Finding Faith and Life In Water

Water is something that cleanses and renews. From water life begins anew. Baptism in water can bring people to a relationship with God. I find peace in water in a place like my parish. Water is holy.

A Ramble About The New Things

Something about new things. Whether it be new clothes, new toys, new relationships, new homes…that sort of thing. There are many of us seeking new opportunities and perhaps a new life altogether. It’s akin to having a new world to seek all these things in. It’s important to know that with the new means leaving behind the old. Not easy if you ask me. It’s easier to start from a clean slate, from a new place. and a new perspective. The people in our lives that have come before and have left this world sought new things too. What does this mean of the older things? Everything old can be made new again and you can teach a old dog a new trick if given the chance.

Time To Fall Back To Standard Time #fallback

Fall-Daylight-Savings

Most of America will be going back to standard time tomorrow. That means they will set their clocks back one hour before going to bed tonight and getting an extra hour of sleep. Don’t forget my friends to do this before turning in for the night. While you are at it check your smoke alarm batteries and other devices too.

A Real Close Look At My Eyes

This is an extreme close-up of my eyes. I went to the optometrist tonight where I’m getting new glasses that will help me see better doing work on the computer. Deep in my eyes I have a couple of “freckles” just like my grandmother did.

The inside of ones eyes looks like the expansive universe in some sort of way.

Me and my new frames that look like my previous few pairs. I go for the 50s retro look.

Another Highly Productive Month

Despite my energy level I’m still productive at work. What I do requires enthusiasm and energy and it takes a lot of energy which is in short supply with me. I am close to 3000 appointments for the year which is cool.

I’m Not A Lot Of Fun At The Moment

I’m not a lot of fun to be with right now being tired all the time. Going to an endocrinologist to help with some things. Hoping to regain my moxie sometime soon.
