Book of Life

Today I am very grateful to be starting a new chapter in my life, accompanied by the beautiful lady that I love! I am very grateful that we have made the first leg of our new journey together safe and sound. Now it has been a long day of driving and running around…so I am…

A Worthy Robe

Tonight I am very grateful for my robe I wear; created from the love of two friends… one providing the material, and providing the mastery to create the piece; grand it be! And our heat went out last night – repair person coming tomorrow. It’s about 55 degrees in the house… And I am VERY…

Thanks Giving

Yes I intentionally broke the words into two separate words. Today, in the United States of America, we are celebrating the Thanksgiving Holiday. I actually celebrate this holiday every day of the year and write about my thanks on this post twice a week. There is so much to be grateful and thankful for every…

Familia

I’m kind of honored to be posting tonight; the night before Thanksgiving… I am grateful to be spending Thanksgiving with my family.

Opportunities and Challenges

This is what I am grateful for. The opportunities are gifts from heaven. The Challenges are learning lessons from heaven; sometimes I fail and have to take the class over. Both opportunities and challenges are ways for me to increase my knowledge and to improve my life. I am very grateful for every day that…

Falling backwards, upside down

I’ve gained some weight; unnecessary weight. I’ve been lacking energy of late, not all the time, sporadically… light-headed; feeling dizzy like I’m going to pass out. I’ve been lackadaisical in my eating habits and exercise. AND – I’ve remained entrenched in the daily process of living. Examining, communicating, learning… Today feels like coming back to…

It’s a sunny day

I have been taking a class at Orange Coast Community College this semester. The class is Boat handling an Seamanship; focused on learning safety protocols on boats and yachts. It also teaches basic navigation, how to handle a power boat, one with a single engine as well as one with two engines, (or twin screws)….

Some Daze…

Monday and Tuesday were good work days for me; I got a lot accomplished. Today? Today was a technically challenging day. Not so much done… I did spend a lot of time running drive diagnostics, malware scans, reinstall programs… more drive diagnostics… and more reinstalls. Luckily, about 1/2 way through the day, I realized what…

Snow Storm

Have you ever had to walk, cross-country ski or physically exert yourself in a snow storm? If it is a blizzard, it is not an easy task. I ask this because when I think of some tasks in life, performing them is like walking up a hill, against the wind, in a blizzard snow storm….

No Distance

Tonight concludes a good day; one – if I be wise – to be built off of… And I am reminded this evening of my father; the relationship I had – and continue to have – with him. Like no one else in my life; he taught me the efforts of being human and continually…

Learning new things

Today I spent most of my day aboard a yacht in Newport Beach California and then at a lecture being held at a local Yacht Club in Long Beach California. Both of these events is furthering my education in nautical living. On the yacht I was learning about tending dock lines, using a windlass as…

This side of…

so much to be grateful today… an episode of LWG, season finale, is with a close life friend, Bob Wertzberger – who has been chin-deep in healing from a serious case of cancer. …and today is veterans day, which is always going to bring my nephew and his immediate family close to my heart –…
