Bypass

I had bypass surgery 6 months ago this coming Wednesday. 5 bypasses. I am back at crossfit challenging myself to be more. Testing the limits of healing and the body’s response. I am pushing forward. I realized once again that the gift is fragile. Yet the body and spirit are amazing. We are the ultimate […]

Ageless

Ageless. Timeless. Each day stands alone. Each day holds the promise of a chance to replay the hand you have been dealt. You can carry anger, fear, defeat forward or let it go. It is your choice. Can you learn the lesson and then move forward or are you locked into the same lesson over […]

A question of character

It all comes down to a question of character. There is always the obstacle. There is always the fall. There is always a failure somewhere along the journey. But then even in moments of success and clarity when the hurdle is overcome, it is a question of character. The honorable, decent, gracious manner and style […]

Poetry

What would your life be like if it was a poem? After all, it is. Do you see life as the romance it can be? Romance. Passion. Spirit. Light. Darkness. Life. Death. Reaching for the stars. Drowning in self pity. Poetry. Today, don’t live in the rut. Don’t live in the dull. Live in the […]

The uneven road

The uneven road. It is always there. Life is this uneven road. That is just the nature of the road we travel. Don’t expect a smooth path. Recognize it is uneven for all. Acceptance then permits you to look up, look out and move forward. And time keeps ticking. And the road seems unforgiving at […]

The best thing

The best thing. Of all the things in life what is or are the best things. As time flies by and as events change plans and dreams are realized or shattered what is the best thing. I always go back to the simple moments in life. Your child’s smile or laugh. Your lover’s look. The […]
