Current thoughts of the day, what’s on my mind.

Hand Made
I certainty tried to be a traditional romantic when I courted my wife, candy and flowers. She thought chocolate was fattening and flowers made her sneeze. I tried cards, but she thought cards were too expensive for the amount of use they got. She was very practical. I got much farther when I made my… Continue reading

Thank You
It never hurts to express appreciation. I say thank you often. Some people think I am over polite. Acknowledging someone else is always good. It nice to know what we do matters, and someone appreciating our deeds feels good. When my thanks seem too routine I go covert and express my gratitude by my own… Continue reading

Aging
They the young feel invincible and don’t worry about their health. When I look back (yes I’m much older) I can relate. In my early twenties I had an appendix scare. I was told if I had delayed surgery even by a few hours, my appendix would have ruptured, causing possibly life threatening complications. I… Continue reading

Inspiraton
A good teacher inspires, transfers the joy of learning. I had an English teacher in high school. He inspired me and some friends to build a detailed model of Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. He was very popular. I had a high school biology teacher that inspired me to till dirt and leaves for a soil reclamation… Continue reading

Too Personal
I like to follow the daily prompt, but gads, talking about my surgeries is so personal. I wasn’t crazy about any of them, and I certainly don’t want to talk about them in public. Of course, the whole point of writing for any audience is to share life experience, inspiration through community. Some people do… Continue reading

Act Of Will
I developed a habit of writing something new each day, even if I write only a few lines. Much of that daily writing appears on my blog. I’ve been doing this four years. I have built up a library of essays, poems and stories that I can develop into something more. More importantly, I make… Continue reading

Take My Own Advice
When I was young my parents tried all sorts of whacky diets to lose weight. I remember one where they only ate red meat, some kind of no carb diet. They developed bad breaths (ketosis). I told them that getting some exercise would be a lot more effective, starting with a casual walk around the… Continue reading

Nature’s Best
This is a daily prompt I can sink my teeth into … ha ha. The most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten is something I can keep eating and never get tired of it. That would be the Apple. A good apple is a balanced blend of sweet and tart, but varieties lend to one way… Continue reading

Horrified
This daily prompt gave me chills, imagining wearing the same outfit. Yet, I almost always wear light grey or tan dockers and a t-shirt, loose clothes that are comfortable. Some shirts are worn, developing holes, the more the better, more comfort. I used to be a suit guy, in another life, when I was a… Continue reading

Integrated
I am not one to talk freely about religion or spirituality. However, my beliefs form the foundation of the way I relate to and interpret the world. I wrote a long blurb about it just now and then deleted it because I am shy about my feelings in this area, probably too humble, humble to… Continue reading
