This past Sunday I drove my partner’s pickup truck from Scottsdale Arizona to San Diego California. It was loaded to the brim with quite a load. It is not a new truck; in fact it is old enough that it does not have Bluetooth connection in it or even GPS. It does have a CD…

The other day I was speaking to my daughter on the phone. I have always called her my “Little Little”. At the age of twenty-five, I wonder if that is still appropriate. We were discussing age; she was amazed that her uncle is Sixty-two years old. She stated now she knows how I feel when…

I am very grateful for all of my partnerships; work, officiating, boating and living life. I am grateful to be able to enjoy my time with a partner who makes me a better person and whom I am able to laugh with. We enjoy music, food, the ocean and exploring new places and things. Live…

This past weekend my partner and I participated in the Newport Beach to Ensenada sailboat race; the N2E. It is an international yacht race. We were a part of a crew of five people and only the Captain/Owner and I had any real experience on the sailboat. It was the same vessel that we had…

Let it fall!  I have a roof over my head, so I am protected. I am so very grateful for my health, food that I have to eat and the roof over my head! I am very grateful that in my newest domain my partner is sharing my first week, there, with me.

“Tommy can you hear me? Can you feel me near you? Tommy can you see me? Can I help to cure you?” My brother and I were talking this evening and I thought that it would be a great idea for a cellphone carrier to do a mash-up of all the songs that had some…

I am grateful for the insightfulness that I get to see in myself.  I think that I can make it by coasting down a small hill and I realize that nope, I am going to have to step on the gas a little and man-up.  I am grateful for this knowledge; reflective abilities and Learning…

There is so much to be grateful for. Meeting new friends and family; helping others with situations. Being alive is a good reason to be grateful.

This evening I was able to spend a little time talking with my brother in-law. He has been my spiritual mentor for the past ten or more years. He has helped me increase my faith in God. Tonight it was more about me helping him. I was able to tell him that he does make…
