One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

Beating the booze
'Beating the booze' may be an exaggeration. All I have done is to come up with a new approach to cutting down my alcohol intake. Why? Am I a drunk, an alcoholic, a problem drinker? No, to at least two of these questions and 'not really' to the other. I will admit that I drink more than is strictly healthy so that, from time to time, I make attempts at cutting down my alcohol intake. Some are quite successful... for a while at any rate.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp !

What If Reality Runs Deeper Than What We Can See
Most of us are trained, often without realizing it, to treat what is visible as what is most real. Actions, outcomes, results, behavior. These are the things that can be measured, discussed, praised, or corrected. They are concrete, undeniable, and easy to point to. When something goes wrong, attention naturally moves toward what can be seen. When something goes right, credit is assigned to what just happened. This way of seeing feels practical, even obvious. But what if it quietly reverses how reality actually works.

My Dad Taught Me What Richness Really Means
You all have heard this phrase "life is not bed of roses", several times. Yes this phrase. We all understand its deep meaning. Now, I want to make minor but deep changes in the phrase. Instead of using "is", I am using "was".
