Sometimes bizarre things happen. The virus impacting the world is just one of those things. Trouble happens. Like most things that happen in life, it is generally less about the trouble and more about how we relate to it. I think it is possible to be both cautious and careful. At any given moment

Before I travel I always clean my home and everything in it. I like to come back from wherever I have been to clean sheets, a freshly vacuumed house and a newly cleaned refrigerator. It takes a toll on me but I do it because I like feeling relaxed after awhile away. So I did my thing and now I lo

It is impossible not to notice the things that go on around us daily. I try really hard to concentrate on the things I can do, rather than obsessing about things I can not do. It isn't always easy but it is always more productive and dare I say it.....satisfying to keep moving forward with persis

I have always believed that doing the simple things is what distinguishes the really successful people from the others. I believe in staying in touch with people period. I do this personally and still do it professionally. People enjoy being remembered: I know I do. So it remains my practice to c

I have been around Active Rain a long time. I have made friends here and while I am not sure I have ever influenced anyone I do read and comment plenty. That said, I am done with those who use tiny fonts I can not easily read. I used to leave that message along with the comment but no more. I wis
