This past Sunday I watched the Indy 500, almost in it’s entirety; about lap 100 I ran to the store to purchase some groceries and made it back in time to see the last 48 laps of the race. What a race! I have not watched the Indy race for a very long time; Sunday…

I am so grateful for smooth graduation day today. Everything that fell under my control, ran smooth. I am grateful for that. I am grateful that I am able to sleep in tomorrow morning, until my bladder states otherwise. I am so grateful that I do not need to direct traffic in front of the…

Once again I am grateful that I am able to write this blog from my phone. I don’t feel like firing up the computer this evening. So here I am writing it from my cellphone.  

Today at the school we had a traveling display of Saint Carlo Acutis visit us for the day. It was emotional for some of our students, to see such a young man, who accomplished so many things, and practiced what he preached and unfortunately died at such an early age. There were many displays of…

I am very grateful that my brother did not post last night! This means that I am at least one step ahead of him on tasks that need to be completed this week. It means that I may actually receive $10 from him this week; and yes, with the current economy, every dollar counts. I…

Pushing myself in exercise and work. The beginning of the week it was some funky jazz, yesterday it was new wave from the 1980’s and today,…

It was ten years ago today that the Master Musician passed away. It does not seem that long ago, and I enjoy his music as much today as I did back then. He has inspired and written for so many people and bands. He is a legend and the music world still misses him. I…

I am grateful for recognizing my weaknesses and not being afraid to work on improving them.

Once again this past weekend was a phenominal one. It began on Thursday with the celebration of life for one of the most loving ladies that I have ever known. She was a true teacher, who walked the walk of love, and followed the path of Jesus Christ. It was a small intimate group, mostly…

Today, my boss called me and brought me to the matt regarding one of my subordinates. I am grateful that I stood up for my subordinate and for me; that my understanding was different than what my boss thought. It was a learning moment for me, but my boss understood what I was saying as…
