I could make this more complicated, but my story is a simple one to tell. I’ve always been a dreamer and and an optimist. This world can beat down dreams and optimism, but I don’t depend on this world for my inspiration. And I don’t depend on this world for esteem. It probably sounds old-fashioned and out-of-touch…but I believe in God. He’s the ultimate … The rest of the story…
Where I am now there’s the sound of thunder gently rolling across the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. A peaceful, light rain just finished splashing to the ground, and a very pleasant scent is drifting in through the open windows. It’s a nice feeling to hear and smell a summer rain. Maybe you’re still having hot, summer weather. And I’m guessing we’ll have some … The rest of the story…
One of the best things you can do to have a fun day is to help someone else. You might not make their problems all go away, but the important part is to be there. Be there for your friend…your family…your neighbor. And by “be there” I mean look for ways to give without having to be asked. We all need other people. And … The rest of the story…
Quick! Before anything else happens to distract you…think about nothing. You can’t do it, can you? If you think you can, then you just thought about something…which proves you can’t think about nothing. Oh no, it feels like we’re going in circles. If you think about it (ha ha), there’s really no such thing as nothing. So you couldn’t think about it even if … The rest of the story…
Do you ever dance in the kitchen? If not…why not? Who says the kitchen is just a place to prepare and cook food? After all…isn’t the kitchen the place where most everybody ends up when there’s a special occasion? Exactly. That’s where all the good smelling and tasting is. Right? If you make mealtime more fun, you might be surprised at how many health … The rest of the story…
The August sky was hot and blue today here in Colorado. Then, in the evening things cooled off with some rain and mountain breezes. Ahh…it’s so great to live in a place that can be in the 90’s during the day and cool off into the low 60’s at night. If you’re like me, you might enjoy the scent of rain sprinkling on the … The rest of the story…
There’s a moon in my room. Hey, I’m not kidding. There is! And some stars too. A few years ago we had a nephew living with us for a while. We gave him the bedroom at the end of the hall on the front side of the house. He discovered a potential business to get into where he’d paint stars and galaxies on ceilings … The rest of the story…
Do you feel good and happy today? It’s mostly a choice you know. After all, if you’re eating junky stuff that makes you feel bad and unhappy, that’s a choice you make. You can decide to eat a brainy breakfast, a live-food lunch, a dynamic dinner, and stimulating snacks. Or you can decide to eat a sugary toaster pastry for breakfast, a fatty fast-food … The rest of the story…

Yep, a study at University College in London backs up what Grandmother said all those years ago. Get those kids to bed at a decent and regular … The rest of the story…
May I make a recommendation? Listen to the music in the morning. It plays every single day without fail. And it doesn’t matter where you live…it’s there. In the spring, summer, and autumn there’s a symphony outside your home. When you open your windows in the morning, you can hear it. It’s there in the winter, too, but the cold air might keep you … The rest of the story…
