There is an awful lot going on in the world right now; sometimes it is overwhelming to think about it all. I do not recommend ignoring everything forever, because what is going on does affect us all. But I do recommend taking a day once in a while to shut out the world. Recharge your . . . → Read More: Recharge your battery
I always do the best I can. Sometimes I feel like the best I can is not very good, but it is always the best I can, so I have to let it be enough. Other people are not as hard on me as I am on myself, and for that I am truly grateful. . . . → Read More: The best I can
Everything is relative. I do not consider myself rich, but I know that to some who have less, it must seem that I am.

It seems that it may be time to start my next big project. I have been patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting for it to be “ripe” so I can start. It has not been an easy wait for me, as I start to question if I should even be doing this, since I don’t seem to . . . → Read More: My next big project
I wonder – do you ever stop worrying about your child/children? When my son started driving, he used to always roll his eyes at me when he was leaving and I would say, “Drive safely.” I stopped him once and explained to him that he would always be my kid and I would always be . . . → Read More: Parents/Kids
