It’s our last day here, ‘here’ being Shuswap Provincial Park. I arose to a beautiful sunny day, took care of some business and made my morning coffee. Instant in this case as I’m out of ground. I gathered my stuff and stepped outside with my fresh cup of Joe. What did I encounter when I …
About a week or 10 days ago I went into the bank to sign some papers for a safety deposit box. I had a box prior to this in another financial institution but my long range plan is to move most of my financial stuff into one place. So I signed the papers, got the …
Tis the mantra of the day, or so it seems to me, that the goal is to live one day at a time and live it fully. Notice the day, experience each moment, “be” in the present. This doesn’t fall on deaf ears. I know this, I believe this, it doesn’t mean I always do …

You know I don’t feel sick but perhaps, and this is likely so, that is the nature of the illness. That is why people stop taking meds, they feel ok and believe they are now well and no longer require them. The same applies to schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. I feel ok but must …
I’m slipping on my maintaining the blog. While we were off camping I didn’t journal, only blogged a couple times. I feel “blocked”, and my moods is quite stable where I don’t feel like I have anything to contribute. This is likely a good thing thought, don’t you think? I still feel normal, whatever that …
Well I arrived at the campsite about 3 hours ago and promptly struggled somewhat getting into my site. I passed it as I drove down the park road, expecting it to be next on the right past 102, wrong. The even numbers were not only on the right, they were also on the left. Backing up …
