My mother always said, “It’s a long way from your heart.” Of course she … Continue reading Words of Wisdom
The Laughing Heart
I don’t know where I first saw this poem or who sent it to me, but I have it printed out and framed in my apartment and yesterday, I stopped to read it and it hit me once again how great it was and why I found it so inspiring.

Keep Your Head Up
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmrOB_q3tjo] I had a crappy day today. It didn’t start out that way. I didn’t wake up late or arrive late to work, but circumstances that I cannot control turned the day into crappy. I left working feeling beaten down, wanting to cry, wanting to drown my day in a bottle of wine, and ignoring the world. I got in the car and Katy … Continue reading Keep Your Head Up

Let’s Go Red Wings
Autographed 2003 Red Wings Jersey I’m a huge hockey fan. Duh, right? Well, a dear friend of mine who is also a hockey fan and works in hockey kindly gave me this jersey tonight. He is also a Red Wings fan. I think he’s insane for giving it to me and I hope he has one as well. If he doesn’t, then I thank him … Continue reading Let’s Go Red Wings
A Good Day
Today wasn’t all good. There was some bad, but you know what, life is too short to be bitter, to be angry, and to dwell on the bad parts of my day. Today was a good day. At Bloom, the customer service agent at the main desk, was smiling, happy, and because she was smiling and happy, so was I. I was already in a … Continue reading A Good Day
