Happy Monday morning, all, Let's take a quick look ahead at the coming week. Today, I get to hear the author of my favorite book of 2022 speak at my company. I need to connect with the company fixing my fence, as they stated this was the week they would finally be able to start… Continue reading Week ahead – 01/23/23

Wishing Away Today

Sometimes it can be so hard not to count the days away. I don't mind my job. Most days, it is rewarding, and I enjoy the people I work with. I like figuring things out and helping people. However, like most people, I would still rather not be working than working. For this reason, I… Continue reading Wishing Away Today

Empathize

January 17, 2023 SharpenLeave a comment

I am sitting here and enjoying the last hour of my last day off before my vacation in April. I just got done watching the new Avatar movie. My mind is a bit all over the place, but I thought I would try to capture some of my thoughts on the white screen. I anticipated… Continue reading Empathize

Good Monday morning! Another whole week ahead. Let's take a look at my week. Today, work, of course; after work, I have to run a few errands and begin reviewing this week's Statistics assignment.

Thinking About Death

January 7, 2023 SharpenLeave a comment

How often do you actively think about aging and/or dying? I think about it a lot. Then, I wonder if I think about it too much or if others think about it too little? Is there a benefit to thinking about it? Does it change how I live my life? Scientists say we are the… Continue reading Thinking About Death

Double Edged Sword

January 5, 2023January 5, 2023 SharpenLeave a comment

Two memes posted on Facebook in the last few weeks had me thinking. The first meme was about how few understand the beauty of living alone. The second was that it was not natural for the amount of fury they felt when someone was simultaneously in the kitchen with them. Both memes made me realize… Continue reading Double Edged Sword

Transient

Each morning, when she awakens in her bed. Her first thought is of her furry companion, who should be somewhere to the left of her, burrowed in the covers, her loyal friend, Charlie. She reaches across to find him in the darkness and pats him gently to alert him to the start of the day.… Continue reading Transient

Habits

Day 3 of the new year. As I have already mentioned, my focus this year is on forming better habits. I've been reading and studying habits since last year. I've always found behaviorism fascinating: our brains are machines and can be trained. We may be more sophisticated than dogs, but we can be trained just… Continue reading Habits

Break Time Blues

January 3, 2023 SharpenLeave a comment

Reflecting on my month out of school left me insignificantly pleased. It was nice to not think about homework. I was either exhausted or depressed or perhaps both. I did little outside of binging various television series and movies on copious apps.The holidays' preparations and "celebration" felt like just going through the motions. I had… Continue reading Break Time Blues

Reflection and Forward Thinking

January 1, 2023 SharpenLeave a comment

The topic for the meeting last night was the tools used most in 2022 for our recovery and the tools we hope to use more in 2023. I struggled to think about the tools I successfully deployed in 2022. However, that is in part because I am hard on myself. What I managed to get… Continue reading Reflection and Forward Thinking
