MIND

*Maybe it’s painting for you too. What can you do creatively to put down any agitation of your heart?

“Got my own mind, I wanna make my own decisions. When it has to do with my life, my life, I wanna be the one in control.”

*Live life by your standards, no one else’s – and listen to Janet – Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty.

What are the standards that you live your life by?

MONEY

Tori Spelling 1973

“It’s no mystery why I have money problems. I grew up rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. I never knew anything else. Even when I try to embrace a simpler lifestyle, I can’t seem to let go of my expensive tastes. Even when my tastes aren’t fancy, they’re still costly,”

*Today is the day to focus on a simpler lifestyle. Let go of one expensive taste.

What is one thing that you can eliminate forever, starting today?

NATIONAL BARBECUE DAY – May 16th is National Barbecue Day

“So whether it’s the extra large slice of watermelon, or we make a big old jug of lemonade in the backyard, peach pie, or we have icky-sticky awesome BBQ ribs, to me, warm weather lends itself to open fire-cooking.”

*On National Barbecue Day, have friends over for some open fire cooking. Make sure to serve them watermelon, lemonade, peach pie, and icky-sticky awesome BBQ ribs.

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
