We think We do

I realized how nobody knows me recently. They know pieces or aspects of me. Some might think they know me well. I had a pet that knew me well because we used to have lots of talks. My better half probably knows most of me, but is still far from the whole person.

Which got me thinking about how well I know others. I decided I need to get better at this. So part of my 2025 goals were reading and learning so I got a book called “How to Know a Person” by David Brooks. I’ll begin reading this today and let you know what I think in a later post.


I get to see my son and grandson for a few hours this morning. Which reminds me I haven’t made prints from our family gathering. And looking at my paper supply, I had better make an order soon. All these logistical tasks really get in the way of creativity.


I’m looking for that peaceful easy feeling this morning. But it’s proving illusive. I’ll have to see how morning back pain and a 2-year-old mix. I’ll report back this afternoon.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Getting lost in a song, feels so good.
  • I know what day it is when I go to take my daily meds.
  • Doing is more therapeutic than planning.
  • Look for the opportunity in every moment. That doesn’t mean you can’t look for the opportunity to relax also.

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.
