So many
Once again, I will state, there are so many things to be grateful for. If you are prepared to do the work you can do anything that you want. There are so many resources available. I am grateful for all these resources, this knowledge and the drive to change my life and the lives of…
Early to Bed. Early to Rise?
We’ll find out… I am grateful for an early to bed tonight.
Celebrate
This past Sunday we, my family, celebrated my mother and her love for this world. It was a wonderful three-part celebration. We started at Crystal Cove State Beach, moved to a church in Laguna Beach and finished off at the home of my younger sister in SJC. We, the family were joined by friends and…
It’s a wonderful life
The other day a very good friend marveled at how I have “reinvented” my life. He is correct; two years ago I would never have thought that I would be working on a charter boat or captaining a boat. I have always know that I would eventually move to a living unit by the ocean;…
A Gift
I am very grateful for a gift I received in the mail. The miracle of the gift is on point. It has allowed me some breathing room. I find it is my challenge to not waste the gift; to rise up to the miracle given. Thank you, my friend.
It’s a mariner thing
This past week has been busy! Busy working a charter early Tuesday morning, busy with my homework for the classes that I am enrolled in as I work to obtain my AS in Marine Activities and busy working on my partners boat. All of this is so that I am more than comfortable taking some…
All Shadows
I was going to write that all shadows disappear in the light. However, light creates shadows. Perhaps shadow is that grey area of Life – where light is blocked and shadows cast. Which has nothing to do with what I am grateful for tonight… I am grateful for all that are doing the work to…
Rock and Roll
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a Rammestein concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum; it was their last concert in the United States for their current stadium tour. Joining me at the concert was my oldest child and my older brother. They flew down from Northern California to attend. We had…
Four Days of Bliss
I am very grateful for the wonderful time I had in Los Angeles this weekend – this long weekend. I arrived in LAX Thursday night and was picked up and whisked through the coastal neighborhoods to Santa Monica… Where I rested and resided until Saturday afternoon. Wonderful food; beautiful company… really a wonderful time. And…
Grateful for Autumn
What word upon days Rests lightly as a nest Abandoned by summer youth Flying towards their sky; their story It is the last hours of sun’s reign And weathered boats tether up For winter storms Fuel stored For warming the hearths Of hibernating souls It is in these months Of blood-red leaves The opportunity for…
Wings of an Angel
This past Friday morning I received a call from my younger sister, very early morning, letting me know that our mother had joined our father and other family members up in heaven. I am so grateful that my mother, a force her whole life, is no longer suffering; sitting in a wheelchair, having to be…
