This week the neighbors of the school that I work at will tell you that silence is golden. This past week I have received more phone calls regarding the construction noise than I have ever received in the year and a half that I have been working at this school. I informed our contractor that…

I am grateful for the game; to be a player. I appreciate seeing the world today through the lens of play. I am passionate in my play; I make mistakes. I like playing with other passionate players. I like making mistakes with them. It makes the successes all the sweeter.

I am grateful for the chocolate ol’ fashioned donut I got from Bob’s Donuts this morning. It was so fresh, it was falling apart just sitting in the box… and gooey chocolate goodness spread across my taste buds like a Willy Wonka wave of deliciousness; imagination on point. Since the sun was well hidden on…

Today I am grateful that I know who I am. “I yam what I yam.” I able to do my job; because it is just a job. I am able to care for people and share love and peace, because that is how I was raised by my parents. You may like me, you may…

I am grateful for getting a few errands done, an amazing meal with an amazing group of people… and the fact that this school year is over (almost). Oh, by the way… you’re gonna bother somebody. It just happens.

This past Saturday the marina that I am currently living at had a Memorial Day party/event. I attended and sat a table with some other people, one, was a gentlman older than me but very knowledgable about sailing and had some great stories to share. We talked about racing sailboats and our experiences in the…

Today the Class of 2025 graduated from The Academy of Our Lady of Peace in San Diego. There were a couple of things that I could have done without, the biggest being nothing related to the graduation at all, but rather a One-hundred and fifteen year old building wanting to grab some attention. Yep, could…

We are at the end of our 2024/25 school year. Graduation is on Thursday night and tomorrow is the last day of classes. This month is probably one of the busiest months of the school year for our facilities team; the team that I am responsible for. The last minute changes and details that other…

I am grateful for the sunrise I watched this morning from Hogback Ridge. I am grateful that we did our scene from PROOF today. I am grateful my computer started up this evening.

I am grateful that I have until the end of this coming weekend to turn in my term paper. I am also grateful for the wonderful community and fellowship I experienced at the last RJTF Just Dinner event tonight. Another one in the can.

I think that today is Tuesday, so I had better write and post my blog. I went to the gym today to swim some laps, so yes, today is Tuesday; either that or it is Thursday. The school that I work for is officially eight days, including the weekend, away from graduation. Needless to say,…

I am grateful for the tears in my eyes. Because, G*d knows, I’ve been fallin’ quite a bit—for quite some time. My hands are cracked, dried, and bleedin’. My work is way behind… And in this exact moment, I am grateful I remembered I need to turn in my accountability for this week with my…
