It's hard to hear something like that when you've been that way as long as you remember. In this case, I was told by a person who I have a great deal of respect for that I was overthinking things. I have no doubt that it's probably true, but I'd have no way of finding a way past it. That's not an excuse for doing it, it just means, I don't know how. There's a lot going up in there and I tend to go...

Okay, so first of all, I have the (mis)fortune of living in Florida, which is one of the few areas not buried in the white stuff. That doesn't mean I'm not buried in other stuff, though. Some may have noticed my recent absence. I would love to say it's because I took the holidays off and enjoyed a long break. Actually, it was quite the opposite. I've been consumed by multiple projects at work that...

Yes, I realize it's the start of a new year and the demarcation of old habits and new ones, but I do also know that most of those resolutions will be forgotten or abandoned within the same month. I try not to make resolutions, and just try to change things or adjust them as I go. Still, I guess the first of the year is a good starting point, or ending point. So, let's see where things fall. I want...

Okay, so it may not be popular anymore to say that, but today, I'm celebrating Christmas. I do try to be realistic and remember to wish people well on holidays that they celebrate, but please don't try to tell me I'm wrong for celebrating what and when I want. I don't try to tell anyone what they should eat, or where they should shop, so I would hope that I would get the same consideration. For me...

We don't always get what we want. Still, I'm an adult, and that's part of life. I can get angry about it, or take a step back and ask myself, what it was what I really wanted. I was faced with two such circumstances this week, three if you count my job. First things first, everything is fine at work. Still, it helped set the mood on at least one day, so I have to include it, but things are fine an...

There are one or two in particular that I didn't really think had become tradition, but I guess when it's something you 'always do', eventually you begin to think of it that way. Come to think of it, I'm not sure anyone starts out thinking 'I'm going to start a new tradition', it just sort of works out like that. One thing that has become a bit of a tradition in my family is when and how we celebr...

I had most of this post written already and pretty much bared my sole in reaction to something I did nearly a week ago. I won't go into that, but my actions have cost me something very important and although they might be willing to forgive me, I have a very hard time forgiving myself. I have only felt that emotion one other time in my life and the last time it caused a major change in my behavior...

I was recently told that by someone I've grown fond of, but here's the problem. I don't know what that is. It may sound ridiculous, but for so long, I have been either catering to what I thought others needed and what I 'wanted' that I very seldom worry about what actually be best for me. I was taken aback and had to admit, I don't what that is, and in my adult life I'm not sure it’s something I...

In a few short words, because Freedom isn't cheap. Since before this country was an actual country, people have fought and given their lives for your freedom to read this post, or any other post, or dozens of other actions we take every day. The first branch of the service was our beloved Marine Corps, (Semper Fi), Born on the 10th of November 1775, Happy Birthday. The youngest is the Space Force,...
