Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2017-11-25 Grateful for the Not So Great

    This past week was supposed to be all about being grateful, which I am. It was supposed to be about giving thanks and acknowledging those people and things in our lives we are fortunate enough to have. I feel like I do that all the time, in a way, so this week was nothing special.…

  • 2017-11-23 An Easy Day Of Thanks

    After yesterday I was thankful I woke up without a headache. After yesterday I was thankful all I had to do today was bake a pie and show up at my sisters house at a certain time. After yesterday I was thankful and grateful and happy to be hanging out on a beautiful day with…

  • 2017-11-22 Flipping the Script

    Wow.. I haven’t written anything for a couple of days. I’ve also not exercised in a couple of days nor have I gotten my steps in. You could say I’ve pretty much deviated away from my normal script with regards to just about everything. I’m not sure why that is. I sort of decided on…

  • 2017-11-19 The 11:30 Quick and Dirty

    It’s getting close to that midnight hour and I haven’t blogged yet today. I’ve had quite the full day.. Jazzercise, Gym, Cooking, Christmas Decorating with the kids (yeah, that happened), and then a visit to Simon’s. I’ve just plum run out of time. So this one will have to be quick. No doubt the perfect…

  • 2017-11-18 Twenty Five Years Ago

    I have this app on my phone that sends push notifications so I can be alerted when any of my fans are coming to town. It’s called “Bandsintown”. I gave it permission to scan through my the music library on my phone and then it sort of does the rest as far as alerting me…

  • 2017-11-18 The Trick is in Knowing What You Want

    It’s the start of the day. I just woke up at 9AM and that feels pretty good. I almost hit 8 hours of sleep and that feels pretty good too. My kids are still sleeping and the house is very quiet. What I have before me is an entire Saturday with no plans or obligations.…

  • 2017-11-16 The Measuring Stick

    Spoiler alert. This one is long, has backstory, AND poetry. It’s clear that I’m in a much better place today than I was this time last year. I don’t really need a reminder, but sometimes it’s good to have a measuring stick. Some way to know just how far I’ve come. The value in me…

  • 2017-11-15 I’m Ready.. Let’s Go!

    Yesterday I woke up uninspired and unmotivated and today I woke up energized and ready to take on the world. I could spend a while pontificating on why that is but I might not get very far. I had relatively the same amount of sleep. I Went to bed at the roughly the same time.…

  • 2017-11-15 Random Wednesday Un-spiration

    I’m not so inspired today. In fact, I am quite un-inspired. I didn’t make it to the gym after dropping the kids off at school and ended up doing a lot of random things around my house. Then I went and had coffee with Josh. Then I came home and did more random things, outside.…

  • 2017-11-14 A Web of Possibilities

    Welcome to some random Tuesday. As usual, I have a whole list of regular activities planned for myself and I’m gonna try really hard to include working on my resume. Last night I started looking at a new job listing site called “Glassdoor”. I think I came across it because I googled for jobs in…

  • 2017-11-13 The Truth About the Truth

    Today’s life lesson.. A person can be really confident they know a thing to be true and they can still be wrong. Fortunately I was wrong in a good way. When I was in Hawaii I started to get a tooth ache. That’s something I’ve never really experienced and I sort of dismissed it. Then…
