Thirty days of Thanks

Today I am thankful for:

Four months have passed since I  began this new season in my life.  My wife, Laura and Adam still love me through this period of transistion.

Being able to attend a coffee club job search group. It is wonderful how much support there is in the community for everyone that is dealing with difficult circumstances.

Actually enjoying a run today, feeling engaged while running, listening to the sound of my footstrikes, enjoying the beautiful blue skies and the snow capped mountains.

My awesome family.

Today I am thankful for:

All of the people who donate their time, talent and treasury in the spirit of volunteerism.

I went to a 100 year celebration last night for the Dumb Friends League.  Last year the volunteers for this animal shelter donated 185,000 hours of their time to the shelter.  That equates to 94 full time employees for a year!

Never think that volunteering doesn't make a difference.

Whatever your passion is, get involved and serve.

5 minute Q&A

As part of my messy writing campaign, thought I would put this out into the void of cyberspace.


I am participating in a tele-seminar series and my homework assignment for this week is to interview 5-10 people and ask two questions and my role is to simply accept the feedback, not to diminish or deflect, hide from the response and then journal about the experience.

1) What do you see as my greatest strengths and best qualities?

2) What do you see as my work in the world?
