"Oh crap, I forgot to mail my bills yesterday." "Holy moley, look at the time. I'm going to be late AGAIN." "OW! Who left that %^*& Leggo on the floor?" I really felt tired, having staid too late the night before, and I really didn't need that last glass of wine.
Jees, what a way to start the day. By the time I made it to the bathroom, my brain was in bad-mood overdrive.
Puzzles have a lot of pieces, fragments that don't seem to be related to each other upon opening the box. You can see some similarities, giving you clues to the eventual assembly of the puzzle.
Just like puzzle pieces, seemingly random events occur in our lives. But they also seem to come in sets or groupings, where the theme of these occurences appear to be related to each other.

Dread Head Saturday, Jun 13, 2009 It's time for Tom to go home now. He's not looking forward to it at all. His wife is on the war-path and has been for the past several weeks. His son has just hit his "terrible teens" and treats him like a dog. He would rather just stay at work and surf the Internet in his cubicle, just to delay the inevitable for a little longer.
"TGIF!" used to be theme on Fridays, but not anymore. Tom just sees it as two contiguous days of dread, accompanied by hopeful dreams of getting back to work on Monday, where no one can bother him.
A Novel Approach Friday, Jun 12, 2009 I just finished listening to an audiobook that was over 15 hours long. It took several trips back and forth from work to hear the whole book. This was the first time I’ve ever listened to an actual novel. Most of the podcasts and audiobooks I’ve listened to in the past were self-improvement and motivational type recordings. So this was definitely a different type of listening for me.
I been hooked on IPod type recordings for quite a while now, every since I “borrowed” my sons IPod.
On this occasion, the book I chose to listen to was an action/mystery/fantasy type novel, filled with joy, love, death and deceit. I have to admit I was hooked early on after listening to the first chapter of this book. I found myself listening to it on the way to work, at lunch, on the way home from work and even on trips to the grocery store.
Worry Warts and the Church Camp from Hell Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 Many years ago (and I mean MANY), I decided at the young age of 19 that I was going to be bonified Church Youth Director and felt "called" to do so. I talked with my preacher and he set me up with a small church across town as their new Youth Director and offered to pay me a whopping 15 dollars a month.
Thought and the Law of Attraction Wednesday, Jun 10, 2009 I just found this video that was added to YouTube a few days ago. I really like this one. Abraham does a comparison of our inner guidance system to GPS. Enjoy!
Chiggers Tuesday, Jun 9, 2009 Yesterday, my wife and I went to watch our 13 year old son play in small football scrimmage game. When we arrived at the stadium we found that the scrimmage had been moved to an open field behind the big stadium. No biggy, we just followed the other parents and walked out to the field.
When we arrived at the field, we found that there weren't any bleachers to sit on, just God's green grass and row after row of very old pecan trees. These old leathery trees leaned over a grassy area, covering everything with a lovely shade. As we claimed our spots to watch the game, we began to notice a nice refreshing breeze coming out of the west. The smell of freshly mowed grass, accompanied by the moist fragrance of a distant rain shower, filled me with memories of my own childhood adventures, playing in open fields around my neighborhood. This, without a doubt, was much better than baking in the sun on some hot and hard metal bleachers.
Stuck in a Rut Monday, Jun 8, 2009 When a car is stuck in a rut, it can't move. It's stays in the same position until someone comes along with a tow cable or a tow truck. When we take a closer look at this car, we see all sorts of power potential that is just lying dormant, unable to help in any way. When in it's element, this machine can zoom through traffic, go over a hundred miles an hour, and bring itself to a complete safe stop.
When people get stuck in a rut, like cars, they sometimes perceive themselves as being helpless, looking for someone or something to pull them out of the rut. The refuse to see that they have their own tow cable and they alone have the hidden power to pull themselves out.
