I am grateful to be an active part of the TUHSD Racial Justice Task Force… Because there is work to do. And it is an honor to do it. 

D.I.Y.

Saved my self a few bob, I did. A couple o’ quid left in me pocket. Got an appraisal a week or so back. 500 plus they wanted. And, being them a body shop — it was a fair price. But… 500 bens for a bent-up truck’s fender? It’s just the bloody holes of the…

just enough to finish

I am grateful that I had enough left in the tank to brush & floss before going to sleep…

Making Decisions

Tonight, I am grateful that I am free… Free to make my own decisions. And may I be brave and wise enough to live by the consequences of those decisions I make. ‘Cause I am bound to make mistakes.

simple are the ways

I am grateful for the warm autumn night tonight that I walked in with Marlin, I am grateful for the work out I had after two weeks not working out, I’m grateful for the work I got in for my directing class… grateful for doing this post on an iPad instead of sitting at the…

By The Pricking of My Thumb

I am grateful for the opportunity I current to have to direct some scenes. It is through a class, so, perhaps small in stature for a bucket-list item. However, the sense of responsibility, nerves, and giddy excitement is quite real. And I am grateful for the opportunity to start this experience within a context that…

A Cup A Empathy – and 2 T-Spoons Sugar

I am grateful for some solid footing today; made a little progress. You can ask my brother if you want details — all I’m going to share is sometimes the healing continues on long after the surgery. (smile) And ya know what? I’m happy right now… It’s been a good day; time to walk the…
