Always End the Day with a Positive Thought End the day with a positive thought, what an interesting, inspirational message? When I first saw this quote the other day, I had to stop and think about it. The first question I asked myself was, why? In thinking about the deeper meaning of the inspirational message,…
Good Morning Woke up this morning to a beautiful day. Stepping outside to get the paper, I was astonished on how blue the sky was, how warm the sun felt, warm that is without being oppressive. The atmosphere didn’t feel like it was going to crush me. Believe me, this has been the hottest summer on record…
This week, Hillary Rodham Clinton crashed through the glass ceiling to become the first ever female candidate from a major political party in the United States of America. I am very proud to be a citizen of the U.S.A. It was a long time coming, 240 years after the Declaration of Independence was conceived and…
My girlfriend and I had chinese food for dinner the other night. I’d like to share with you what my fortune cookie had hidden inside. “Good books are friends who are always ready to talk to us.” For the readers out there, I think you will agree. Good or bad, they talk to us, reach into…

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. Nearly over? Not quite. Sure enough, Murphy’s Law kicked in. Mid-afternoon yesterday, our household was kicked in the gut. The love of my life, my girlfriend and partner in the house we purchased together, lost her job. Granted, we knew it was a possibility. Under…
They say one’s home is their castle. I can’t help wonder about the truth in the statement. The home I used to live in, the one I recently sold and moved from, used to be my castle. I loved my home. I did not envision leaving it any time soon. In fact, I was sure…
