Turning the Page

As life goes on, I often find inspiration to write through what I experience. The inspiration is strongest when a shift occurs or when something dramatic happens.  Yesterday, another chapter of my life came to an end. This chapter didn’t last very long, although at one point I was sure that it would. But theContinueContinue reading “Turning the Page”

Ramblings about COVID-19

The liquor store will be closed after today. I had to run out and grab a bottle. Personally, I think the world is overreacting a bit. Governments should put the onus on the citizens themselves to decide if they want to stay indoors or not. I’m an introvert. I stay six feet away from peopleContinueContinue reading “Ramblings about COVID-19”

Musings on the Current State of Society

*Disclaimer: I am not an anthropologist. I am merely interested in a lot of things and as I write this blog post, this subject happens to be at the forefront of my thoughts.

Musings on Being a 42 Year Old Man

If I don’t stretch every morning, which I don’t, my body will feel it’s age. On the days that I do stretch, like today, I can feel the difference. My body is more loose, more agile and ready to go. I can’t recall if this was true when I was in my 20’s, but I’mContinueContinue reading “Musings on Being a 42 Year Old Man”

My Best Life

In February of 2012, I made the difficult decision to move 600 miles away from everything I knew. Being six months removed from an eleven month stint in prison, I knew it was time for change. My girlfriend, who was my partner for the previous eleven years, no longer wanted to be with me. MyContinueContinue reading “My Best Life”

PARADIGM SHIFT

Is it possible for an introvert to become an extrovert? As I head into my mid forties, this question has become more prevalent. In my thirties, the very thought of having extroverted tendencies was laughable. I had absolutely no desire to be social in any way. However, recent changes in my life has made meContinueContinue reading “PARADIGM SHIFT”

Musings on Having a Daily Routine

We all have things we do everyday as habit. We wake up at a certain time, shower at a certain time, eat at a certain time and so on. When we cluster groups of things together and continue to do them for extended periods of time, we develop a routine. For me, my routine cameContinueContinue reading “Musings on Having a Daily Routine”
