My Family

For they have seen me at my worst. They’ve seen me when it really hurts. They know my weakness, seen me on my knees. Been with me when I didn’t say “please”. And they still love me; support me… hope for me the best. I love them dearly. I’m grateful for them.

I believe

This is probably becoming a little boring and redundant for you to read, but I really am very grateful with where I am in my life! I am grateful for my health. I really have not given too much thought about COVID-19, other than I need to wear a mask now when I am in…

A lot of leeway

I am grateful that my daughter and I were able to have a dentist appointment. We were quite late. My fault. Seems traffic can back-up and a twenty minute drive becomes 35 minutes. So maybe getting that cup a joe and cookie before heading out of town wasn’t the brightest idea. But we got an…

The beginning

Every day is a new beginning. I am grateful for every day that the creator gives to me. I am grateful for the new opportunities that appear for me to follow. I am grateful for the new friends that I continue to meet. I am grateful for my health, my shelter and the food that…

Two

I am grateful for the two podcasts I am a part of… Moped Outlaws and Live With Greg. Today, if you believe in this sort of thing, an auspicious event occurred. Episode 17 of MO and episode 71 of LWG both hit today… So, yeah.. I got that going for me.

Waiting….

We have become a society of instant gratification. We want it now! Maybe not all of us, but it seems there is a strong majority that feels this way. I am grateful for lessons learned and two of them are, hard work usually pays off and be patient. So I will continue to work hard…

Humility

All that teaches me to be humbleAll that shows me not to be forlornFor all who support the path I’m onFor all reasons I am born I am grateful in learning humility

Ship Tight

This past week I had the pleasure of captaining my friends boat, Sur la Mer, over to Catalina island; where we spent the night. The next morning we moved into a position off of West Point on the island to act as an observation and support vessel for the Ocean Cup Race, a high speed…

Wondering Mind

What am I grateful for? A lot! Really. I am grateful for the opportunities for growth that continually appear in my life. I am grateful for my children and my ex-wife. I’m grateful for the utensil; knife. I’m grateful for my freedom from strife. What am I grateful for? For where I live. For the…

Maiden Voyage

Today my partner, Grace, contracted myself and another gentleman to captain her boat to Catalina Harbor on the West side of Catalina. It is the maiden voyage for her boat; she invited friends to join her and we were expected to perform. I am happy to say that the boat did exactly what she was…

Small Package; Big Love

I am grateful for the trust my friends have in me… So that I am invited to baby-sit their 6 month old while they go out. I had a wonderful evening of puppy kisses and puppy love. Warms the heart. Brings a smile to my face. And i get to do it again tomorrow!!

I am grateful, really I am.

Today I am grateful for all of the lessons of patience, love and hope that I am continuing to learn. I have had some interesting conversations regarding religion and some politics, lately. One thing that we can all agree on is that loving your neighbor and forgiving yourself should be at the top of all…
