Stress Dust The pull cord on one of my window blinds broke. When I took the blind down, I was amazed to see how much dust had crept into that tiny space between the top of the blind and the window frame. It is kind of like how stress and worry sneak into our lives. […]
Relax your way to success

Relax your way to success We were tossing a frisbee last night and – my daughter’s tossing has room for improvement. She was muscling up and trying too hard rather than letting aerodynamics do its job. From my limited golf experience, I know that muscling up and trying too hard pretty much guarantees a shank. […]
Throwing ice cubes into the ocean

Throwing ice cubes into the ocean A couple of weeks ago, we were snorkeling in the Caribbean. If someone had thrown ice cubes into the delightful warm water around me, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Roses and Volleyballs It has been unseasonably warm here this February. My volleyball friends and I have taken advantage of this and have played quite a bit of sand doubles.
