How am I feeling...? let me take stock for a moment... I'm... hmmm... the overriding feeling at the moment is a belly stuffed too full too close to bed. 😬 And the thought that comes immediately to mind is how grateful I am that I live in a place and have the resources to have … Continue reading 2021-06-04 — Back to Work

2021-06-03 — Skid No No
Hey, folks, I'm having trouble getting my brain going to say anything at all right now. 🤪 I got plenty of sleep (though my internal clock is completely messed up). I'm close to being on time to go to bed right now, but I've not even been up for 12 hours, I don't think, so … Continue reading 2021-06-03 — Skid No No
2021-06-02 — My Dear Tractor
It's been... a really good day today. 🙂 Well, of course it has... every day is a good day: it's just good in different ways. 🙃 So I guess I'd say, today was the happy, lighter type of good day. 😊 I'm grateful for that. I still feel like something outside of myself is probably … Continue reading 2021-06-02 — My Dear Tractor
2021-06-01 — Bed Ready
Hola, y buenas noches! 😊 Happy Tuesday to you. 🙂 I've been reminded today just how much my mental health depends on my willingness to focus on the positive instead dwell on the negative. Yes, it's true, that some of the deepest desires of my heart have have already been lost. The hope for others … Continue reading 2021-06-01 — Bed Ready
2021-05-31 — Bombed But Finding Shelter
Shortly after writing my blog post last night, a bomb sort of dropped when I received a message from a dear friend, and I ended up being up late and fighting off the anxiety that I'd done so well at battling the last couple of days. I'm proud of myself, though. I think I handled … Continue reading 2021-05-31 — Bombed But Finding Shelter
2021-05-30 — Light and Happy. 😊
It's been a lovely Sabbath day today. 😊 I slept in quite a bit, but I had a great conversation with Big Daddy this morning. I had a good conversation with my friend Brittani today. I had a good time at church today; and I had a good time wandering the trails today--among other things. … Continue reading 2021-05-30 — Light and Happy. 😊
2021-05-29 — Usable, Enjoyable 😊
Officially open for enjoyment. 😊 I spent a few hours or so today working on the trails, and though they are not done by any means, they are officially open for use and enjoyment, and I'm... excited. 😊 It was only a week or so ago that I was feeling really discouraged about the trails, … Continue reading 2021-05-29 — Usable, Enjoyable 😊
2021-05-28 — Digging Deep
Hey, folks! Guess what? It's been another really hard, long, draining, day today. But guess what?!?! I handled it... really well, I think. Well, at least a lot better than I usually do. It's hard for me to fast a normal fast. I've been doing lots of praying. And a dear friend of mine who's … Continue reading 2021-05-28 — Digging Deep

Hi, folks, It's late. I'm tired. It's been another really tough day. I'm worn out. Emotionally exhausted. Didn't really get anything of anything done today. Hope your hearts are lighter than mine. I'm breaking. Maybe I'll come back together stronger. I hope. Lift the World. ~ stephen  
2021-05-26 — Piling On
Hey, y'all. Been a really rough day today. Struggling... massively. Had a whole lot of really hard things all converge at once today, and... I... feel buried under a mountain. No way out but through, and tomorrow's another day. Didn't do any cars today. Spent the first half of the day struggling with some personal … Continue reading 2021-05-26 — Piling On
