Two very special things happened today, that I am so very grateful for. The first is….The United States Men’s Soccer team won their third game of the group stage at the FIFA World Cup Tournament; this means that they now advance on to the group of Sixteen, better know as the Knock Out Stage. The…

Why Wait
I may wait just to mess with my brother. If I don’t get this posted by mid-night tonight, I will owe him five dollars; so if this was April Fools Day rather than Thanksgiving Day, I may wait until 23:58 tonight to post this blog. Today is Thanksgiving Day, here in the United States. I…
Working it.
I recently took a Motivation Quiz for one of my classes that I am enrolled in. The quiz results were no surprise to me; they confirmed everything that I know about me already. I will continue to work on my weaknesses or faults and I will continue to progress forward. If you want something bad…
Turn the Page
And just like that, today, my travel plans have changed, not once but twice for two separate trips. One trip was for business and the other was for school. The good news is that I am able to shift, without any major complications, and make some changes in my plans and life continues on. I…
The little things
I am grateful for being able to take some time to spend with family and friends. We should not travel alone in this life and family and friends are usually there for us. I had a great couple of days with both family and friends this past weekend.
Growth
Today I am grateful for the growth that I have gone through this past decade, the continued growth of myself and the people that are around me. It really is great to see the productive movement of a positive life. It is what keeps me coming back, smiling, each day.
WOW!
What a week! I have been in two states, California and Washington, three different regions of California all within four days. I was able to sleep well last night, so I am functioning well today. Today has been productive, from kayaking in upper Newport Beach Harbor, (Back Bay), for one class; getting some work done…
‘Bout Time
Time passed so slow when I was younger; now it slips through my fingers and my toes and I am not able to grasp it. I am guessing that as we get older, we become busier and there doesn’t seem to be enough time. Enjoy the little moments where you are happy to let time…
So many
Once again, I will state, there are so many things to be grateful for. If you are prepared to do the work you can do anything that you want. There are so many resources available. I am grateful for all these resources, this knowledge and the drive to change my life and the lives of…
Celebrate
This past Sunday we, my family, celebrated my mother and her love for this world. It was a wonderful three-part celebration. We started at Crystal Cove State Beach, moved to a church in Laguna Beach and finished off at the home of my younger sister in SJC. We, the family were joined by friends and…
It’s a wonderful life
The other day a very good friend marveled at how I have “reinvented” my life. He is correct; two years ago I would never have thought that I would be working on a charter boat or captaining a boat. I have always know that I would eventually move to a living unit by the ocean;…
