Thank Goodness It’s Friday….8/30/13

Thank Goodness it’s Friday! So last night was one of my favorite nights of the year…the return of college football!!  To all you non sports fans, you are missing a truly amazing part of life!  To all you pro football fans, you just don’t get it.  College football is more than a game.  It is […]

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday…8/29/13

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! I am always intrigued by those who are unwilling to try something new. Those who don’t explore, who don’t look for new ways to perform mundane tasks, those who are just stuck.  Why do we let ourselves get there and why would we ever want to stay there?  There are countless […]

Thank Goodness It”s Wednesday…8/28/13

Thank Goodness It”s Wednesday! I have written about and know from my own life that this is absolutely true: we are incredibly too busy as a society.  There are a thousand reasons we could give for our rapid lifestyles….suburban growth leading to commuting, staff cuts leading to more work hours, the state of helicopter parenting, […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…8/27/13

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! So I missed posting Friday and yesterday as I was traveling back and forth to California for the board meeting of a national group I am a part of.  It was a long, but very good trip. The meeting were held at Disneyland in Southern California, so you can imagine that the hotel was great, […]

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday….8/22/13

I know that I often hit on the topic of fear, but it is so relevant to our lives.  Fear leads most men, whether they want to admit it or not.  Often, our other emotions are all really rooted in fear.  Anger, confusion, sadness, doubt….all can almost always find their root in fear. That is […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday….8/21/13

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! I woke up late this morning.  My alarm didn’t go off for some reason (reminder: check for iPhone alarm issues).  So when you wake up late, your first instinct (besides continuing to sleep) is to get up, rush around, skip steps, rearrange your schedule, do anything you can to “get back […]

Thank goodness It’s Monday…8/19/13

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! I spent the weekend moving my oldest son to college.  An emotional time to say the least.  But I think the “thing” that consumes me most, is my hope that he understands and accepts the challenge to put in the hard work now (both in school and baseball) in order to […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday…8/16/13

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! Sorry I missed a post yesterday.  We were getting everything ready and moving the last pieces of my son’s apartment as he goes off to college.  Today is the day we “let him go”.  While I am sure it will be an emotional time, it will be definitely be a very […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday….8/14/13

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! I believe that every person has great ideas.  The key is to let them out.  We often fear our ideas.  We fear them failing.  We fear them succeeding.  We fear change.  We must get past that and realize we all have good ideas.  Not all will succeed.  Not all may be needed.  But […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…8/13/13

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! Anytime you start something new…school, job, relationship, lifestyle change (i,e diet)…there is going to be fear.  Unfortunately for most people, no matter how hard we may try or how focused we try and make ourselves, fear always seems to creep in.  And when fear creeps in, we often fail to achieve […]
