I made it through another week. It seems my posts about handling my stress help me to manage it better. Take my post last week about choosing to be happy, regardless of the outside influences. I wrote that thinking I needed to do better. Like always seems to happen, when I try to improve, IContinue reading “We’re All the Protagonists of Our Unfinished Stories”

Can We Choose to Be Happy?
I discovered something this week, or maybe I should say I relearned something this week. Sometimes, I choose to let outside influences determine my mood. But it doesn’t need to be that way. In the midst of all the seemingly compounding stress of my day job, I found myself growing quite frustrated. In fact, theContinue reading “Can We Choose to Be Happy?”
Don’t Miss the Small Things
Talking with a relative this week, I was reminded how easy it is to miss the small things. With all that happens in my day job and my family’s activities, it’s easy to focus on just what needs to be done. It’s easy to focus on the stress. Whether that is managing several projects inContinue reading “Don’t Miss the Small Things”
Goals and the Good Things in Life
Life is tough some times. In my experience, however, focusing on the negative around me, doesn’t make me any happier. I find that taking the time to notice the good helps me be more cheerful. Some of the most joyful people I’ve met seem to not notice, or at least not focus on, what theyContinue reading “Goals and the Good Things in Life”
Goals, Challenges, and Stress
This last week has been full of challenges in my day job. But the constant stress of my day job was compounded this week by a close friend’s struggle with the loss of a member of his extended family. That event caused a lot of added stress to his life, and made me thankful IContinue reading “Goals, Challenges, and Stress”
Big or Small, Goals Provide Purpose
I find myself still thinking about goals this week. I think part of that was from a conversation I had with a coworker last week. My coworker runs marathons, but he only started that later in life. How did he complete his first marathon? He started out small. He started out running three miles, whichContinue reading “Big or Small, Goals Provide Purpose”
Don’t Wait, Just Go For It
This week I’ve been thinking a bit about goals. In my stressful day job, having goals is important. But at the same time, not all my goals are grandiose or awe inspiring. Sometimes, my goal is to get enough sleep or read a few more pages in the books I’m currently reading. (Yes. I saidContinue reading “Don’t Wait, Just Go For It”
Slow and Steady, One Step at a Time
Before I start my post: My most recent book titled, A Map, a Mage, and a Sacrifice is available on Amazon Kindle for Free today, Friday, July 2, 2021. After taking a week away from my day job, getting back into the swing of those tasks I left behind has not been easy. Understandably, I’veContinue reading “Slow and Steady, One Step at a Time”
We All Need a Vacation, or an Escape
This week, my post is later than usual. I’ve been on vacation from my day job this week and it has been great. Getting away from my day job, and its stress has helped. Sometimes, physically getting away from my day job stress helps. I’ve spent part of the week getting together with extended familyContinue reading “We All Need a Vacation, or an Escape”
Patience. Sometimes it’s All We Need.
Amid all the other challenges this week, I’ve been thinking a bit about patience. So many tasks from my full time job have pulled at me, that I haven’t written as many pages as I hoped. I have still written every day this week. Writing a book takes patience just like most other things inContinue reading “Patience. Sometimes it’s All We Need.”
