This past weekend was a three day weekend. In the United States we celebrate “President’s Day”. When I was a child going to school we had two separate days off in February; one for President Washington’s birthday and one for President Lincoln’s birthday. Now they just combine the two into one because there are so…

I am grateful that I do not mind driving…too much. I probably mind the knuckleheads who are on the road with me more than I mind the miles and time spent driving. I am grateful that I don’t mind driving because I will drive the distance, occasionally, to spend time with a person that I…

This past Saturday I helped a neighbor celebrate his Seventieth birthday. We sat on his boat, talking and drinking a really good Irish whiskey. This was after spending a lazy Saturday afternoon with my wonderful partner. I am grateful for this wonderful life and beautiful opportunities.

Being a former soccer player, coach and now I officiate, I know what “Team Effort” means.   As great as Pele, Messi and Ronaldo are or were, they never single-handily won a game or tournament; they had ten other players, coaches and support personnel helping them. I feel very grateful that I have a wonderful team…

Today I am grateful for all of the people who help me in this life. Some of these people barely know me if they know me at all; but they are told by someone or some divine power that they should help me. Then there is my family and friends who I know that offer…

That is what I am grateful for.

What an incredible month this has been! I have learned quite a bit of stuff; especially about myself. I am so blessed with all that I have been given. It could all go away tomorrow and I would wake up and find a way to have a positive day. I would begin the work to…

Tomorrow I will complete my first month at my new job. Today I received a nice email from one of the people that works in our financial office, helping with HR. She informed me that in the short time that I have been there she has enjoyed working with me and that others have told…

It has been a long day and I am very tired. I am grateful for people like Henny Youngman and one-liners.

I feel the power of God all around me.  Lately it seems that every door or gate that I have walked through, God is holding it open for me. I do not subscribe to any, one religion; but I do believe in One, Powerful, Loving God.  You may call God whatever you want.   I believe…

Today was a busy day! So was Tuesday; and I think tomorrow will be as well. I am grateful for all of the learning opportunities and the realization that I know more than I think I do. God has placed us where we need to be. This is something that I read recently and it…

If you have ever met either one of my sisters you would know that they are both forces of great deeds. They have different ways of doing things, but I know that both of them kick ass and take names doing so. I am grateful for the council, love and support that I receive from…
