Only Yellow Lights…

September 23, 2021September 16, 2021 RJ Walters

Will we ever see an end to this pandemic? It seems like one yellow light after another, with no end in sight. That is the most depressing place to be. That is what this post is all about. “There are … Continue reading Only Yellow Lights…

End of Life Trauma #9 – The Final Week.

September 22, 2021October 24, 2023 RJ Walters

I’m sure most people think of hospice as that short period that ends the suffering of terminal patients. This post will try to explain that this description is simplified at best, and actually somewhat misguided. As my wife continued her … Continue reading End of Life Trauma #9 – The Final Week.

Hard Work Is The Enemy Of Creativity

September 21, 2021July 5, 2025 RJ Walters

Let’s face some facts. The corporate world expects you to “Put your nose to the grindstone” and not let up until the job is done. That creates an atmosphere of workaholics who then go up the corporate ladder, and that … Continue reading Hard Work Is The Enemy Of Creativity

A Box Of Marbles…

September 18, 2021September 15, 2021 RJ Walters

I don’t know why some of the simplest images are the ones that fascinate me? Maybe I am “dumber than a box of marbles” but I love this picture from the Praire Museum in Colby, Kansas. Continue reading A Box Of Marbles…

September 17, 2021August 28, 2025 RJ Walters

I continue to try to find my way through this new life I have chosen for myself. As usual, I want it to happen NOW, but realize that it is more of a journey than a short stop. Some of … Continue reading RetComLife #9 – Privacy & Trade-offs

End of Life Trauma Part 8 – Hospice (continued)

September 15, 2021August 28, 2025 RJ Walters

These next two post in the series will probably be the most difficult to write. But they were also the time I came across the most empathic person I have ever known. I finished off the last post on this … Continue reading End of Life Trauma Part 8 – Hospice (continued)

September 14, 2021October 13, 2021 RJ Walters

It seems that I am now in some new stage of grief from my wife’s recent death. It has been two months today that she drew her last breath. I think up till now I have just been consumed with … Continue reading Stages of Grief…

Another Approach…

September 13, 2021September 12, 2021 RJ Walters

I know President Biden has tried many different approaches to get LMPIs (lazy-minded, proudly-ignorant) people to get a vaccination. He has offered cash incentives and even an instant lottery ticket for only those who take the shot. That doesn’t seem … Continue reading Another Approach…

Worship Instead of Follow?

September 12, 2021September 12, 2021 RJ Walters

I’m going to keep this Sunday’s post short and simple. Richard Rohr, via the words above, has spelled out almost everything that I see as misguided about most of today’s versions of religion. Belonging and Believing something is simple, actually … Continue reading Worship Instead of Follow?

RetComLife #8 – It is a Puzzling Life

September 11, 2021August 28, 2025 RJ Walters

RetComLife #7 -I’m Not Old.

September 10, 2021August 28, 2025 RJ Walters

I am old; I recognize it but I don’t realize it. I wonder if a person ever really ceases to feel young — I mean, for a whole day at a time. Mark Twain I still remember the Mark Twain … Continue reading RetComLife #7 -I’m Not Old.

Still Dreaming…

September 9, 2021September 8, 2021 RJ Walters

I have spent many hours in these pandemic months in my barn working on my µRV (micro RV for those who don’t know Greek). She now has a front deflector that gives me an extra three miles-per-gallon. Even though it … Continue reading Still Dreaming…

High Intelligence Means That You Are On The Margins

September 7, 2021September 5, 2021 RJ Walters

Having high intelligence almost always means you are living life on the margins. Of course, the perfect example of this was Albert Einstein. People with high intelligence break new ground and are always looking for things to challenge them. Mainstream … Continue reading High Intelligence Means That You Are On The Margins

Chaos, Good News…

September 6, 2021August 28, 2025 RJ Walters

This is going to be one of those epiphany posts where I learn a little about myself. One of my favorite quotes comes from the sci-fi movie called Tron. Chaos, Good News I read that to mean that sometimes we … Continue reading Chaos, Good News…

RetComLife # 6 – The Pathways of Life

September 3, 2021August 28, 2025 RJ Walters

One of the things I most enjoy about my new retirement community life is the 0.66 mile walking path around the perimeter of the property. It is a peaceful trek that I take twice a day, and sometimes even more. … Continue reading RetComLife # 6 – The Pathways of Life
