New Category: Daily Prompt
Not that I have believe I have any kind of following that would notice… but… I have a new category for my posts called ‘Daily Prompt’. I started it because after more than 60 days of writing daily posts I am finding it hard to come up with all original ideas. Or be inspired by…

Golden Rule vs Platinum Rule
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Pretty straight forward, right? Treat others as you would want them to treat you. Or is it. Think about this for a moment. To help I would like you to think about a dinner party. After dinner, before the dessert comes out. Your the…

Is a little chaos actually good for us?
I guess that would depend on what is your personal definition of chaos. Our house is full of chaos and has been since my children were young.

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend”
Albert Camus I’ve always love the notion of this statement. The idea of walking through life with friends at your side. Traveling together through life’s ups and downs. Being there for one another on equal ground. I have been fortunate on many occasion to have this be a reality, in my personal life. However, those…

Life before GPS
I read a post about this. REALLY? According to the post the company that created it was founded in 1989. So it stands to reason that people got around for more than One Thousand and Eighty-nine YEARS without GPS. Seriously, technology isn’t a new concept. We could ask; “How did we get along without the…
