In my office I work with a young kid. Guess he is what’s called the generation Z group. With him I notice something I really have not noticed with millennials and boomers on back. I notice a disconnect with things from my childhood to his. I find it unsettling in a way. From entertainment and … Continue reading Generational gap

Time
Lately I have been finding that mentally I feel like I am still in my 30’s with lots of time for life plans. Then I either stop and think about my actual age, or I’m carded, for what seems almost anything now, and it hits me like a ton of bricks. I’m moving along in … Continue reading Time
I’m still here
Sorry I haven’t shared a post recently but to be honest I didn’t feel like there was anything I wanted to share with the world that was important enough for the blog.

100 Days
Today starts 100 days since I have smoked a cigarette. Frankly, I am amazed that I have reached this point. I had expected a hard fight and relapse from stressful situations. Except in the beginning where I would equate certain activities with smoking, it hasn’t been that hard on me physically. It was mostly mental … Continue reading 100 Days
In the end.
Ever wonder where people end up in the end? Those who step on and over others to get a head? Those who have to accumulate all the material things in the world for themselves? This isn’t all but the ones who wouldn’t lift a finger to help someone less fortunate? This is where we all … Continue reading In the end.
