You people

https://www.facebook.com/politikalmemes/videos/426624268263195/   You people who come here... to read a blog listen up. I have something to say. I don't watch hockey. I'm not sure whether that qualifies or disqualifies me from making a statement on the latest...

#Best Life Ever.

#Best Life Ever.

Trending as of late is a catchy hashtag notion of doing the activities that you love and fulfilling the desires you've stashed away in your heart. Don't deny yourself. Life is truly too short to abstain from anything. You wouldn't want to lose out on all life has to...

Sunshine After The Rain

Sunshine After The Rain

Some mornings I sit and stare out the window at nothing and let my mind wander. Sometimes I’m instantly warmed by the vision I see. It's easy when the sun is shining, its rays warming me through the window. Other mornings, there’s an overcast sky and I see the dread...

The Big Bounce

The Big Bounce

Back a number of years ago when I was working as a counsellor, terms like resiliency and support network were huge buzz words or phrases.  For all I know, they are still popular phrases that counsellors use. In fact, every profession seems to have pet terms and jargon...

The Deep Dark Hole

For a couple of months now I have been feeling like I'm falling into a deep dark hole. There was a feeling of optimism and I was on a real strong trajectory forward before Christmas with steady daily progress and the return of what had been lost. And then the doctor...

The Impenetrable Fortress

Whether it was a rainy day or too cold to go outside or just kids playing around, there is a right of passage for every kid to go through. I am talking about making blanket forts inside their rooms or dragging all of the bedding stuff out to the living room furniture...

Crickets Here

Sometimes I get asked why I share the things I do about my stroke. I've even been told that I am brave for sharing such private information. I don't think that bravery is exactly how I would see things. Bravery is a different animal altogether...or at least it seems...

Self Made Man

Self Made Man

It may shock some of you to know that I don't perceive myself as a self made man. I know, I know, you could all swear to the fact that I'm responsible for the things I eat, the car accidents I've had (all two - a long time ago), the growing Molson muscle I have worked...

“You are free in our time to say that God does not exist; you are free to say that he exists and is evil; you are free to say like Renan that he would like to exist if He could. You may talk of God as a metaphor or a mystification. You may water Him down with gallons of long words, or boil Him to the rags of metaphysics. And it is not merely that nobody punishes, but nobody protest. But if you speak of God as a fact, as a thing like a tiger, as a reason for changing one’s conduct, then the modern world will stop you somehow if it can. We are long past talking about whether an unbeliever should be punished for being irreverent. It is now thought irreverent to be a believer .”
G.K. Chesterton
