2023-05-18 Organize to Prioritize
I started this post just now because I have a lot of thoughts. Lots of disorganized-all-over-the-map thoughts. Maybe I’m hoping getting it all down will help to sort through it and pick out my priorities. I move my daughter home from UNL yesterday and she’s officially a senior in college. Super hard to believe, but…

2023-05-15 The Mystery of Finding Treasure
We’re halfway through the month of May and for some measure of money and faith, I can offer an update that I’m still on the right track. Saying “no” agrees with me and I’m getting better at it.

Sometimes you stumble upon a show that just gets you. That hits every note and at the same time, miraculously also helps you discover something new about yourself. Yup.

I’m just saying “no.” I don’t have any more professional public appearances on the books and have completely let go of *most* of my monthly resolutions—No dietary modifications, writing objectives, reading quotas, exercise directives,…

2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever
Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy! ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…

Oops.. I did it again. What? I wrote a post that I never posted. /shrug Made a goal and then didn’t achieve it. /yup Developed a good, healthy new habit and then lost it. #truth (followed by gaining back the pounds I lost in January and February.. ugh!) So what’s the point anyway? To eat…
