Sir BUDDY:  My sidekick and assistant  I wrote this a number of years ago. Thankfully, I can capture these thoughts and moods as they are dispersed into the universe, hoping optimistically, it can help others.

I really haven't imparted that much advice over the years, if anything, sharing that as you enter your 50s, you are charting a new course in life.  No differently than the cliff to leap beyond becomes a metaphor for being at the tip toe point  before you jump :: into a relationship, a new job, a difficult decision, financial security. I haven't written on this blog for quite some time:  I've been dabbling (cheating on this blog) with creating my own domain website - more than once with different providers (I will write about later), sidestepping to Wordpress (which turned out to be less blogger friendly than anticipa...

EXASPERATION DESPERATION MOMENTS OF DEPRESSION SPIKES IN ANXIETY are all symptomatic of an employee attempting to adjust to a brutal culture, more military than wellness bent.  MENTAL HEALTH Is an increasing crisis that is rising to the top of society's concerns, bias, alienation, bullying cause this to rise. COMPANIES MUST RISE UP Out of compassion, recognition not by the decrease in productivity, but extreme measures in which to communicate that any form of racism (in any form by way of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, origin or otherwise) even reversed racism:  bias against white skin.  REVERSE DISCRIMINATION is rampant but silent.  The media's credibility is at an alltime low.  Charges of fake news or media focus on despair and violence, of which ratings can be capitalized on and more advertising revenue raised. HOW THE GOVERNMENT LIES There is a phenomenal episode or documentary of HBO (who is not just Game of Thrones conte...

Well, if you happen to have a family that includes me (oh dear) a stepdaughter (oh my) and a diva daughter (sigh) ....... then there is the youngest daughter whom I never seem to get into spats with at all.  How is this possible?   Heck, find my THISnTHAT playlist on iTUNES.  I'm just playing SHUFFLE and amazed at what a selection.  Sometimes we even surprise ourselves eh? ...

A collection of spring poems   flowered  by some of the greatest word artists. Accompanied by images with wise words to bring spring forward to our minds:  blooming optimism, renewal, inspiration and beauty. Spring by William Blake  Sound the flute! Now it’s mute. Birds delight Day and night; Nightingale In the dale, Lark in sky, Merrily, Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year. Little boy, Full of joy; Little girl, Sweet and small; Cock does crow, So do you; Merry voice, Infant noise, Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year. Little lamb, Here I am; Come and lick My white neck; Let me pull Your soft wool; Let me kiss Your soft face; Merrily, merrily, we welcome in the year .
