Risk verses belief, providing and refusing help
This is an old story I enjoy telling. This story could be classified as an allegory I suppose. For many of us the story fits our lives more often than it misses. Risk taking is not something we humans are programmed for. Either is examining our beliefs. This story is about risk taking, belief. Sometime [...]

Female heroes discovered!
I had some interesting musings collide together which I think are worth writing about. Together they make for an interesting landscape, and a platform to promote a couple of Female Heroes right in the family! The other day I was thinking about female heroes, Matt Langdon’s Hero Workshop, and chats I had with with some [...]

Grateful for family, friends, and you too!
Today is my Sunday. Some special things have happened since last week. First was getting together with family for Thanksgiving. It is always fun when the family is together in one place. Old stories are told because they are always funny and everyone laughs. New stories are told, and laughed over. We take time to [...]

Trust or not to trust, your mind knows the answer
Many people thought George was anal retentive, he obviously missed something important in his early childhood. I knew George was not anal retentive, just overly paranoid. No matter who spoke with George, and no matter what the conversation was about, George was always on the lookout for the hook in the conversation. He was sure [...]

Ziggy’s choice
Ziggy and I worked together in a large hotel restaurant. He was a few years older than I was, but he was much younger than the other two people we worked with, so that made us friends by default. Ziggy was a newlywed being married less than two years. I was a newlywed also, so [...]

Life and character around the family table
It is surprising how common everyday objects that we hardly notice become a crucial part of our lives and we don’t even realize it. I am writing of the humble table we all have in our homes. About the most time we ever spend thinking about our table is before we buy it. After that [...]

Driving, and life choices
I was driving on a four lane city street with a center turn lane. The speed limit on this street is thirty-five, and at this moment there was my car, and a second car in the lane behind me about sixty feet back. No other traffic in either direction, and we are between stoplights.
I turn [...]

Grateful on Thanksgiving, reasons for the poor
There sure are a lot of ideas about important issues in the world! Whether your concern is politics, religion, sports, global warming, or the black-bellied-dew-lover, there is someone out there who has a different opinion on the subject than you do. I remember being shocked in a college sociology class when one of the reasons [...]

Life’s purpose, and life lessons
I had a few extra minutes on my break yesterday after I finished eating lunch. I decided to read a blog, something I do not usually do. No real reason why, some are very interesting, and should be fun to read. Maybe when I have more free time I will do more blog reading myself.
As [...]

Failure is a good option
I listened to a conversation yesterday that was a little disquieting. The conversation concerned a child and a group activity she enjoys. One of the first questions between the adults in the conversation was, ‘did she win’? I think for an eight year old, a more important and pertinent question would be, ‘did she have [...]
