Roads Not Taken
I have always been a dreamer and a person who constantly looks to the future. When I was a very young boy I would go out into the backyard of our 1950s $14,000 tract home and lay on the dewy … Continue reading Roads Not Taken

There Is Always A Tomorrow
(Until there isn’t) Procrastination is an integral part of humanity. We put off tomorrow what should have been done today. There is always a tomorrow, or is there? You should never give up on life until you take your last … Continue reading There Is Always A Tomorrow
A New Morning In America…
Now that the current Oval Office occupant has been defeated, it’s time to look once again to set a course to a bright future for our country. I hope that we the voters have learned a lesson from the dark … Continue reading A New Morning In America…
A Hidden Ambition…
One of my many hidden ambitions is to be a life coach. Someone who gives advice on the direction you might take to in your future. But, in some ways that is what RJsCorner has always been about. It is … Continue reading A Hidden Ambition…
I’ve Always Been A Writer… Except When I Wasn’t
Let’s get away from politics for at least today. I have always been a dreamer making up stories about where I would be in my life xx years in the future. Those early dreams spanned from being a Van Gogh … Continue reading I’ve Always Been A Writer… Except When I Wasn’t
I Don't Dream Much About My Future Anymore…
As I have said several times here at RJsCorner, I have always been a dreamer, even in my very early years. But for the most part my dreams have dramatically changed now. That is what this post is all about.

I don’t know about you, but I just can’t seem to simply sit down in front of my computer monitor and come up with ideas for posts here at RJsCorner. In the cold weather months I post daily here, so where do all the ideas come from? That is the topic of this post.

I am a dreamer to my core; it is just who I am.That is simultaneously a curse and a blessing.I recognize how things are but imagine them to be better.There is no place better to do that than Mesa VerdeMy first visit there seemed almost spiritual.I could almost see my ancestors living their daily lives.How they got there no one really knows.Why they left is pretty much the same.The stone and adobe walls they built are still there.I touched them and dreamed I was among them.In their isolation they lived in peaceful harmony with nature.But that is kinda the Native … Continue reading Painting with Words – Mesa Verde
Our Last Best Hope??
There just seems to be one bad thing after another happening in America today. It is hard to stay optimistic about our future. Our current Oval Office occupant is inciting hatred and ignorance among his “followers” so now they are trying to kill the people he does not like. Some seem to have gulped down the cool-aid he is serving by the gallon! It just seems to get worse and worse as each day passes.  I am a very strong advocate of Thomas Jefferson’s quote “Hope is sweeter than despair” so I look for hope especially during these trying times. … Continue reading Our Last Best Hope??
Haters Are…
There just seem to be a lot more haters in the world today. They are bitter about one thing or another they envy so many others and covet what they have they voted to put an incompetent, ignorant, bullying narcissist in the Oval Office. I will come out and say it, I think that many of those who voted for this guy are just lazy losers. They don’t want to take the time to understand the issues that are confronting us as a nation or even on a personal level. I think they know that he is incompetent and only … Continue reading Haters Are…
A Lot Of Noise Goin On…
I don’t know why I seem to be so fixated on sounds lately let alone poultry stuff. My daily and weekly posts here are RJsCorner are now named after sounds (cackle and squawk) that chickens make. I need to get to the underlying reason for this. 🙂 I lost my hearing thirty years ago, and since then my brain has forgotten what many sounds sound like. Sadly one of those areas is musical instruments. I used to play the guitar, not terribly well but to my own satisfaction, and I really enjoyed that pleasure. Now when I see a musical instrument … Continue reading A Lot Of Noise Goin On…
Other People’s Dreams..
This is going to be one of those philosophical posts so hang on to your hat. I have always been a dreamer. For the most part I didn’t imagine that my lofty dreams would ever come true and for the most part, they didn’t. 🙂 When I was young my dreams were often a result of the many fictional books I read. My favorite authors during those years were John Steinbeck and Jack London. These two guys took me to places I never knew existed and to people very different from me. When I got a little older I started dreaming … Continue reading Other People’s Dreams..
The Dreams Of The Future..
  Thomas Jefferson is my favorite writer of all time.  He was not a good public speaker but he sure knew how to put pen to paper. He was also a very prolific writer. His archive spans thousands of letters and treatises about a wide variety of topics.  He loved studying history as his library showed but more so he loved dreaming of the future. I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. So good night! I will dream on. Thomas Jefferson to John Adams August 1, 1816 Anyone who has been around RJsCorner … Continue reading The Dreams Of The Future..
