Yes, I Could Drink

Dear Readers, Yes, I could drink because of the invasion of Ukraine. But I won't. Would drinking help the people? The Ukrainian army? When I look back at all the world problems, all of my loved ones problems, or all of my personal problems, none of them were made better by drinking. I can't escape … Continue reading Yes, I Could Drink →

Unenforceable Rules

New York City

Widening My World

Dear Readers, Just a quick update on my word of the year, "challenge". It's only been six days, but writing this helps me keep accountable. I have just started a good book on changing habits, and so far it's been one of the best ones I've read. It's called Atomic Habits, by James Clear. One … Continue reading Widening My World →

I’ll Take Mine Plain, Please!

Photo by Mr. UT Dear Readers, At my last writing meet-up group, we wrote on the word "plain". I thought of the definition of plain as, simple or ordinary. I struggled with this word for some reason. Maybe it was because I only had about 3 hours of sleep, and not enough coffee! Plain sounds … Continue reading I’ll Take Mine Plain, Please! →
