It’s really fun to keep on trying to find my way! This amazing gift of life feels more precious than ever now. No doubt it always has been, so what’s the difference?
My need to surrender grandiose illusions of control is spotlighted regularly. So is my wish to passionately live the fullest life I can muster. For now, I reconcile the two by searching my soul for ways to live well, then practicing release of the pull to control results.
I’m striving to serve co-workers, balancing priorities and accepting that the bureaucracy will often go against my wishes. C’est la vie!
I’m engaging in regular exercise, signing up for competitions and listening carefully to my body. It will tell me what it can do. It tells me when to mix it up, take a break or hit the gas!
I read blogs and books to expand my thinking. I don’t know how enlightened I’ll become. It’s a fun journey!
I like waking up from a recent recurring dream: I’m throwing a long pass in a football game. Did I throw well? Will it be caught? Does it really matter? I’m throwing deep! Yay!!!

…or it’s a good marketing strategy. Did you get more hits?

I don’t know; I don’t get many hits anyway. Hey! Now you sound like a Cheech and Chong or Harold and Kumar movie!

We’ll get rich and I can quit my job! Then travel the world checking off bucket lists and searching for drug laden sex rings, for more material…..

Or find the drug laden sex rings, write about that and get rich from there. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

You are living, and that is so much more than being alive. Bravo my friend!
