Don’t know about you, Cosmic Reader, but I’m one of those who is goal driven. I think I always have been. For me, it provides focus. It ‘tells’ me that out of all the various paths before me, one leads more directly to where I’m going. I should define my words – goals are not […]

I’m a half full type. I don’t remember not being this way. If there’s a silver lining… I’ll find it. If there’s something ‘good’ to be seen… I’ll see it. And I think I’m really blessed to be able to look at life in this way. This particular mindset, though, can be extremely annoying to

They aren’t the same, you know. However, to save any initial argument I’m going to provide my definitions so you’ll understand why I’m saying what I’m saying. Job: something you do to increase the flow of money into the family unit. Work: something you do that provides you with fulfillment, motivation, and challenge. This means

P.5(Sorry Cosmic, still cogitating on ‘Heroes’ but will return to the subject.)I fell in love with Scotties when I was 3 or so and saw a picture of them in “Life” or “Look” magazine, advertising, I think, liquor. But they looked so adorable that I was hooked.It was another 40 years before I was able

It could be argued that: 1- we don’t need heroes, or 2- there are a number of choices available. Not. At least the heroes of yesteryear seem larger than life but the candidates for heroes today – aren’t. But that’s not the critical point.We all need heroes, including adults. I could get ‘sophomoric’ and say

P3Hello Coz (new nickname for you)There really should be another ‘D’ but none of the words seem to express my intent. As you can easily see, I’m still in the investigative stage of blogging. Clicking madly on one page after another to see all the ‘things’ available. I’m not going to get too esoteric yet.

P-2. Hello dear Cosmic Reader (I much prefer to be dialoguing w/ someone then to think I’m merely hearing my own heartbeat. I think I shall call you CR for short.)If you’ve chanced onto this blog and expect to be intellectually challenged… well… maybe. But not continually, or should that be continuous?, however there will

After 15 months it seemed like it just might be time to start this blog. I have absolutely no idea if anyone will ever read it. Then again, I’m not certain that is the purpose of blogs. Blogs, in my humble estimation, are opportunities to share. Admittedly I am a self proclaimed frustrated writer but
