Do you remember the book called The Power of Habit? I read a bit of it then lost interest but as I remember it was encouraging and made the point that the path to bettering one’s self is simply a matter of creating better and better habits. Here’s the thing. I need to fit aContinue reading “Surfing U.S.A”

Life is funny because you never get everything you want all at the same time but if you keep on going and pay attention enough to notice what’s right in front of you, you’ll get everything you want in little bits and pieces: here and there, between the rocks and the hard places, in theContinue reading “Better Late Than Never”

I have not been blogging because I’ve been too busy doing. In order to write about things you have to stop what you’re doing and get it all down on virtual paper and it takes time and things have been good enough that I don’t want to interrupt the flow.

I hear words all over the place but it’s just blah blah yes-of-course-I-get-it until one day there’sContinue reading “So This Is Progress”

My house is on a hill and the front yard slopes down. Years ago when I bought the house the yard held a few plants but mostly it was covered in wood chips. Gardening on a steep hill feels dangerous.

I haven’t written in some time because I’ve been……blocked! I’ve been blocked, as in the dreaded (pirate)…..writer’s block.

I had a constant narrative in my head running laps, makingContinue reading “Blocked”
