Generally, I am a creature of habit. I wake up and go to sleep at about the same time every day. Occasionally, that rule will bend this way and that. What helps is that I am retired and am not required to be somewhere at a specific time every day. …

And You Thought That Was Just in the Movies — Love doesn’t always start with fireworks. Those can happen along the way, of course, but I believe fireworks at the beginning of a relationship might sometimes be rarer than they let on in the stories. What I think is perhaps there might instead be a spark. It is small. It…

I Keep Practicing — [Before you start reading this, the bold and italics parts below are from my guide Seth where I am channeling in the article.] I strive for clarity of thought. I’m not sure how to get there, but I trust the efforts I take will eventually work or, at least help…

Rewriting, Editing, Proofing — I wrote a book during NaNoWriMo. It ended up 52,746 words which won the competition of 50,000 words at the end of November 2023. That was my impetus. That got me off of my butt and doing something bigger than what I normally do which are the articles I write…

I plan to keep writing on it until I get up around that number and then begin the editing, re-writing, polishing…

Here’s Where Your Energy Goes — I was just watching one of my favorite YouTubers. Trent and Allie in the mountains of Utah about three years ago started building their house. They have learned a lot about construction through the years and now have a one-bedroom beautiful house. Except, they had a baby, and someday, they…

And Young Sheldon — I spent the afternoon, and it looks like the early evening today watching Young Sheldon. There are five seasons, and it is on Netflix. I was a great fan of the Big Bang Theory, and when Young Sheldon started being aired, I was right there to watch it. This all…
