I thought I’d switch gears here,
and talk about “relationships”.
So, this whole boy / girl / love thing -
let’s skip past the first part (meeting).
Let’s talk about the fall…
What I’ve observed is that the first months
of any relationship both parties are really
pouring on the charm & pulling out the stops
while at the same time throwing out little “tests”

For a moment
turn off the noise
and listen.
No music.
No video.
Simply be still

“I see great people,
only they don’t know they’re great…”
It took me a week to write this piece
because I don’t know how to convince
someone who doesn’t already know it.… —-> Continue…
My son and I were listening to a live

Here we are – facing a Happy New Year!
Now, I know a lot of people around the new year have
spent time making resolutions to finding solutions
to things that weren’t quite so right last year.
A new year…
What better time for a fresh start, right?
“Will you be a pallbearer?” he asked me.

We were just… we were just here.… —-> Continue…
