mountain begging to be climbed. Today. Not tomorrow, not six months down the road. You are so filled with excitement, dreams and plans for getting to the top that the idea […]

The gift of smiling 2.) The gift of […]
I don\’t know where I\’m going but I\’m on my way
This is Post Number One at Sunshine Moments. I have been thinking myself into knots trying to figure out what I wanted to do and finally I got so mad at myself I said, \”Dang it! Just do something!\” Last week I read about this very interesting concept from Darren Rowse at ProBlogger about figuring […]
Canadian geese at Marine Park
So far this month we have had almost five inches of rain. This is about two and a half times the normal dumping if I remember the latest weather report. Today we\’ve only had clouds and a few moments where the sun almost peaked through. But rain or not I wanted to get a photo […]
This was funny
Walking across the Winco parking lot in Hazel Dell is not usually this entertaining. But when I saw this gas tank art I laughed. Is this something new that is going on? Have you seen funny stuff like this on cars? Save Save
This post is a bit different
Today\’s post is taking a different path. A more personal, reflective one. That is how I use to write when I was in the monastery and since leaving (it has now been about six years) I try to write like a journalist and it works for an article or two and then I can\’t move. […]
