LAUNDRY
I’m having a really tough time right now. It’s my day off and laundry is on my list of things to do. Yet when i went out to put in a load in the washing machine I found someone else’s clothes sitting in there. Wet having gone through a cycle. Yeah. I live in a apartment complex. Community washer and dryer. Don’t like it. I used to live in a place that had it’s own right in the apartment. Talk… Read More

WRITING A WRONG….
To write or not to write. That was the question. Tracey and I sometimes point-counterpoint our opinions or feelings following major events. We did so when Phillip Seymour Hoffman died and again when Robin Williams took his own life. We weren’t at odds about anything. We were both devastated by the loss. But, I needed to have my say. I think many times adding my voice has much more to do with my own mental health than anyone else’s. Tracey’s… Read More

GETTING THROGH THE HOLIDAYS WITH GRATITUDE AND YOUR SANITY
Here at G and T we try and be grateful every day. We try and give back. We like to think of it like everyday is Thanksgiving here. But today is the real Thanksgiving. The day when families all across the country somehow through bad weather, delayed flights, crowded highways and screaming children make their way to relatives to ostensibly give thanks and not have any fist fights or screaming matches while carb loading and often drinking too much.… Read More
GRASPING FOR GRATEFUL STRAWS

You are grateful the seasons are changing. You are grateful for the job you have. The sidewalk beneath your feet, your dogs drool. Then there are days when gratitude is hiding under the bed. It’s totally concealed by dark cloud. It feels like life and events are conspiring against you. And… Read More
The MASK OF FEAR
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. ~ FDR ~ I’m one of four children. I have two older siblings; the oldest, a brother, the second in command, a sister and a younger brother who was born when my parents decided they didn’t want to deal with “empty nest syndrome”. But for a good while I was the youngest. Somewhere in the research of family personality tests, the youngest child is suppose to be the spoiled one… Read More
WATCH – REPAIR
My last blog was about time. Today I’d like to share some thoughts about “Watch repair”. Sounds like I’ve got a ‘tick-tock tick doesn’t it? I’m not talking about fixing something strapped to your wrist. I’m talking about correcting, adjusting, sfine-tuning the way we look at life. “Watch your mouth!” is a parental mantra. At least it was in my house. I heard it when talking back or being disrespectful to my mother. Most kids hear it when they’re… Read More
MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR MIND
Last weekend I was reunited with my friend Peter after not seeing him for a year and a half. Peter is a fascinating man, who happens to be a masterful haircutter. Peter has been cutting my hair for many years. Peter is also deeply spiritual. In fact the reason I had not seen him was Peter took off from his successful career (he also had his own reality show) and spent the last eighteen months in an ashram in India.… Read More
