StreetLights On A Saturday Night
Lost in the woods I took a walk today. The sun was out. Blue sky, pillowy clouds and blossoms on the trees. I love trees. I always find them calming and restorative, like natural anti-anxiety medicine. It was during this walk I found the right perspective again. I have been angry this week. I have…

Crossroads part 2 of 3
As I reviewed the stories from 2019, the one that stood out the most for me, and certainly the most amazing person I met this year while driving Uber/Lyft, is Holly from Green Mountain. Holly inspired with her story and reminded me how important it is to be present, not regret, be appreciative of life.…

Streetlights on a Saturday night: Entropy and the Pursuit of Happiness
This post was originally written in May of 2019. 14 more hospital stays over the last 5 years along with a body and mind that continues to unravel, and here I am. But don’t see me as struggling to walk. See me as up out of bed and fighting to get my life back. It…

I heard that phrase again yesterday, “…lost in the woods.” Reposting from December. I think it is worth repeating. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day all. “The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said…
