Advantage

Leave a comment

Taking advantage of each day is my goal. That doesn’t mean taking advantage of others at all. Sacrificing is sometimes part of taking advantage of an opportunity to help someone else. Therefore, the opportunity for a rewarding feeling.

Yesterday we were helping our son and his family. And helping family is always rewarding.

Falling asleep early on Wednesday evening wasn’t the plan but taking advantage of the early Thursday morning is working out well. It’s been a good writing morning, and I’ve fired up the printer and went through a pack of 8×10 photo paper.

And then I got tired again around 7am, so I went back to bed for 4 more hours. Wow, a total of 7 hours sleep. I’m improving, even if I have to do it in shifts.

The sun did break through at the shore for a short time this morning but it’s going away for a bit here in Maryland. A good time to work on the inside of the home as I feel it starting to drizzle outside. I can clean up this basement while knocking out some effort on hobbies.

Back to making some prints, I’m on a roll with that.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I’m really going to miss The Late Show.
  • Water, always the world’s greatest commodity.
  • The Knicks look like a team of destiny.
  • Being there is one of the most important things for another person.
  • I’ve been to Vegas once 40 years ago and have no desire to go back.
  • How can I make the best of today.

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.
