Great day today, isn’t it?  What day isn’t?  Tell you what, if ANYONE can tell me what day isn’t great, I’ll have to get into a rebuttal with them.  Here’s what I say today about that; this morning, I had a schedule change, which sometimes I question, when it happens at the last minute.  Here’s what I figured out;  that it isn’t the schedule change that engages the “I question” mentioned above, it’s the routine that gets disrupted.  I think that we all know that theme; routine.  I think it’s a cue that we must go forward,  on our routine, but I also think that change is the biggest hurdle…

SMILE: v.  to assume a facial expression indicating pleasure, favor, or amusement.  To regard with favor.  To express a smile, a smile approval. It’s a beautiful thing.  All and/or any of these definitions can count.  I rate smiles to a thing called beauty.  It is, to me.  Think about it; when you’re walking down the street, through the parking lot, walking through a doorway, or just sitting in your yard, and someone smiles and says “good morning”, or even “hello”,  I’ll bet my pocket full money, (not much, by the way), that you WILL smile back, and respond.  Again, that’s a beautiful thing.  What could be more natural, and effortless? …

The symmetry was breath taking.  Round curves, a body which comments can’t describe, and her color, OMG!!!  I just want to close my eyes, and let my hands caress those…Wait, wait, wait; what’s going through that noggin of yours?  Oh, I get it… and I’ll let you know something, “it” has 4 wheels.  It really is a site to behold; black on black and the sound!  Again, OMG!!!  Lamborghini; can somebody PLEASE give the word that should be used, besides GORGEOUS.  Lamborghini.  Couldn’t resist, had to have it; the ride sold me.  A couple of people laid that wonderful pitch on me.  Actually, it was a team of six, and…

I love finding things that make so much sense to me, literal or common sense.  We’ve all been there, but here’s my version of how I recognize these motivational instances.  NOW.  I know, I’ve said this before, probably more than you really want to hear, but that’s why I say it. To me, it’s really important:  NOW.  It just means that you’re staying alive; every minute, every second of the day, day after day.  Think about this, what makes you happy?  “I’ll be happy when…when I get money, when I get a Rolls Royce, when I get this job”.  Let me tell you how I see it; you never get…

I love Mondays, to me, it’s the most beautiful day of the week.  You guys DO agree with me, right?  Sometimes I hear people say that Mondays are bad;  first work day of the week, got four(or five) more to go, don’t like my job, I have to do this on Tuesday, and that on Wednesday…..OK!  OK!.  How I know this is cliche, but it could be worse.  For every “bad” day, there will always be a positive to that day.  Ok, on Mondays, that “bad” day, you woke up.  How great is that? This past week, a  32 year old, with a wife, and a child, went to bed,…

I’m hoping that your New Year’s resolution, (January), is ROCKIN’!  All of those “after Christmas” remarks; how are they hanging?  Nothing standing in our way?  Remember, no excuses, right?  It doesn’t matter what you promised yourself, that just happens to be your goal.  Keep in mind that you are you, remember how we talked about that before?  Please, please, please, don’t rely on someone else to give you approval for YOUR goals, these are your goals.  Whatever they are.  Try to remember one thing, “That was then, this is NOW!”.  We’ve heard this a million times in our past, but really look at it.  This is NOW.  No other way…

Blues song; so what is constant with “black”, (last name);  four wheeled carriage, (first name).  Think about it.  So, what else have you been thinking about?  A great fitness plan?  A dynamite juice plan?  An incredible smoothie recipe, or several of them?  Just wait, I’ll tell you more, later.  It’ll be a secret right now.  (Don’t you love that?). I’m assuming that everyone had a GREAT Christmas, and New Years.  I did.  I went to spend the holidays with my family, and had a great time throughout the whole time there; Las Vegas of all places!  Most of the time, I spent with my parents.  I feel very blessed and…

The singer, the singer!  Come on, somebody knows who sings this blues song. Bring it back to me! BLUES SONG: a modulation in jazz; depressed spirits, melancholy;  torch song.  DEPRESSED SPIRITS!#*, maybe that leads on to change; it should, don’t you think?  Do you ever think about change in your life, your experiences, your beliefs?  It happens, every day.  All it takes is observation, knowing your moment in time is “now”.  Don’t worry, I’m not going off on the deep end here, I’m just telling you to open yourself up, and let things in, in your life.  Do we all believe that somewhere, in this day today, there might be…

To everyone: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!  It’s a great day, isn’t it?  I mean, you can eat an overload of food, feel terrible, but not feel guilty, right?  I mean, that’s expected from everyone.  Most people do; I’m just not the one who wants to feel terrible.  Oh, trust me, it has happened many, many times, and then I say, “I’ll never….”.  I even went on the bandwagon of only wanting “white” meat, because it’s got more protein.  That isn’t exactly right; well, it is, to a point.  A piece of white meat has only got about 2-3 grams of protein more than dark meat; but really, what’s the point?  If you’re…

I don’t know what to start with, here, but the word “GRACE” sticks in my mind.            GRACE: n/4. favor or goodwill; 5. manifestation of favor, especially by a superior; 6.mercy. Hard word to use, when I have so much warm thoughts to all of my relatives, cousins aunts, uncles, and friends who live in Washington, Illinois; and East Peoria, Illinois.  I will start with the sadness of family and friends who lost a family member during this past tornado, this past Sunday.  It’s unexpected, and sudden.  Everything in pictures, and videos, describe destruction.  View any pictures, and videos yourselves,  in the past couple of days, I’m sure that you will…
