My better half noticed my arms got too much sun the last few days. I didn’t see it till she pointed it out. I’ll have to get the sunscreen out already. I usually don’t burn much, if at all, and brown up nicely.

We have some overcast and rain the next few days so I won’t be able to overdue the sun. The bad weather reminds me as the song by Van Halen says, to (Finish What Ya Started). And if there is anyone who needs to finish things I’ve started it’s me.

So I’ve fired up the printer and if that thing isn’t smoking by the end of the day I haven’t done my job. A couple of photo projects need completing and I just started a series on the flood photos I have of Ellicott City.

There are days I feel like a blooming idiot. Today isn’t one of them but I’m sure that’s, just my opinion. The trick is not to compare yourself to anything, but what you want to be. Certainly not to other’s titles, wealth, homes, cars, boats, clothes, or jewelry. Or their skills, intellect, or persona. Just be you.

To be healthy and happy with yourself. To keep finding those positive emotions, feelings, pride, inspiration, and contentment. Things I should have been doing long ago instead of many other emotions like anger or feeling inferior or frustrated.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• There is a fine line somewhere and I must keep stepping over it.
• The music of Lynyrd Skynyrd speaks to me.
• A good morning, I needed some alone time.
• The ultimate dilemma for me, I’d love to lower my car just a bit to improve its stance, but I’m older and it’s already a low-sitting car. A stock Miata MX5. I’ll talk myself into the coilovers because it will improve handling, but I’ll do it for the look.
