My wife, parents, and sister have been constant inspirations. They have encouraged me too. I am also inspired by those in the culture who seek to make life better for as many people as possible. People who I have come across online have given me hope. Lately people in health care have amazed me. Nurses, nurse assistants, rehabilitation specialists, doctors, and more have shown me great skill and ability to heal and help people get back to where they were before. Thanks to all who have inspired me to want to be better and do more myself.

Daily Prompt – Mastering A Skill
Daily writing prompt
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why?
I have been a caregiver to my wife, who had emergency surgery in April to clear a severe infection that could have been fatal. Part of that caregiving is wound care. I received a crash course in taking care of her significant surgical wounds before she left her rehabilitation hospital on May 9th. Since then I have practiced the art of applying gauze, pads, creams, saline, and other things to help her heal. So in a sense I have mastered that skill as much as an amateur nurse can.
Daily Prompt – My Favorite Meme
I love the Minions from Despicable Me. Any meme with them on it is fun. This one is about Mondays, which I always need psyching up for. So, yay for Minion memes.
Daily Prompt – Fear & Self Doubt
I am an anxious person by nature. Self-doubt is something I have in abundance. Perhaps it’s a matter of confidence. I take Lexapro to help with all of that. Fear of failure and disappointing people comes from wanting to please others. I try to do my best and hope its good enough.
Daily Prompt – Share Your World – April 13, 2026 – About Music
This blog prompt is about music which sounds like fun.
- Do you play a musical instrument? – No. But I have played hand bells in the past.
- Is there an instrument you wish you could play? I would love to be able to play bass guitar.
- Can you read music? I don’t read music, but I know the difference in bass and treble clef. I do know there are different sorts of notes such as whole and quarter notes.
- Do you have a favourite memory that involves music? I have been to concerts and enjoy live music.
Daily Prompt – Favorite Restaurant
This question is tough because I cannot pin one restaurant down. I am a big mom-and-pop restaurant type of guy. Diners are my favorite places to eat because most of them serve breakfast all day long. However, I do like ethnic places like Chinese, Thai, Indian and Japanese. Lately I have been finding out more about Korean. I like food that is seasoned but not spicy so that is a consideration. There are several places I enjoy around my city that serve good food at good prices.
