Fishing
My father taught me to fly fish. It was the primary time we got along like father and son. My son and I have many things together, and fishing is one among them. He is more of a spin caster. We fish together for the comradery and the peace the rises while we tend to… Continue reading

Overload
I still struggle with easing back, but I’m improving. When I was a kid I would take on too many responsibilities and silently get worked up until I could take no more. Then I would have a mini melt down and everybody around me got worried. It didn’t matter that I felt better after exploding.… Continue reading

My Head Hurts
My life has improved since I developed the practice of keeping the television off for part of the day. I used to use it as background noise to fill out the house when I was home alone. The constant drone of worrisome and bad news, along with commentators and broadcasters getting crazed over speculating about… Continue reading

Hermit on the Move
Since I published my first book, I have been promoting it among my family, friends and social contacts. It is an uncomfortable process. I am a natural hermit. Like many sons who follow their father’s model (for good or bad), my father was a hermit. When he passed away, his contact with people was less… Continue reading

Walk In The Snow
I never told my kids that when I was a kid I had to walk twenty miles in the snow to get to school, the old generational lament that the younger generation had it easy, but I did brag how different it was without modern technology. They were amazed to learn of a world without… Continue reading

Not Looking
This is a tough question. Years of societal training tell me not to boast. And I’m a perfectionist. I always think I can do better so I never praise what I do. So, when I pay attention, I don’t what I am doing is good. I’m best when I am not watching. Once I was… Continue reading

Not Money
It’s a paradox, that money doesn’t buy happiness, but life is much harder without any financial resources. I once heard a yoga teacher ask, would we choose a million dollars if getting it meant only one more day of life? His point was that health is everything. I am blessed. I have a supportive and… Continue reading

Nancy
I have an aunt who is not doing well. She lives in another state and it’s hard to get there, but I want to see her before it’s too late. I also had wanted to see my uncle but he passed away (a year ago) before I had a chance. My aunt kept me sane… Continue reading

Sentimental
My kids art, gifts from my kids, cards from my wife, my own art and my books. I am in the process of reducing clutter in the house. Fortunately, the things I cherish don’t take up too much room. Continue reading

Self-Evident
Because my father struggled with finding work he was passionate about, it has been essential for me to know my path. I spent a ton of time reading books and taking tests to identify what jobs were best for me. I came across something that proposed the true answer is always obvious, evident in one’s… Continue reading
