I saw this image online early last week. I've been waiting, impatiently, to share it today, a Monday. It reminds me that, for many reasons, we come to dread the first work day of the week. I know, I've been there. It kind of starts Sunday night, right? You start thinking about work or that… Continue reading Mondays Suck?

You Create Your Own Cool
I like to begin each day with a dose of positivity and motivation. It helps me stay on track toward achieving my goals, because achieving goals isn't always easy but getting discouraged can be. Today I found an article online that fits perfectly into what I call "Morning Motivation". 6-year old Danny Keefe has health… Continue reading You Create Your Own Cool
Being a Bystander Will Only Accomplish Watching Other People Achieve Their Goals
In 2008 I set out to write a book. I’d been living with the characters and portions of the story for some time. But for years I just didn’t have the discipline to sit down and write a novel. Thousands and thousands of words. The task seemed daunting. Of course, looking back I wish that… Continue reading Being a Bystander Will Only Accomplish Watching Other People Achieve Their Goals
Attitudes Are Contagious. Is Yours Worth Catching?
I’ve recently found myself speaking with people whose lives have been invaded by despair. Real despair. The kind that magnifies that feeling of emptiness in your stomach. The kind of despair that makes people feel like hope is lost, or at the very least that the end of the tunnel can’t yet be seen. It… Continue reading Attitudes Are Contagious. Is Yours Worth Catching?
Start Your Weekend with The Daily Good
Happy Friday! I'd thought I'd end this week on a positive note. I got a little irked this morning and had originally written a long rant about this and that. But then I decided that wasn't how I wanted to leave everyone for the weekend. Happy is better, right? I think so too, so instead… Continue reading Start Your Weekend with The Daily Good
How Soon Is Now?
Hey dad? Yes, son? Is what they say true? Who? Those that have come before me. The ones who’ve been devastated by pain and loss. Yes, they are true. “Savor each moment.” I thought so. But son? Yeah dad? That won’t stop people from ignoring the truth. And that’s the truth, too. The sad… Continue reading How Soon Is Now?

Keep Playing the Game | The Splendid Splinter
In 1953, Ted Williams had a batting average of .407 for the Boston Red Sox. In his career he hit for .400 in a season three times. He is the last person to have hit over .400 for a season, an amazing feat. But think about it. For that season, he FAILED about six out… Continue reading Keep Playing the Game | The Splendid Splinter
Anything Can Happen, Child…
My literary hero - Shel Silverstein. Thanks for the inspiration that anything is possible...
A Momentary Lapse of Reason
It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to write in this journal. Forgive me if I ramble a little, though if you’ve read anything I’ve ever written here you’ll know I’m likely to do just that. Ramble. But hey, it’s my party… So where was I? Oh yeah, it’s been a while. There are… Continue reading A Momentary Lapse of Reason
