My Life in “Full Bloom”

April 18th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Historical, Perspective, Philosophical, Reflections, Spirituality, Uncategorized

I bought the painting, “Full Bloom,” of the old wood framed house 10 years ago because it reminded me so much of the house I grew up in out on the farm east of a typical west Texas town.  Yet, when my mom came to visit, she didn’t see any resemblance at all, and she [...]

First, I must apologize to you all because for some reason, I have not been getting your comments here in my email, so had no idea there were any at all on my last post and some needing approval on my last two posts.  And, one was from Tom, whom I have now “approved,” so [...]

[Note:  First things first.  Last time I asked you to figure out something a bit "off" in the first photo I posted.  Y'all aren't very observant!  You were "supposed" to notice the really hairy leg  in the bottom left corner of the picture!  It's NOT me!  Just want to clarify that.  Other than that, everything [...]

I ended last time with us getting to the boat to go sailing.  For one who was once a real sailor, I had somehow turned into a big scaredy cat.  Tom climbed all over the boat and around getting the lines to the pier off, getting the sails uncovered and getting those lines ready to [...]

Who, Us? Gone Sailin’!! – Part 1

Life is good. Tom has gone sailing today.* Okay, you say, so what’s the big deal about that? Well, due to circumstances way beyond our/his control, this is the very first time he’s had the chance.  If you are regular readers, and I’m sure you all are, then you’ve read my posts all spring and [...]

Growing Up; Maturing; Becoming Wise

September 23rd, 2010 · 4 Comments · Philosophical, Reflections, Spirituality, Uncategorized

“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise” A Facebook friend posted this quote this morning and I thought it was very good.  I do not know the author, so cannot attribute [...]
