Summer is my favorite time of year. I never complain about the heat, and I enjoy meeting the visitors who come to enjoy the spectacular beauty of our area. While on my morning beach run or walk, I see many of the same people, who, like me, love the peace and beauty of the dawn. [...]

This July is a big month for me. On the 13th, I will turn 50. Yes, my friends, it’s a big birthday! For the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about this milestone and how I feel about it. And, I’ve come to the conclusion that I really am getting better, in most [...]

Lately I’ve found that gratitude is a very powerful way to improve my life. Upon the suggestion of a friend I started keeping a gratitude journal, and every day I write at least five things that I’m grateful for. At first, it was really hard to do, but gradually I’ve come to look forward to [...]
