Today I saw humanity right there in the food line at the soup kitchen. I sat among the outcast of society that we lock our doors in the sight of.

I enjoy cleaning windows with the strong scent of Windex in the air, the wiping of paper towels upon the cold glass and the clarity of the view after it is finished.

Finding balance is like learning to ride a bike for the 1st time. We took the training wheels off of Jake’s bike

Driving down Santa Monica Boulevard in search of the Hollywood sign, I spotted it, a church sign that read Mass at 5:30 p.m. It was 5:15 p.m.

“Is Katie available? My daughter wants to start her first savings account?” I asked the receptionist at our bank.

I think it was a worm he was searching for in the puddle but maybe it was a leaf, one never knows with a four year old boy!  That being said I guess we are all like four year old boys!

Where do you seek your happiness?  Is it on payday when your direct deposit reaches your checking account and you know the bills will be covered?
