Some days I wake up and know just what I need to write about today. Be it positive or negative, it comes to me during that in-between time of being in the blissful world of dreams and this world of reality. The last couple of weeks have been a struggle. I’ve written some things that […]

Day 484- Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown
At Uncle Jack’s memorial service it came up again. Our family legacy. Going back to Pop (Dad’s father) and even his parents who were both Methodist ministers, our family has always had a penchant for service in both a formal and informal capacity. The same on my mother’s side. It’s just expected. It’s part of […]
Day 483- 26 Years Later
26 years ago today was a beautiful late fall day, at least in Lexington, KY. 26 years ago today Tywana and I pledged our love for each other in front of family and friends until “death do us part”. At the time I had no idea how long that would be. I always had this feeling […]
Day 481- Living Legacy
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band Today is the day of Uncle […]
Day 478- 16 Candles
A couple of nights ago we went to The Funny Bone to see a demonstration with two mediums. We sat at the table with a couple and when we were asked who were hoping to hear from, Tywana said, of course, Shayna, our 15 year old who passed 16 months ago. 16 months. Really? The […]

Day 469- Loving The World Again
Today is a beautiful day weather-wise. It’s mid-fall and it’s a sunny day. It’s in the lower 50s for my morning walk and it’s supposed to be 80º this afternoon. The Buckeyes won last night in an overtime nailbiter against Wisconsin. The Bengals are on TV this afternoon. At church, we are having musical guests, […]
Day 468- All The World’s Indeed A Stage
Today I hear from my friend whose friend passed 2-½ weeks ago. Since then she has been desperate for a sign from him. She and I chat often. I send her Podcasts, recommend books, recommend YouTube videos and give her whatever wisdom/knowledge I’ve accumulated along the way. Anything to ease her pain, to give her […]
Day 467- Winter Is Coming
I wake up today and it’s pitch dark. Just a few weeks ago when I left the bedroom in the morning, I would see the sun streaming in from our East facing foyer window and hitting Shayna’s picture in the foyer. But, now it’s totally dark when I leave the bedroom in the morning. I […]
Day 464- Our Days Are Like A Passing Shadow
Psalms 144:4; “Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.” There was a time when this verse would have been depressing for me as I imagine it is for most people. When I identified with my body and this life, I wanted that life to be as long as possible. The […]
