I have always understood the value of a healthy lifestyle … maybe more so when I was not living one. Usually when I slip away from one is in the darker times of my life, which is not really so unusual. Self-abuse … even passive aggressive self-abuse … is not uncommon when we are unhappy […]
I realize I have been very quiet here lately … a sure way to chase away the few people who might be interested in this little project. The truth is that I have been have a crisis of faith. Faith in myself; faith in my motives. The first step to making ANY project work is […]
As I think I may have mentioned along the way, I took a bit of a “vacation” that i just recently got back from. I am not sure one can truly call it a vacation when I don’t have a typical 9-5 life, but it was a change of scenery and a bit of refreshment […]
Make myself sweat for a half and hour or so just so I can hurt all day? Why would I want to do that? I KNOW I am not the only person who has asked myself a question like that when I was first thinking about exercising again. Especially when it had been so long […]
Everything we do in life is a choice. Even the mood we are in. People are always saying that they are searching for happiness. My take on it is that happiness is not something to look for, but something to choose to be. If we are unhappy, it is because we have not chosen to […]

Anthropologists have discovered a new species to add to the list of human development. It seems that there is a subspecies of Homo Sapiens called Homo Happyamiyes. This subspecies is somewhat rare, but not so rare that they don’t interact with Homo Sapiens. The subspecies is very similar in characteristics to Homo Sapiens, with a few notable differences. For […]
A few days ago I was in a wonderful mood. The last two days, I could barely make myself get out of bed. All I wanted to do was sleep. So what changed? Was there some great tragedy in my life (or maybe another’s) that caused my mood to shift? Did I get some horrendous news? Was I sick? Did […]
It is uncanny how often reading other people’s words inspire something within me. Actually this is both a testament to the power of words in general, but even more so to the writing skills of the bloggers I frequent.
