Motivated
One of the best ways to keep motivated when learning a new skill is to have accountability. If I’m not accountable to someone, somewhere, at a specific time, it is hard for me to keep going. Here’s a few examples: Cello- if I’m not taking lessons I don’t practice. I was taking lessons for a…

Overrated
I love classics. They are a lot meatier than many modern books out there. They’ve got substance. They stick with you. Give you something to think about. There’s classics I’ve read years ago that I still think about from time to time. Some of my favorite authors are the Brontes and Thomas Hardy. I really…

Space/Invaders
I was a 70s/80s kid. And while I’ve written about my gaming obsessions before, along with my space/alien obsession, I’m not sure that I’ve really gotten into Space Invaders a whole lot. I loved that game. Played it until my eyeballs would practically dry up from not blinking for 45 minutes straight. We played it…

Shop/Eat/Read/Repeat
I love my little town. It’s very quaint, with lots of shops and lots of restaurants. The shops have a very boutique-vibe. There’s a bookstore. Coffee shops. It’s fun to shop there, especially when I’m looking for something unique, or for a book. 🙂 A couple weekends ago, I went downtown with my sister to…

Acceptance
There’s this phrase they use in AA, from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous: “Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.” I’d say more than anything, that’s a phrase that I’ve adopted for my own and one that I live by. But let’s talk about what acceptance does and does not mean. Acceptance…

Risks
According to Merriam-Webster, a risk means “possibility of loss or injury” or “someone or something that creates or suggests a hazard.” I suppose then, the last time I took a risk was when I recently did a five mile race that I hadn’t trained for. I had signed up for it last year, along with…

Words I Should Have Said… Things I Should Have Done
Have you ever gotten close to someone, and for any number of reasons, they were suddenly gone from your life but you didn’t get to say goodbye? Sometimes it happens… There are people I think of over the past few years that I’ve taken care of more times than I can count. And suddenly (or…
