New Knowledge

If you have been paying attention to any of the posts that have been placed on this blog, you will know that I have been taking classes at Orange Coast College getting an Associates of Science degree in Professional Mariner Activities.  This is something that I have really enjoyed.  I love the ocean, always have…

Comes A Rain

I am grateful for barefeet For the writing on the walls For a hard rain… I guess I am grateful for a full belly. For the consistent reminders that INFINITY is real.

New Waves

I remember as a child watching Star Trek with my brother and cousin, thinking man that would be so cool.  Well aside from the teleporter, we pretty much are living in a Star Trek world.  Your watch can tell you how healthy you are or are not.  We have lasers that shoot from different forms…

Patience… yeah, yeah…

I am very grateful for the patience of the people I am doing work for… I am getting better; and I have a ways to go – I think. I’m also grateful for the book “Mindset”. It is supporting me to change and lean in to growing up instead of shying away like a little…

Follow up

Just following up on my last post, Gentle Reminders, I realize that there are times when I become a little depressed.  There are times that it seems like I am riding in the cattle-car of the train, and it really is not the comfortable.  The reality is, I am warm surrounded by cows, the train is moving…

Gentle Reminders

This evening as I was getting ready for bed I had the movie Invictus on in the background.  Whatever difficulties I may have they are nothing compared to what other great people have overcome. So I am grateful for these gentle reminders.  Keep moving forward. Run, walk or crawl, keep moving forward.  

Variety

我感谢不同的人,不同的文化,不同的观察方式,……我很感激高潮和低谷。 对于电梯和打击。 我感谢生命的无限香料。 我感谢品种。

Things get done

After banging a brick wall with a hammer, trying to break through and see some light, years of banging, I am finally able to see a crack of light. Today I am in beautiful British Columbia, it says so right on their license plate, working with a company, implementing a new warehouse management system for…

Diplomacy

Life is a little full these days… a little hectic. And I’m not alone in the arena. So, tonight, two of us overwhelmed humans clashed. I was one of them. I am grateful for calmer minds that were able to intervene and keep things rolling. The work got done. Diplomacy.

Airline Food

Yesterday I flew from Southern California to Vancouver, British Columbia.  It was a busy morning, I had some errands that I had to do before 10:00, so I really did not eat any breakfast.  I had two cups of coffee and some chips that were leftover from a Poke salad.  I had a little time…

They’rrrrrrrrrreeee Great!

Strange as it may seem, I am grateful for being able to walk down the street with Marlin and purchase a box of Frosted Flakes. You see, I’ve been craving Frosted Flakes for about four days straight now… It might not be a wise choice. It might not be sane. But tonight, before I go…
