Today

This morning is a beautiful morning. There is not a cloud in the sky. I am blessed to be able to enjoy another day like this. Yesterday I was officiating a High School soccer game at a all girls Catholic High School; one of the nuns and I were discussing what a beautiful day it…

The ARTs

I am a student of art! I see art in everything and everywhere. I truly appreciate the art that our creator shares with us. The beauty of this world is truly amazing. Walking in the desert, mountains or by the ocean it is easy to be impressed by what the creator has made for us….

Can’t think of one…

Meaning that I can’t think of a title or I can’t think of just one thing that I am grateful for. I am very happy with my life; I know that I have written that many times before, it must be true. So I am very grateful for my life. I am grateful for the…

Spring is near

The Jewish holiday of Purim is almost upon us, Lent started yesterday with Ash Wednesday and Spring Training has begun in Arizona; the Major League baseball games will soon be played. This means that Spring is near. I love the Spring time. I prefer warmer weather and I love sunshine; probably because I love being…

Work it out

I am so very grateful for all of the people, friends and family members, who continue to support, counsel and mentor me. Life can be so heavy and difficult, especially if you try to face it alone or accomplish things all by yourself. When you have other people to turn to, and you are truly…

I am…..

Today I am grateful for the ALMIGHTY. I am grateful that I have a faith in a higher power than any human that I have met. I don’t expect this higher power to give me anything that I have not worked for or don’t deserve. I do ask for the counsel of the almighty; I…

It ain’t easy

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…

Accounts

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…

Give me shelter

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…

Thank Goodness for Music

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…

Songs in the Air

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…

Let’s Play

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…
