When You Decide to Give Us No Money

I am grateful for the work co-producer/co-host, Marc Wendt, and I have done with our podcast, Moped Outlaws. I just was checking out our third episode; we’ve come a long way, baby! The title of this post is derived from something I say early in the third episode. Marc and I are about five minutes…

It is appreciated

Tomorrow I will complete my first month at my new job. Today I received a nice email from one of the people that works in our financial office, helping with HR. She informed me that in the short time that I have been there she has enjoyed working with me and that others have told…

Henny Youngman

It has been a long day and I am very tired. I am grateful for people like Henny Youngman and one-liners.

An Extraordinary Machine

Today I am grateful for my body; it acted appropriately today. I had inhaled a giant of a pill, one half a dose of a supplement I take daily. And believe me — these pills are ginormous! I struggle to swallow them on a good day. And today…? Today, the one went down the wrong…

Early and Easy

Some days just take a lot. So tonight, I am grateful that I can retire early. Tomorrow is a new day. Take it early and get busy. Tonight? Settle into a smooth groove… Call it a day (after I walk the dog).

It is a Wonder

I feel the power of God all around me.  Lately it seems that every door or gate that I have walked through, God is holding it open for me. I do not subscribe to any, one religion; but I do believe in One, Powerful, Loving God.  You may call God whatever you want.   I believe…

The Mountaintop

Tonight, I am grateful for Hope. It springs from friends and family. It is divinely divined by those in tune with the moon, who can feel the tidal surges: ebbs and flows. And it is shared with me, for which, I am grateful.

Today…

Today was a busy day! So was Tuesday; and I think tomorrow will be as well. I am grateful for all of the learning opportunities and the realization that I know more than I think I do. God has placed us where we need to be. This is something that I read recently and it…

Mi Madre

I am grateful for my mother. She brought a lot into my life… one of those things is a great love for music of all genres. Believe me, in my teens, I attempted to play music that would bother her – or, better yet, bug the shit out of her. I never found anything that…

She’s more than that

If you have ever met either one of my sisters you would know that they are both forces of great deeds. They have different ways of doing things, but I know that both of them kick ass and take names doing so. I am grateful for the council, love and support that I receive from…

Mushroom Hi

I give up. I know nothing. I am permanently fixed upon the precipice, continually teetering on the edges of disaster. I thought I was beyond needing to deal with the pain of lost dreams; weathered feathers falling. Ashes of burnt-out dreams. It is not the dreams that create pain, bringing it back to feeling —…

Peace, Love and Fraternity

Today I read the January Newsletter for a Catholic High School located in San Diego California.  The head of the school wrote that God has placed us exactly where we should be.  This made me feel good.  Actually I felt great!  I started a new job this week at this High School.  I am their…
