Fore-teen May 2017

Hard to believe it’s been a week since the last proper entry. But not really. The battles, obstacles & problematic issues continue to mount and grind, wear down and exhaust the faint of heart. Why, truth be told, iffen one can HANDLE such a thing, it could, does and WOULD wear down a lesser spirit.

YOU are fortunate for you know at LEAST one where such things cannot, do not and will not wear your writer down into submission.

Oh sure, things do get a bit overwhelming at times dare I say APPROACHING depressing but not.

A person of honest and strong character faces such things, realizes it is a temporary problem and simply DEALS with it.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom.

Thanks for all the fine tools you & Dad passed along to me so as I can navigate this thing called life.

When you find yourself at a pity party for one, think of how much worse it could be. This snaps me right out of it and usually pretty fast.

I mean one COULD have to work at Home Depot FULL TIME to make ends meet. And one COULD be on the list of a liver transplant. Do you have enough to eat ? Are the aches and pains of the aging process a little less today by chance ?

Are you back to Reality yet ?

Forget the problems of the moment, or even long term, for things can change.

Make a shorter term plan or set of objectives and attack them with vigor and an aggressive enthusiasm. Get tired working.

Have some fun.

Today work is a full (8 hour) shift so I have ‘free time’ this morning to get this entry filed and finish the yard work only begun early last evening or late afternoon..

Before dark, how’s that?

A coolish, sunny morning. Trim, edge & mow and a bike ride is overdue & I am way behind on the training schedule.

Must now dash. I know details are lacking however contributions, donations, fund raising and subscriptions are lacking & behind schedule as well.

Hang in there as my Dad used to say.
