The older I get the more I come to realize so much of life is beyond my control. What is in my control are my emotions, my reactions, and my choices. That’s all I got. The rest I leave to divine intervention.

Going Through The Motions
Life is more than going through the motions of living. You know what I mean....get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch some programming, clean up, do some laundry, go to bed....on and on same thing day after day after day until...you die.

Do you read?
Do you read? Books are all the things you’re thinking of right now. Books are movies in your mind’s eye while you are reading.
