I am grateful for a little break from work. Although I did work on Thursday, remotely, it wasn’t that stressful. I was able to spend this Easter Weekend doing exactly what I love to do, officiate soccer games, read, relax and swim, with person that I love. The only thing that would have made it…

Saying Grace
Good weather. Good health. Good friends. Good family. Good opportunities. Good food; let’s eat. I am grateful for all that the lord provides for me. Did I mention good music?
Fair Seas
The past two weeks have been very interesting and somewhat trying at work. Dealing with employee’s issues, parents issues and students that either don’t read or just don’t care. It makes me wonder sometimes where the future generations are going to end up. The good news is that when my frustration reaches a certain point,…
Tranquility
This past weekend I spent a whole day out on a golf course. Do you want to know how I did? I didn’t play. I was the fourth person in a threesome that was playing. I was riding in the cart, keeping score on each hole, having a fantastic time. We were told before the…
Even a blind squirrel….
Today is a Tuesday, but it feels like a Monday. This April Fool’s day has been no joke; meaning that I am not laughing. I will probably pour myself a glass of bourbon a little later on. All day long has been one issue after another and one long lingering issue. That being said, even…
Spring has Sprung….?
Well we have made it past Winter and into Spring, or have we? There is still moisture, rain and it is still cold in the morning and evening. We are receiving some sun during the afternoon and I am grateful for that. This past weekend a bunch of us from a yachting community in Long…
Maps
There are many different types of maps; and with the launching of satelites and GPS becoming common-place, you are able to get a map on your cell phone. Maps help direct you when you don’t know where you are going. There are books, podcasts and seminars that act like a map, helping us to direct…
Serenity
I am so very grateful that there is a chapel on the campus, where I work. It allows me time to go sit in peace and have a conversation with god. This is needed sometimes; it helps me with my growth, patience and lowering the blood pressure.
The Artist
This past weekend was spent in one of the art galleries of our lord. It is located in Northern Arizona and called Sedona. I also spent a day on Navajo land exploring a couple of slot canyons. The beauty was incredible. I enjoyed hanging with friends and sending photos to family. It was a wonderful,…
My Wheelhouse
Even though I have used the title of, My Wheelhouse, believe it or not, this post is not about boating. This past Sunday I was asked to volunteer at a jazz concert that would benefit the victims of the fires in Los Angeles county. The concert was held at South Coast Winery in Temecula California….
It is called Futbol
What a week for observing futbol/soccer! Yesterday, the 26th, I attended the She Believes Cup tournament in San Diego. It was the final leg of the three stop competition; the first two being in Houston Texas and Glendale Arizona. I was sitting right at Mid-field able to observe the whole field. I watched two games,…
It is Thursday
Today I am grateful for all of the opportunities that the Lord provides for me/us. When you reflect upon it, how many new things come into your life that you are able to experience; good or bad. Opportunities, I am grateful when I recognize them.
