Frustration

I try and keep up with the news and current events. Sometimes I wonder if I should.  I often wonder how we got here, and try and explain or figure out that answer.  There is so much discourse that floats around with no one willing to bend.  I often wonder why people have become this way.     i wonder if there is a solution… 

A tale of nothingness

 Today i didn't know what to write.  my throat hurts. 

Time off does the mind good?

I didn't write last week… and i nearly missed today.  Some times, time gives us an escape. Other times it heals wounds.  In the case of this last week, sometimes life get's in the way. I suppose you can surmise the real reason.  I would like to think I will be able to avoid other lapse in posts, but let's cross that road when we get there.  Let's see what tomorrow brings

The fear of failure

I didn't post yesterday… I suppose like most people I live with the fear of failure.  What makes fending off failure so difficult are the never ending abundance of opportunities to fail, at least that is what a pessimist would say. If the coin lands on tails, you lost heads. You didn't win silver, you lost gold.  I like to think I'm an optimist. Could you imagine the success in winning a silver? While the odds are 50/50 to guess the side a coin falls on, it's pretty impressive to guess correctly! But reality is never so black and white. We float through the world in shades of grays, even colors at times. Our ups and downs—wins and losses—are so intertwined that we often cannot distinguish between our wins and losses. Perhaps that is a good thing.  If there are no winners and no losers does that mean we've met in the middle and compromised?  I'm not sure I know the answer. What I do know is how easy it is to see only what our minds want us to see. We are at the w...

Understanding that no one is listening…

 I wasn't sure why I wanted to start writing.  Part of me hoped and assumed the moment I started writing my posts would become legendary; my pearls of wisdom plucked from the seabed of the internet and gently strung upon the neck of society for all to see.  And then the fear of that reality set it. So I made excuses and never started; like so many things in my life. I also know, in todays world, that everyone is judged by what they say or have said. And I know I have and will have opinions which will rub people the wrong way. I've also always questioned my competence, knowledge, education, and abilities. I can win the fake arguments. I can win the shower arguments. I can win when it doesn't matter. The place I always seem to fail is when I am bulldozed by the individual who cares only for the win but never for the truth.  But I will try…  Perhaps this will become my digital diary, perhaps it will become a place to vent, perhaps it will become something completel...

Where to start?

 There needed to be a first. This seemed as good a version as any.
