Years Go By

I am grateful for a wonderful hang with a friend this afternoon. I am grateful that I work for friends; with friends. I am grateful that I’m not dead. I am older; gratefully so.

Team Work

I am so very grateful for the team of people that I work with at my current job. Not just the people that work in my department but everyone that I work with at the school. The help that I receive, the lessons and the encouragement, I am grateful for all of it. I am…

Reflection

My brother and I were reflecting that it has been almost fifteen years that we have been writing on this blog page, professing what we are grateful for. I am grateful that I have a place to share my blessings. I am grateful that my brother and I have continued our education of life and…

A Little Somethin’ Light

I am grateful for this little light of mine… And yours And for the time I spent this afternoon in the company of a very warm heart And for making it back home To the cool fog It’s a good life; what a wonderful world.

Strength

My grandmother used to tell me that her faith was her strength. She was a strong, loving lady. Having grown up in two of the three largest religions I do not care for the pomp and circumstance of an organized religion. I have always felt that if I wanted to get close to god I…

Long Monday Veil

Red roses garden Bright blossoms bloom Dead are the witches Stewing doom and gloom Hanging from ceilings Swinging bar doors Mopping up mopers From whiskey stained floors Stick and stain Single malt grain You’ll never have hooks In me again (and for that—I’m grateful)

Got Something Done

I enjoy helping with Mill Valley’s Curtain Theatre. We are gearing up to present the 24th summer production of a most beloved comedy by William Shakespeare; A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And due to the chaos in my mind, body, and soul—I was quite behind in my duties. I am grateful that I got quite a…

Posted

Last night, fairly late in the evening, I looked at this website and saw that my brother had not posted a blog for the week. He had until Midnight so there was a good chance that he was not going to post a blog. This would have meant a free coffee for me. Well, this…

A new home

I believe that I have stated recently that I brought a boat down from Long Beach to San Diego. Two weeks into the new marina and I am very happy with the new home for the old gal. I washed her on Sunday July 7th and went back to her on July 13th and she…
