While I’d like to claim otherwise, I have some very significant issues with trust in my life. I find it difficult to place enough trust in others in just about any situation. I typically drive myself to activities (meetings and camping trips). I always bring my own supplies (be it a tent for camping or

Last week, I really wanted a BLT. I kept thinking about the BLTA Croissant that Red Robin has on the menu, and I couldn’t get the idea of having such a tasty sandwich out of my head. Unfortunately, pay-day isn’t until tomorrow, so running out and paying the $9-some-odd for the sandwich was out of

I had the chance to spend this past week out of town. Rather than be at work or even at home in front of my computer, I went up to the hills around Mt. Jefferson to camp with the Boy Scouts at Camp Pioneer. With the exception of a little misty/drizzly weather on Sunday, it

The other day, someone asked me what appeared to be the most unassuming question possible. “If there was something you could start doing today that would improve the quality of your life, what would it be?” On the surface, this seemed to be a very harmless question. I almost had an answer. Then I stopped

I’ve always had these three imaginary Roman pillars in my mind. When I need to escape something, be it monotonous work, a boring movie, or an uncomfortable moment with friends of friends, I retreat there in my mind. I kind of imagine a garden, full of life and beauty, with three huge marble pillars in

A few days ago I was introduced to the concept of a ‘Life Laundry Day.’ It’s a novel concept where you set aside one day each week (or month) and clean up not just the physical parts of your life, but the mental parts as well. I usually set Sunday’s aside. I get up early
