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…

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

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…

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…

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)….

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…

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 –…

I know that my faith in the creator has helped me a lot. It seems lately that I have been asking a lot of the almighty. I ask that my family and friends are kept safe and healthy. I ask for guidance and to be a better person, to make this world a better place…

Tonight I feel a bit like I got kicked in the head. And my energy today has been very low. So….. what am I grateful for? The little moments of Joy I’ve experienced today. I had a great call with my coach, Marc Wendt. I enjoyed a great phone conversation with my brother, Aaron. I’ve…
