Moving Forward 3, Falling Back 2, But Never Quitting
I remember in school we were given a math problem about a snail in a well. The well was 10 feet deep and the snail was at the bottom. The snail could climb up 3 feet during the day but would fall back 2 feet during the night. The question is how many days does…

There’s No Normal Life, It’s Just Life
The movie Tombstone is a classic. It is a great story with great actors having Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday be the ingredient that makes great eggnog even better. It is a movie full of great quotes, many of which come from Doc Holliday. One such quote comes near the end of the movie. Talking with…

Life Happens, Delays Come, But Never Quit
2017 is here and just like for yourself it came with a list of goals I want to accomplish. Now that we are over two weeks into the new year I have already found myself behind on those goals. It is not for lack of trying but rather for lack of good health. Three days…

Merry New Year!
Merry New Year! I hope your Christmas and Holidays went well, even if it meant dealing with family for a few days. But that is what family was made for I guess. At any rate I hope 2016 was a good year and 2017 is even better. If 2016 was not a good year for…

What Is It Worth To You?
It is impossible to have it all. Impossible. No matter what anyone says it is impossible. People act like you can – they sell it to you in fashion, in homes, in cars, in movies, in books – they sell it to you because in those worlds of make believe it is possible. Here in…

Knowing What You Value
We all have things we value. For some they know exactly what they value, others may think they value one thing but value another, still others think they do not really value much but even that they value. What we value says a lot of who we are. That is why it is important to…

Yes, Other People Exist Too!
The other day I was waiting in line at Chick Fil-A for some delicious chicken. As I did I glanced around and observed others waiting in line. If you ever get a chance you should observe others as well. It is fascinating to me just how varied we can be – we can be doctors…

Not Just Yourself, Your Best Self
In high school I was a fairly straight-laced kid. I did not get into trouble much – the biggest issue was me throwing a penny across the room one time, (which at my school they treated seriously). I dressed about as normal as normal is. I did not stand out much at all. After high school…
