SATISFACTION: NOT ENOUGH, NEVER ENOUGH, CAN’T GET NO?

That moment of satisfaction where you relax, count your blessings, and reflect on what just happened? It’s a project just finished, a trip out of town, a night with the kids. You didn’t look for it, but you found some of that satisfaction. Maybe you didn’t recognize it at first. Or ever have. Now you […]

GROWING UP: THINGS TO DO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Growing up too fast in not a good thing. Neither is a prolonged childhood, Peter Pan. But there are thresholds along the way, things to wait on as well as things to accomplish as soon as possible. Twitter asked a question: “Why would you wait to get a covid vaccine during a pandemic?” It made […]

NEW FLEX: “I DID MY OWN RESEARCH” AND FOUND WHAT?

A new flex is always an interesting surprise, especially when it surprises the one flexing. “Don’t learn to type or you’ll end up being a clerk” turned into a flex of, “I can type one hundred word a minute.” The brawny movers and shakers lost some mojo to the pencil-necked geeks, so they did one […]

PROBLEM CHILD GETS ALL OF THE ATTENTION

The problem child is only a problem if they grow up to be problems for others. And themselves. Who wants to be a Problem Adult? No one. And yet, here we are.

MAKE EXCUSES THAT AT LEAST MAKE SOME SENSE

Make excuses for yourself that don’t make others look bad. If you’re more of an ‘excuse’ person than a ‘get things done’ person, at least make it plausible. Instead of, “I can’t do ____ , because of ___ ,” try and be convincing. Do this instead: “I did ____ , but I need help with […]

DOING ‘MY RESEARCH’ FOR EXTRA CREDIT

Hearing about people doing ‘my research’ gives me hope. Before making a big decision it’s best to know all you can about the possible outcomes, the likely effects, and how you would benefit. The problems start when the notion of doing anything extra, from reading, asking questions, to testing new knowledge, comes from people who […]

BLOG TOOLS: HOW TO ORGANIZE TIME AND SPACE

Blog tools help writers get where they’re going, and as any writer will tell you, they are going to fill up a page. Sometimes it’s a long, long, loooooong haul to fill up one page, then another, then another. Look at a stack of printer paper some time and imagine filling them all. From the […]

GOOD INTENTIONS START TOMORROW

Why do good intentions pave the way to hell? Because of the follow up. More precise, it’s the lack of follow up. Say the right thing, then do the right thing and you stay out of hell. Does this sound right? Sounds like accountability to me. So why the gap between what is said and […]

ABANDONED PLACES WHERE COMMON SENSE USED TO BE

Abandoned places can be literal or figurative. The first is an old log cabin in the woods rotting into the ground; the other is the hollow spot in your chest where a heart use to be. Why a heart? Because I’ve had recent experience with that hollow spot. With regard to emotions, ignore them long […]

MEDICAL SCIENCE FOR STREET DOCTORS

Medical science seems complicated from the outside looking in. If you’re on the inside looking out, it’s even more complicated. But it’s different for Street Doctors, or SDs. From them nothing is too complicated. And that’s a problem, a big problem. Not for them, for their ‘patients.’ Where do Street Doctors come from? Start with […]
