When one is asleep, some never want to wake up.I’ll resist/fight it.“I don’t wanna wake up!”However once awake, I don’t want to go back to sleep. In fact, I’ll do whatever I can to be even more awake (drink coffee, etc).The same is true of conscious awareness of self.Or so they say…

How I have it is, where I’m at in life right here and right now, and my “current situation in life” is a culmination of all the decisions I have made in the past. Only when I take ownership of my decisions (not my “reasons”) do I have any control over the direction of my…

Awareness is the word. With awareness, gratitude always comes. Sometimes I use the word consciousness, but usually I’m speaking of the same thing. As my consciousness level rises (awareness of self), I am often filled with gratitude. Things that were of critical importance no longer are. The “problems” never fully go away.That is what life…

I haven’t been writing blog posts as much as I did in the past. I still write, but I’ve also taken to being creative in different ways. I just wrote an application called My Fellow Traveler. It’s been released for iPhones and Macs, and it is currently in beta testing for Android. I might release…

I think humility and gratitude are directly connected to each other. As one rises, so does the other. When I gained humility, I was able to recognize many things in my life to be gifts, so my gratitude increased. I had started gaining humility when I went through a couple twelve-step programs. It was then…

There is a place I have found inside myself where there is absolute peace. I know where that place is and always have access (V.I.P. access) too. I know how to get there, and getting there is always a blessing. But I can never seem to stay there. I haven’t mastered that. I can usually…

I was at Save A Warrior, which is a program for veterans and first responders with Complex-PTS, a suicidal ideation detox facility. I had struggled with Complex-PTS for most of my adult life, and often struggled with suicidal ideations.Those thoughts had been a constant daily companion. Although I have a story that I was tricked…

I’m not telling anyone else what to do, this is just what I do. When I perceive suffering (s), negative energy, and such going on in my life, I first express my suffering with at least one person. I never want to hold onto my “problems” alone. So I always have a safe fellow traveler…

I have it that distilled down, ultimately the only thing I can truly control in life is that which “I” choose to focus my attention on, the decisions I make and the actions I take. Not much else. When I am entranced by my internal thoughts it requires active effort to catch myself and to…

I haven’t posted anything in a while. I am aware of that, and I’ve really been itching to get to it. I’ve just been busy. Life has me pointed in a lot of interesting directions right now. I’m learning a lot of new things, and I’ve gotten busy doing that. I still screw off quite…
