Saturday Morning Reflection #7

Here it is...another Saturday. The first thing I want to say is...GO HERD...the second this is... WE ARE...MARSHALL

The proud tradition of MARSHALL football have been chronicled in the newspapers, television shows, and even a movie. Many of us (readers of this Blog) have, and always will be proud supporters of MARSHALL athletics. Today we play wvu...lets all cheer for a MARSHALL victory.

Everyone knows how I feel about MARSHALL football...Latisha has offered to come over and watch football with me and wear her wvu shirt.

Lets talk about life. My life is just fine. Outside of my house the birds still sing, the cats still watch them, and the sun continues to try and shine thru the clouds of winter. Through the dark days of winter we all need to remember that spring is only a short distance ahead and will be upon us soon. I intend on being thankful for all of the seasons.

I have been reading about ice fishing in the great frozen north. Thinking about giving that a try. The question is...Do you think I could wear shorts inside of one of those little mobile fishing shacks (with a heater)?

Perhaps I should just go south.

Well, until the next time ..please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #6

The heater was on when I woke up this morning. I am not sure that I care for that. More summer is needed. There just was not enough fishing, boating, or cooking out. There is still a bunch of that to come, but it is colder and something isn't quite right with cooking out while wearing a jacket.

I believe there is gonna be a pitcher of sangria made in the next week or so. Adam and I have talked about getting together and drinking a few...maybe ribs or pizza also. Sounds like a good time to be had by all.

Todays reflection centers around life. You know, that thing we are all involved in. The daily activity of just being. The happiness, joy, and peace that I have found seems to grow almost daily. The peace I have found in my job. The feelings inside of me that are derived from me growing closer to God. The little things that make me smile and most of the time the big things are just shrugged off. Life continues to be good.

I have danced in the rain and I have played in the snow. I wanna do it again.

Well, until the next time, please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #5

What just happened? Another week of life has slipped past us. Everything seems to have gone on in a big blinding flash of fast. It was all so quick I am not sure I caught it all. So many changes...Kenny and his girlfriend getting along fantabulously. Travis and his girlfriend melding together well. Employment has been made almost enjoyable, seems as if there is a manager that knows how to manage. The VA will probably fire him for being good at his job.

The sun is shining thru the back door. I can hear the birds singing around my little pond. I would be willing to bet that there is a neighborhood cat close by. Can't blame them for wanting their food to take a bath before they eat it.

Life seems to be settling into that pre winter calm. Things are flowing as they should be and the bills are getting paid. Kinda makes me wonder whats gonna happen next...

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills.

Saturday Morning Reflection #4

This week has gone by so fast. The weather is changing and the rain keeps coming down. I guess the home grown tomato season is over. Sad, but there is always next year.

This morning I am not very reflective. My thoughts seems to be arranging everything in black and white with no grey areas. I am not going to whine on about how lucky I am to just be alive or how great the world is. Everything is fine in my life and it just makes me happy.

Decisions I have made for(and about) me are slowly coming into effect. I am striving to improve me in several areas. I think I have the attitude part down pat. Now, just need to work on my laziness. We shall see how that goes.

Well, until the next time please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #3

Good morning everyone...it is time for some Saturday morning reflection. Today's reflection starts with a look at the past week. What an interesting week it was. The biggest lesson learned is that ghosts of the past can, and will, haunt us in the future. That was my lesson..at least I believe it to be so. Let me just say this...LESSON LEARNED.

Fall is in the air and it feels good. The coffee always seems to taste better on the cool mornings and my coffee has been tasting good. Looking forward to TROUT STOCKINGS to begin in the local lakes. Nothing like some good fresh caught trout.

Might have to take some time to run up and visit my brother and sister. A big drunk with those two might do me some good. Never can tell.

MARSHALL football game today. I will be attending. Diane is going with me. Gonna be a blast.

The last (and most important item)...guess who is gonna be the FRESHMAN HOMECOMING ATTENDANT at FAIRLAND this year. Yes, it is my very own LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills.

This Weekend

The Weekend is upon us. All we have left to do is make it through a Friday. Some of us (me) won't be going back to work until wednesday. No, its not surgery and they are not putting me in a nursing home. I am heading NORTH to do some fishing. Got a hotel...got fishing reservations...got a plan. It will be much fun. Perhaps there will be pictures when I return. Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills.

Saturday Morning Reflection #2

When I began this blog (sometime back) the original intent was to build some "online income." I have built some...There have been several people use the links I have posted and it has made a few dollars. I also see several dollars from the Google Adsense ads(thanks to everyone that has used that service). The Blog has now become more therapeutic. I have also discovered that it helps me to maintain contact with various people as they drift into and out of my life.

I want to thank all of the people that read this...and then remember to make contact with me.I appreciate everyone that has taken advantage of the links that have been posted and the messages received from people as they read about the happenings in my life.

My reflection for this morning centers around birds. My neighbor has several bird feeders up, which attract a huge amount of birds. These birds have decided that my decorative pond is their very own private drinking fountain. I have spent much time reflecting on "things" as I watch these birds. You can actually begin to notice the little ins and outs of bird society, from which bird is in charge all the way to who is feeding who.

Today, Kammi and I are going to the Marshall football game (GO HERD!!!). The Herd should put one in the win column.

Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills.
