The 40 Days of May

There is less than one month left before the class of 2026 graduates at our school. There is not one day from now until then that there is not an activity happening on campus; we are busy! I will remind my team, as they grumble, that it is job security for us all. I am…

Between the Lines

I am grateful for the opportunity I had to connect with some important people in my life today… And what is the best way I know of to connect? At least in the top three ways… Truly helping someone out. I say “truly” because it is quite human to believe one is helping when one…

Rock n Roll

Push past your own mental illness, precrastination. Put on some rock and roll, groove and be productive. This week the music has really helped me to get things done. Pushing myself in exercise and work. The beginning of the week it was some funky jazz, yesterday it was new wave from the 1980’s and today,…

Super. Natural.

I am grateful for the JOYFUL song of support. I am grateful for my Brothers & Sisters. I am grateful for the rise and fall; the LIGHT of it all. The shadow and GRACE; the pace of the HuMAN race. The reading between the lines… and the dawn.

Purple Prose

It was ten years ago today that the Master Musician passed away. It does not seem that long ago, and I enjoy his music as much today as I did back then. He has inspired and written for so many people and bands. He is a legend and the music world still misses him. I…

That Good Night

Some times it snows in April… Sometimes it is a bit of a charge to be in gratitude. My attitude swings low, and i find myself in streams of melancholy, a bit of a pity party, really… And all the tropes and memes for picking oneself up just don’t land. So tonight, I am grateful…

twirl in the doorway

I am grateful for the woman in red Willing to dance with me in the moonlight I am grateful for the brother Joining me weekly for untold adventures I am grateful for the aid I receive in my head And the fires that light the way AND—I am grateful for the month I have with…

Flying High

I am grateful for recognizing my weaknesses and not being afraid to work on improving them.

Backups

I am grateful for hosting backups… I accidently hit a reset button on a website; tooled the whole thing. It would have been 7734 to rebuild the whole thing. BUT, thanks to backups, it is almost back to perfect with very little manual adjustments needed. So, yeah, thank G*D for backups. And thank GOD for…

Good Times are had

Once again this past weekend was a phenominal one. It began on Thursday with the celebration of life for one of the most loving ladies that I have ever known. She was a true teacher, who walked the walk of love, and followed the path of Jesus Christ. It was a small intimate group, mostly…

for the little boy who couldn’t find the conqueror in himself

I was going to write about how grateful I was that I don’t owe my brother a fiver. And, believe me, I am grateful for that. But I just finished watching the entire Netflix series, Adolescence, with my son and CP. Second time seeing it for me. It captures something quite pure, quiet… and broken….

April Fools

I am grateful today that Habibi & Charlie were pulling an April Fool’s prank… It was a good one.
