Favorite Days
Once in a while I see a post about how the memories of your childhood aren:t ever the ones from sitting in front of a TV. That is simply not correct in my case. I remember staying up late to watch SCTV and laughing like crazy at John Candy. I also remember the Dungeons &…

Wrapped Carnations
My wife knows I love carnations. She bought me this bouquet last week. She warned me that if I didn’t take them out of the wrapping and put them into water that they wouldn’t last long. I left them in the wrapping and hung the whole arrangement on the wall of the den. She was…

Early Sunday
It’s too early to be awake and I’ve already been up for two hours. I’m still planning on going to church today, but it seems like such a long way off at this point. The house is quiet and my thoughts are spinning. They aren’t wildly out of control at the moment. They’re just at…

Quiet and Gratitude
Today has been pretty quiet so far. I was able to sleep in which I’m almost always grateful for. We got money for groceries and rent today. I remain grateful for the blessing of a full refrigerator and bills that are payed on time. Love and health inspire gratitude. But I think I’ve said it…

Consistency
I have blogged at least once a day everyday for just slightly over three months. This is to date the most successfully I’ve journaled (if you can call it that) in my lifetime. I think the key to my consistency lies in the fact that this journal is to some small degree performance art. Not…
