I was so excited about getting my new bike that I have to pay tribute to the old one. On May 5, 2017 after a 21 year hiatus from riding, my “Phoenix” arrived! I referred to it as my Phoenix […]

I am truly blessed! 1400 days ago I received the news from my primary care physician to start getting my affairs in order! Although he didn’t say the words exactly, I know how to read between the lines. Basically he […]

We have to change the way we think. So many call themselves “lucky”. But in actuality what we really are is “blessed”. Luck is something that comes in gambling. A few times this week I sat inside the lobby of […]

There are times when I feel like I have nothing new to blog about. But what I have to remember is that I am still here! It’s not that I’m taking my life for granted, on the contrary, each and […]
