Willing it

Leave a comment

Today is going to be a good day. I am willing it to be one. Regardless of the oppressive heat or our evening thunderstorms. Progress is being made and initiative is back. And speaking of back, my better half has returned from a short trip.

So all is right with the world. Well not really, but I’ll live in my own little space today and try not to get involved in the discourse that has arisen. Plus it’s summer and all I can think of is getting back to the beach soon. Either that or playing with my grandchildren.


Do you spend your time looking for a parking space instead of laying on the beach? Go in September or October. The water is still warm in September and the temps both months are great.

And once you find a space there is a line to get to the sand.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I feel so excited when my creative juices return.
  • When you have friends that you really look forward to spending time with, you have chosen the right friends.
  • Some think the last decade or so has been a real roller coaster. Buckle up the ride has yet to start.
  • I’m much better at sorting out what to keep and what to throw away when I’m in better spirits.

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.
