Right now I’m in the midst of a discussion with a good friend about the power of positive thinking.  I’m naturally taking the negative position. In my personal experience, for me, negativity has gotten me a lot further in life–even … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Sitting here waiting.  For the dawn of what we’ve learned to call today, a step towards tomorrow.  For five more opportunities of yes or no that have the potential to open a gate–despite yesterday that brought one rejection.  Planning already … Continue reading → Continue reading →

The largest of the locals, a blue heron and the smallest, our hummingbird, at a point in my sight of morning where without the added third dimension, they are equal for once in size. While on the bottom of the … Continue reading → Continue reading →
