I forgot my journal today, the paper version, and I must say it’s put me into a bit of a twist. Why does this keep happening? We are at Bear Creek Park, just across the lake from Kelowna, and finishing off this leg of our camping trip. This may be the last camping we do …
I’ve been going through withdrawal lately (always thought it was spelled “withdrawl” until spell check corrected me). I’m not talking the chemical kind of withdraw’a’l, I’m referring to the emotional and intellectual kind. The blog withdrawal kind. I need a fix. I try to write but my words seem perfunctory. I blather on, spitting words …
Pay attention, to the attention. A catchy phrase if I do say so myself. I’ve taken to journalling for/to each of my grandkids, an idea that came up from a YouTube video I inadvertently came across one night. In the video, which was oriented toward journals, the creator mentioned he has kept journals for each …
Ever have one of those days where you seem to be just a little out of phase with the rest of humanity, where the best laid plans seem to go astray? A day where after breakfast you put the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge. I’m experiencing that today. It’s seems …
I began writing in my paper journal again, if 2 days in a row constitutes ‘again’. Like this blog, and my entries into it, I have been writing somewhat sporadically in my journal(s) of late.

Why do we camp, emphasis on DO as in why DO we camp? I thought I knew the answer but like so many things now I’m doubting what I do and don’t know. I think I’m in a funk, I’m “funking”, and while it’s not a terminal condition it is one that is nevertheless somewhat …
I have heard that when struggling for words, when laboring for a topic, it can be helpful to first put down one word on the page. After that initial beginning place a second word, then another, and again until your first sentence is complete. Follow the same pattern to compose your second sentence, then move …
I’ve been posting for about a year now and I wonder…Is it time to come out of the closet, to be an open book? Before you jump to conclusions I should elaborate. This morning before writing in my journal, after checking emails and having breakfast etc., etc., I watched one of the Ted Talks called …
Although the title suggests a certain redundant thinking it actually captures exactly what I am thinking, I am Grateful….that I can be grateful. Writing my morning pages this morning I finished by jotting down the things in my life I am grateful for. I do this frequently and where the items on the list are …
Not being as organized as I could be perhaps I did not make it to my journal this morning. I may write in it later but for now this will have to suffice. After a quick breakfast and some endearing words to my wife I loaded up the truck and went off to help a …
