He was only with us about a month. It was so nice to have him around though.
He loved to laugh, had a nice tone, brought us chocolate and other goodies.
Someday I will travel to Bali
We have a new coworker now from Cyprus that will be with us until this summer.
He is really nice too. It's great to work somewhere that has a nice diverse group of people.
I hope your job is like that. For you younger folks it's a good reason to go on to college. I suppose that's not a requirement though, but for most of us it's one way to increase our options. A technical school, community college, 2 year degree, military or on the job training work too.
So what's up with you?
Excited for Selection Sunday? Getting ready to fill out your bracket for the NCAA basketball tournament?
Baseball is starting to get underway. NBA basketball is getting pretty boring. Hockey players are banging around.
We are getting more and more light so I think I will start getting out of my recliner and on my bicycle and kayak.
I used to ride in the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Ride before I put on this extra poundage watching TV and eating low-fat food. I will get back in trim shape again.
I have an ocean going kayak I use it to bump around in some estuaries near my home
I'm reading this book now Amazon.com: Books: Life of Pi
What I've read so far is a story of an Indian boy who decides to be a Muslim, Hindu and Christian in his desire to love God.
Here's a quote from the book Life of Pi,
"My greatest wish--other than salvation--was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One that I could read again and again, with new eyes and fresh understanding each time."
I think we all have that sort of never-ending story that we share with others by talking and writing. The more we listen the more we understand. The more we understand the more we realize our human similarities that make this world a place we are all in together. Leading us to that valley beyond the next where we can all live in peace
For The Children
Listening requires some quiet space internally and external. We start from the inside out and take some nice deep relaxing breaths and learn ways to quiet our mind....
Breathing and Relaxation Techniques
I hope we can truly listen to some one or some thing today.
May your Sunday be peaceful, relaxing and refreshing.

Depending on your frame of mind and age maybe you can have this kind of a Jack day.
"Hey Jack Kerouac" from the album "In My Tribe" by the Musical Group - "10000 Maniacs"
Lyrics By: "Robert Buck/Natalie Merchant"
Hey Jack Kerouac, I think of your mother
and the tears she cried, she cried for none other
than her little boy lost in our little world that hated
and that dared to drag him down. Her little boy courageous
who chose his words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood.
Hip flask slinging madman, steaming cafe flirts,
they all spoke through you.
Hey Jack, now for the tricky part,
when you were the brightest star who were the shadows?
Of the San Francisco beat boys you were the favorite.
Now they sit and rattle their bones and think of their blood stoned days.
You chose your words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood.
The hip flask slinging madman, steaming cafe flirts,
nights in Chinatown howling at night.
Allen baby, why so jaded?
Have the boys all grown up and their beauty faded?
Billy, what a saint they've made you,
just like Mary down in Mexico on All Souls' Day.
You chose your words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood.
Cool junk booting madmen, street minded girls
in Harlem howling at night.
What a tear stained shock of the world,
you've gone away without saying goodbye.
On The Road...baby...yeah!
