My New Years wish for you
Sitting here looking at a blank sheet of cyber paper is no fun. Writing down at least one sentence makes it much more fun, even if one sentence has nothing to do with what the rest of the page will be filled with. In this case, I am thinking about what I would like for [...]

Colds, flu, and that other stuff
It was bound to happen, I rarely escape it. I have been in various states of not feeling well for a few weeks now. Yesterday, I was just plain sick. Today I think I might make it through this, and live a while longer yet. But those feelings of getting better were just few three [...]

Be who you are, not who you were
I am sure you have heard, or read the (possibly mildly offensive to some) joke about the young bull and the old bull? In a cleaned up version, two bulls on top of a hill see a group of cows in the valley below. One, a young bull, being young, wants to rush in and [...]

Christmas, New years, and being reborn in a new life
Christmas arrived, we traded presents, had Christmas dinner, and most of us went to church to worship. In general, we did most things that belong to Christmas. Now, we wonder what we are going to do with all the new goodies we have we received either as presents from others, or maybe one or two [...]

Only the best Christmas for you!
It is soon to be Christmas, so my blogging may be a little erratic over the next few days. I have really enjoyed blogging this far (all two months, lol), and I hope it continues. One of the neatest things that has come out of blogging is I have read more blogs in the [...]

Female hero saves son, lifts truck while men watch!
I never learned this woman’s name, and I never saw her before, or after, but what I did see her do was incredible! I do not think she could ever do it again. I doubt she even realized she was doing it as it happened. There were no pictures taken, it never made the paper, [...]

Thinking and making good decisions, pass it on!
One of the great things about life is the longer you get to live it, the better your knowledge base for making decisions. Having a larger collection of memories makes it simpler to understand why something happened, or why something may happen. When we are young, we do not have any memory base to share [...]

Grateful for life and death lessons from pets in my life
My first day off of my work week today and it sure feels good to sleep in. It would feel better if my cat did not have to come and wake me up to see if I am really supposed to be getting up or not, but we sometimes have to accept the good with [...]

Pretending to be perfect - don’t look too close
I like to start my work day extra early, so I have time to get on the net, check my email, and a few web sites I enjoy reading before work. There was not much in my email today, but the very first web site I went to was filled with new posts by unhappy [...]

Shamanism, core Shamanism, Christianity, and what is that?
I was reading a blog entry today about Shamanism which frustrated me. The writer of the blog definitely has their own ideas, and their own agenda. (No surprise there, I suppose.) Shamanism is not a religion, it is probably best described as one way of interacting with the world. Shamanism or Shamanistic practices is found [...]
