What Happens in a Moment?



What happens in a moment?



The Rains Come from the beach.
The water hits my pane of glass, and I wake up from a sound sleep in peace.
The idea of dinner, and cooking and friends.
The sunshine returns with a calmness on the narrow Middle River once again.



Coffee and an awakened sense of being.
Calm from a peace and a realization of contentment.
The sun rising over the horizon on the beach.
The sun setting over the Gulf.




A dream, of new places and friends
A death, of notoriety of fame.
A life, human, a birth of a new special human.
A mystery, that every life possesses.




A moment, a breath that brings in an awareness
A moment, that brings a tear to my eyes.
A moment, to recognize love and its gifts
A moment, to be grateful for being human.




Now a moment is a memory to be savored.

Celebrating my Mom!

Celebrating my Mom on Mother's Day! 2025 Mother's Day Update! How lucky am I! How many 60-year-olds can brag to family and friends that they spent the previous week enjoying the week with their mother?  Whether it was lunch out, the quick haircut, or the manicure she is still smiling over,  we had a great week. One of my joys, when I visit  Savannah,  is my 4 PM  break.  I stay near her assisted living center, and go over to find out how her day is going, and help her get to dinner.  It is always a good conversation with joy,  and many times with laughter. Also, you have not spent a Friday right  unless you have spent happy hour at Buckingham South in the afternoon.  Between the snacks, music,  and wine that Mom doesn't drink, it is quite a riot! 2023 Update for Mother's Day! It is Mother’s Day 2023… I wrote this a few years ago to share my love and admiration for my mom. This last year has reminded me more of how amazing and stro...

Saturday Reflections: Musings on Life, Television, and Elections

Image
A few random thoughts on a Saturday morning? I appreciate The Bear TV Show and understand the awards, but I don’t like watching it and don’t see any contradiction. In college, I knew how to get an A, and I assume I knew how to get an F, but I didn’t know how to differentiate effort to get a B or C.  This has continued in my work life; I am either all in, or I feel like I am failing. This election year is more stressful than at any point in my lifetime. I don’t understand why the Democrats can’t get behind their candidates as much as the Republicans. I don’t color my hair.  I appreciate being bald, as I don't spend time worrying about my hair. We have had a relatively cool July in Longview; I assume Mother Nature’s payback in August will not be pleasant. People assume I am an introvert.  Not necessarily. I just enjoy my own company.  This is one reason I need my early morning walks alone.  As I age, I realize that change is good; it is desired for me, but trying ...

I can’t sit here this morning, quietly, after all!

Image
It isn't a time to sit here quietly. We in the USA are challenged by a presidential race between two men, one 78 and the other 81.  One who has served his country and been part of the political scene since 1972.   During many of those years, he was a senator. He became Obama’s vice president for two terms. He is campaigning and fighting to be reelected president of the world's most powerful country, militarily and economically. Thursday night, he had a bad night in a debate. His opponent looked good but lied about his accomplishments and Biden. As Biden said, it is hard to debate a Liar. But, yes, maybe he is 81 and had a bad night. That doesn’t negate his presidency's accomplishments in helping us recover from the pandemic. He passed bills that will lead to infrastructure improvements that are sorely needed in this country. He has led the effort to cap insulin costs so people don’t have to choose between insulin and food.   He also has a good cabinet of leaders and ...
