We used to meet at Al’s place at 4:30 a.m. to go hunting. His dogs knew where we were headed and were possessed by the same excitement felt by a kid attending his first major league opening day. We can learn a lot from dogs and kids whose enthusiasm knows no bounds.

There is something about sunsets and beaches that seeps into the soul. Joined together, they are nature’s way of slowing us down so appreciation is foremost and acceleration fades away.

It’s just human nature…..this disease of me a curse we’ve been given it seems to be living each week so selfishly until the last day when we realize that it’s all about Thee * Pat Riley was the coach of The LA Lakers and coined the phrase ‘The disease of me’ as he tried to […]

A very young cowboy was reading a book this week and the author wrote that he’d stumbled on a terrific life tip. He said the day that he stopped listening to the voice in his head and committed to speaking to himself was transformative. I took it to mean that it’s wise to give yourself […]
