The topic of this thought post has been rolling around in my brain for quite a while now, but only in lightning-quick flashes of thought, there and gone again--never seriously mulled over. I've wanted to write a post about the topic but have not done so because it could easily become a treatise of significant … Continue reading Morning Meditations: The Value of a Life

Happy end of my work week!!!!!!!! Perhaps y'all out there will be proud of me. Why? Well... because I cut out early today and said, "Nope. No more jobs today" (even though people were calling and wanted my help. I called it. I was just done today (that was probably about 3:30 ish. I still … Continue reading 2020-06-27 — Down By The River Side

Hola, mon baratok, frohlichen vendredi! 😊 We still have three more work days in the month of June, and we're already at 157 cars for the month. That's 24 more than last month's all-time record that smashed the previous all-time record for my company. We're pretty much in max territory for two people, I think. … Continue reading 2020-06-26 — Smashing Records

Sometimes I'm a little self conscious with how often I seem to struggle and have tough days. When I open up a blank post and get ready to write, I think about my day, and so often my first thought is: "Man, it was a rough day." But that seems to be a near daily … Continue reading 2020-06-23 — A Little Rough, Again

No, I didn't get to bed at 10:30 and then wake up at 1:21 to start writing in my journal. That would be cool and a funny way to start off the "stephen goes to bed at 10:30 now" step in my journey, but no, apparently the bedtime portion of that list is taking full … Continue reading 2020-06-22 — Slowing Down

Below is a list of actions that, over the coming days and weeks, I will work to complete/incorporate into my life (the list will be added to/updated regularly, I think:* List my Top 3 most important tasks to complete for the day, and work to complete them, in order of importance, until done, or for … Continue reading Steps in Journey

Hola, my lovely peeps, Happy Sunday's end. 😊 I'm sad to see my day off over, and I have a bit of that Sunday-night foreboding that I seem to have every week at the prospect of the coming week's work 😞 (perhaps it's more of a discouraged resignation than a foreboding? Perhaps it's both. It's … Continue reading 2020-06-21 — Happy 100th Active Post

(Yawn) I've already been nodding off a little, and I'm soooooo ready to hit the sack and just sleeeeeeeeep until I wake up (which will probably be early because my body just will out of habit 🙃). Today was the last day to turn in May's sales taxes, so that's what I've been doing for … Continue reading 2020-06-20 — Happy Solstice 😊
