I’m going to let you in on my secret of life. It has taken me seven decades of continuous searching to discover this secret. Find something you might enjoy and then do it.

I went through much of my life afraid of change. … Continue reading Seeking a Joyous Journey – It’s Never Too Late
No, I am not one of those old people who is against everything invented in the last 20 years. Nor am I a person who spends the typical 2 hours a day clicking through my social media accounts.

I know one of the ranting points of many folks is how the “mom & pop” business have almost disappeared from America. But according to an article I recently read they are mounting a very striking comeback. Thanks to Amazon! Several of the items I have purchased recently are obviously from small and medium sized business. Amazon encourages small businesses to engage with them.

I am one of the many people who regularly watch NCIS on TV. There are so many NCIS’s now that I guess I need to expand that sentence. I’m talking about the one with Leroy Jethro Gibbs. One of the things I like about him is his rules. I don’t know how many rules he has, but his team seems to know them all. When … Continue reading Seeking a Joyous Journey -Rules
