Daily Prompt 5/2/23
It was Aladdin back in March, if we are talking about the theatre. If we are talking concerts, that would be the lineup of Joan Jett, Poison, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue last July. If it’s instrumental music, that would be the All-City concert that Boy #3 was in awhile back. I like live everything…

Taking ownership
I’ve had a couple of life-changing things happen in the last week or so, mostly revelations in my own mind and results from deep meditation. I feel like I’ve turned some corner on everything. It’s showing up in weird, unpredictable ways, but mainly it’s the peace I feel inside me now. I do editing work…

Daily Prompt 5/1/23
This is an interesting question. There’s a lot of jobs I’d love to try for just one day, but the one I would choose for the purposes of this question is engineer. I just want to see if it would be a good fit for me. It was never something I considered that I would…

Boy #1
Things are starting to fall into place for him. He found out today that he has been accepted into a pre-mortuary sciences program about three or so hours from where we live. What a huge relief. Not that I didn’t believe in him and not that I didn’t think he could do it. But it…

People I admire and look to for advice…this is a moving target for me because my life is such a strange collection of completely different things, the list grows and shrinks as time goes on. But no matter what, my number one is my wife. I admire her for a million and one different reasons…

Never ending levels of learning
It seems like every time I start to research something I already know a little bit about, I find out something else that I don’t think I ever knew and it blows my mind. Today’s example…My wife works at a museum in a state that is not part of the original 13 colonies. 250 year…

Absolutely, 100% yes I do. But it wasn’t always like that. I used to think that my vote didn’t matter. As a blue in a big blue state, or a lone blue in very red state or area, it just never seemed like it mattered. It was also really complicated because on some issues, I…

Daily Prompt 4/26/23
This question actually amuses me because I have spent a lot of my life aimlessly wandering, or just afloat, allowing the wind to blow me where I need to be. I used to feel like that made me a bad person, or lazy without any direction. But I am learning as I get older that…

“Life’s a journey, not a destination…” “Amazing” by Aerosmith I sometimes forget to remind myself of this. It’s something that has been with me since the first time I heard this song in the 90s. It’s true and very important for me to remember when I am getting all intense about something that really isn’t…

Boy #2
Boy #2 is about to be 17 on Thursday. This feels impossible because it’s gone by so fast. It’s also crazy to think that he’s THISCLOSE to being an adult. In some ways he’s ready for more responsibility and in other ways, he’s still very much a child. He’s changed a lot since Boy #1…
