Living life with a chronic illness is definitely not easy. But I do my best to push through all the barriers this illness puts in front of me! In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!

Retired from the University of Texas and too old to play soccer anymore. Now, in the twilight of his years, time is spent writing in this blog, hiking and exploring Texas Parks, photography, working out, gardening and tending to the five ponds he built .
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
Just lose yourself this little while, in poetry, books, art and smile! :)

I’ve been trying to pause before saying the word, even in something innocuous as “oh, I hate that.” Do I really “hate” that? I’ve tried to turn that into a blog post a few times, but I’ve never been able to get it right.

Hah! You took the words right out of my mouth….easier said than done! Why is it easier to hate someone than to like them sometimes? Probably because with some people we have to work at finding their redeeming qualities..,.their “good” side, and we’re too lazy to do the work. Our loss.
