This is what I realize this morning; nobody said that life was going to be easy. As I think back on my life and childhood, I am pretty sure that my father told me that life was tough; and my mother was always telling, “tough”. So I guess that life can be tough. Toughness has…

I am very grateful to have people in my life who hold me accountable; people who I can count on that ask me, have I done what I need to do. Sometimes, I will admit, it does get tiring, but if I just did what I need to do to begin with, then they would…

I don’t know, I just felt like writing that title. It is a great Rolling Stones song though. I am grateful for having a place to call home, that I am able to rest, work and return to. I am grateful that there is a beautiful lady in my life who loves me, gives me…

Yesterday I received an email that kind of put me in a funk; I was worrying, just a little. This morning, for whatever reason, I watched a documentary on Parliament / Funkadelic, then I listened to their greatest hits album. Suddenly I am in a very good mood, dancing around the house. So today, once…

More than anything, tonight I am grateful for my health. I am grateful that I have a beautiful lady, that I love, to share this life. I pray for her health and mine; praying that we live a long, wonderful life together. I am also very grateful for all the different types of music that…

I recently moved from California to Arizona and I am so grateful for this move. I am living with a beautiful lady, that I love; I have a great view from my office window and they are playing High School sports. So I am gearing up to officiate some High School soccer as well as…

Title’s never meant much to me in the work place; I never really cared what my title was, as long as I was being compensated for the work that I did. I also feel that way about other people and their titles. I do not care what their title is, I am more concerned with…

This past month I have had the wonderful pleasure of witnessing some incredible Sunset’s. This evening was no exception. I am truly grateful and blessed to witness the artwork of our creator! I am also blessed and grateful that I have a wonderful partner and person, that I love very much, to share these miraculous…

The beginning of a new year! This is a good time to reflect on what you have accomplished and what you would like to accomplish. I am grateful for the opportunities that I see in front of me; as well as for the people who I am working with. This year is looking promising and…

This evening I was watching the sunset and for the first time ever in my life, I saw the Green Flash as the sun disappeared into the ocean. This is something that I am truly grateful for! When I say that I grew up on a beach and have spent a very good portion of…

I will be honest with you; I was asleep by 10:30 at night on New Year’s Eve. I did not watch any New Year’s activities or shows. I believe that I watched an old western movie and went to sleep. The lady that I love was not with me and I had to be on…

Today is the last day of the year, 2020. Some people, at least a lot of people on social media, are saying good riddance 2020. I am wondering if they think that tomorrow morning they will wake up and the COVID-19 pandemic is going to be gone? Is the year 2021 really going to be…
