It may seem that the odds are stacked against you. The truth is that if you really, really, want to achieve it, execute it, learn it, or complete it, you can. YOU, just don’t want it badly enough.

Blocks
Are you a building? Do you have a strong foundation? Can this foundation stay strong when floods come trying to wash away your base? Are you properly waterproofed to prevent leaks? Is the foundation formidable enough to support the flooring built atop it? Are your walls thick enough? Do they keep out the cold, and […]
Blank page
Once, many years ago, I encountered a quote about writing. This quote, which I am slightly paraphrasing, went something like “The greatest tragedy in writing is the blank page.” Now I don’t know how true that particular statement is, although I can understand as a writer, the feeling involved in this statement or quote, relating […]
Yearning to go, compelled to stay
What would it matter if I go away? Most people don’t know I’m here anyway. There’s comfort in staying. And then there’s boredom. There’s fear in leaving. And then there’s freedom. There’s stability in staying. And then you stand still. There’s chaos in leaving. Then there’s the thrill. There’s familiarity in staying. Then it’s annoying. […]
Bagel life

B versus D (ruery)
There is no doubt that the Bruery is one of my all time favorite breweries. Releasing such decadent treats as Black Tuesday, the twelve days of Christmas series, Chocolate Rain, and a host of other amazing brews, it’s no surprise that anything released by the Bruery, attracts my attention and palate. But what about this […]
Fill it up!
Which type of person are you? We are often forced to choose between being a glass half full, and a glass half empty person. I don’t know who came up with this exercise, but it’s a little strange isn’t it? We are presented with this scenario where we are hypothetically looking at this glass, which […]
The Very Unhappy Sitting Device
During my teenage years and into my early twenties I listened to a fairly popular rock band. They were known for several hits including Rooster, Would, Man in the Box, and Down in a hole. The band responsible, was Alice in Chains. The band had a signature sound, featuring guitar riffs that were gritty, crunchy, […]
Can/Cant
Never pose the question, “What can I do?” Instead say, ”What can’t I do!” Humbly yours J
