One of those days

Leave a comment

Sometimes you just make the best of what comes your way. Today was one of those. So I’ll withdraw into my own world for a while. I’m happy there. I don’t argue with myself. I’m a lot happier with myself than I used to be. And I know the way to get there if I don’t start that way. Learned that lesson long ago. So back on a positive track, I go.

I started off with some physical work which feels good when I can look around after finishing and see accomplishment. Today it was the yard that saw progress. And if I keep working hard the body will show results. So it’s off to some walking/jogging time on Sunday morning.


I see the pollen meter was only at medium today but I think I sneezed more than I have all year. I guess lots of things were sprouting up all over. Then again it was probably that dry dead grass I was clearing out. Who knows, I’m just glad allergies aren’t as bad as they used to be as a youth.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • A manual transmission rear-wheel drive and some tunes can turn a day around.
  • The secrets of life take a long time to find.
  • I want to be happy at the end of the day that I have utilized time well.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
