Today, I am grateful that I have a partner who does her best to understand me; and then still loves me. She is the best! We work hard to help and support each other, always striving to improve our lives and the lives that surround us. I love her and right now I am missing…

Things certainly are not getting back to normal. I used to only wear a mask when I was working in a dusty situation; now I keep one in my car and a few extras in my backpack. Rather than wait in line inside of the bank, I wait in a line outside, six feet from…

Is it a virus or a bacteria? How are we to know, when all of the doctors and scientist cannot agree? Forget about our politicians and news media; there is not half a brain amongst all of them put together. So I wear a mask when I am told. I have always washed my hands…

These past few months have been weird, to say the least, with all of the new rules for dealing with COVID-19. I have been moving around working at different places and staying in different places. This morning I woke up and literally did not know where I was. Last night was the first night that…

This past Sunday, June 21st, marked the Summer Solstice, yep, my favorite time of the year is here. As I sit here writing this blog, I am sitting at a desk in a hotel room, looking out the window at the Pacific Ocean. I cannot think of a better way to be celebrating my annual…

I do not need much to live on; I am happy with a roof over my head and good, healthy, fresh food on my plate. I am not saying that I can’t do more and enjoy more opportunities when I have more money. I can! What I am saying is that I do not need…

You do your research and your work and you think that you have done everything correctly to set yourself up for something great to happen and then it doesn’t happen they way you planned or even at all. How do you react? It really does matter! If you choose to proceed you may find that…

“Lamb”, said the Lion, “I am here.” For some reason my title just put that sentence into my head. It comes from a book that was read to me one time as a child. I believe the premise was that the lion was wanting to eat the lamb but the lamb was always able to…

Yesterday was a whirlwind! Several opportunities that I have been working on and waiting on all happened at once! This has created some work for me and if it all moves forward, don’t know why it won’t, there are some busy times ahead of me. I am looking forward to it. The wonderful thing about…

Today I met with two gentlemen that I am working with on upgrading a WMS, (Warehouse Management System). This meeting has been a long time coming, especially with this COVID-19 shutdown. It was a quick meeting, only a few hours in the afternoon, but it was productive. I am grateful for these opportunities that the…

This past weekend was spent with my younger sister and her husband at their house. I really am surprised that they allowed the visit. They were having the entire exterior of their house painted. It was a very relaxing visit for me. I had some work that I had to do and I was able…

As a heat wave sweeps across the western states, I am pretty grateful for air conditioning in the car, swimming pools and the ocean. I am also grateful that I like to wake up earlier in the morning; when the heat reaches it’s peak I have accomplished most everything that needs to be accomplished for…
