I frequently like to think about where I am in my life and the things I’ve done – and the things I would still like to accomplish in whatever time I have left here on this old planet. A few mornings ago (I like to do this kind of thing in the morning...
We humans are so silly – and on top of that we’re fun to watch! Here’s one thing that immediately comes to mind. For some strange reason, when we’re running behind schedule we have a tendency to try to “make up time” by moving faster – or ...
It wasn’t a very big bush yet – only about a foot or so tall. It did have the promise of developing into something quite a bit larger. Now, I’m not too sure. We’ll just have to see. With a stubby two inch high, frayed trunk sticking up rather ...
Time. I’m talking about Time! Where’d it go? Not just yesterday, or the week before, but last year – and the one before that – and the one before that… Wow! It seems like not all that long ago I was running through the alfalfa field on ou...
As I peruse various articles from the “self-help experts”, I am amazed at how often I run into the admonition to stop wasting time. Create a daily “To Do” list, prioritize, and do, do, do. Get stuff done. Don’t get sidetracked. Remember your...
That would be me! From what I can see, I’m just beginning the second year of a minimum four year sentence as a Village Idiot. I say minimum because the sentence may be extended at any time and without advance notice – written or verbal. Actually,...
There are probably at least 17 gazillion reasons why folks get into arguments. Unfortunately none of them are very valid. Here’s what I mean. Let’s take a look at the base word first. My super-duper dictionary defines “argue” as: “To p...
Yep – a headache! Really. Not a great big skull-splitting headache. Just one of those little low-pressure guys. And I know why. It’s because I’ve been thinking too much. I really need to try to cut back on that. Actually, my headache is not...
If you sometimes feel as though you’re caught in life’s quicksand, you have a lot of company. We work, we struggle, we try to do everything we possibly can to move on to a higher level of well-being but it seems like the harder we work, the more stuc...
We hear a lot about the steps we should take to achieve our goals, however unless we take the first steps to realistically consider who and what we are right now our capabilities and interests and think logically about what we'd like to accomplish, ou...
For those of you who have been living in a cave for most of your lives, you can translate the "torqued" in the title of this article to "mad" or "angry". For today's discussion of anger, let's quantify the intensity of our focus with the words "downright...
I still can't understand it. After all these years, I can't make a lick of sense out of what folks consider to be in or out of fashion appropriate or inappropriate attire or appearance. What was "in" last year, might be "out" this year or it might b...
1. Trust no one. Not your superiors and not your employees. Especially not your employees. They're probably out to get you anyway. 2. Believe that all of your people are lazy, good-for-nothing slackers. Remind them of that frequently. 3. Get mad...
Ask any of my kids and they'll tell you immediately that you'll find it in the dictionary between "sh" and "syphilis". Wasn't that absolutely cruel and unkind of me to instill in them a nearly total distain for the concept of "sympathy"? With so many i...
1. Learn About You If you don't know who you are and why you think and act the way you do, it's gonna be really difficult to make any positive changes in your life. Take a look first at your parents and close family members. Think about how they look...
