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 –…

What you doin’ ?

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…

A Little Bit of Joy

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…

On Tuesday this past week the third of November the United States of America held it’s national, state and local elections. The national elections were of importance because this year the office of the President was being voted on. If you are not a resident of they United States you may think that there were…
