In January, I told myself that I would try to read 26 books in 2025. A book every two weeks. I haven’t read any yet. Now, that I’ve started my personal New Year, I figured that I should try to get moving on that goal. The thing is that “reading 26 books” or “reading a…
Another year sped by. Last year, we celebrated my birthday in Fort St. John at Keaton and Kate’s place. This year, it’s just Deb and me. But we were at Caileigh and Chris’ place last weekend. And that was my real birthday present. Spending time with my immediate family. The world is a very different…
I’ve added a couple of Countdown indicators to my Momentum dashboard. To keep me focused. The background photos may change, but the march of time will continue. Reminding me… I’ve got a few things coming up in the next little while. All of them need some consistent work. Little by little. Day by day. It’s…
With the new year barely begun, I thought it was time to ramp up my motivation. And the thing that came to mind was that I needed some Zig Ziglar. Every now and then, I like to listen to Zig’s old lectures. I remembered that I had an audio book of his. So, I went…
Last year, I signed up for this year’s Around the Bay Road Race. Before I ran the 2024 one. Talk about optimism! And now, I’m realizing that it’s only two months away! Last year, I wasn’t consistent with my training. I started late. And I didn’t do much of it. This time, I’ve been running…
December was a “step back” month. To be fair, it usually is. For the last few years, I’ve gained weight in December. It’s a tough month to “be good”. Parties. Celebrations. Traditional foods. Late nights. Drinking. You get the picture. The last couple of years, I gained more than 3 pounds in December. This year,…
New Year’s Eve was like Christmas Eve. It was just Deb and me, this year. We briefly entertained the idea of going out for New Year’s Eve at the beginning of the month. Our friend Shari was going to be performing at a New Year’s Eve bash. Unfortunately, people like us didn’t sign up soon…
The last couple of months have been stumbles for me. In terms of blog posting. November was bad enough. I only did about half the posts that I should have. And December was worse! I thought I’d catch up on my posting since most of my commitments were finishing up at the beginning of the…
Can we do it all? All the things we want to do? All the things we want to try? No. Obviously. There’s not enough time in the day. But… We can do more than we settle for. This December has not been productive for me. I’ve been slacking off with my blog posting. I’ve got…
It’s hard to believe that we’re a third of the way through the month already. And I’m falling behind in my routines. Blogging. Running. Writing. What’s happening? November was busy. But I had a routine to keep me focused. I worked on my lines. I worked on my music. The beginning of December marked the…
