It’s hard to keep your head above water sometimes. I feel like I’m drowning from time to time. But wisdom has taught me survival techniques. Making use of one of them right now. Music is changing my spirit as I type. Listening to an old tune from the Doobie Brothers “Dangerous” and its an upbeat one that reminds me of motorcycle riding days. Followed that with “The Doctor” which is another upbeat song to smile to.

I don’t have much energy left in the day. The granddaughter can burn through my reserves without missing a beat. But she is back with her mother tonight and my body is sending me urgent messages to get horizontal soon.

But my mind feels like there is unfinished business and ideas to work on. I did some shooting this afternoon I should download and edit, I haven’t worked on my books yet today. I owe a couple people emails.

Well let me flip a coin and see if we work or rest. There is it, we WORK. Gentlemen, start your engines.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • When you are inspired, accomplishments are the byproduct.
  • RUSH is a Rush.
  • I have some leftover business cards from the job that once paid the bills. I think I’ll make personal ones on the other side to hand out when needed. Little pieces of artwork.
  • When I stop learning, someone unplug me.
  • I have no idea why clutter seems to multiply around me but it does.

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.
