It's That Simple

There's a reason why we feel good after we exercise... gym, walking, playing hard... like we should. The body makes all the chemicals needed for our brains to be happy. When you sit around and F-off your body doesn't make the stuff that you need to be happy. Then we substitute for that by ingesting BS.
Drug companies love the fact that we're clueless... all the way to the bank even after the warnings that the shit they make might make us want to jump off a bridge.
Get out and break a sweat!!!
Your body will thank you for it!

Three Is A Charm

Starlight... Star bright!
I lay me down, oh God...
to sleep tonight.
First star to the right,
and straight on through...
till morning.

"The Crap Shoot"

The love of life I'm reminded...
how much it's respected.
You can look both ways with all due respect...
and still expect the unexpected.

Optimistically Speaking

Today the sun rose at 7:55 a.m. Then, after offering us a mere 8 hours and 25 minutes of daylight, it will set, at 4:20 p.m. (nice number)
This is how winter officially begins. OK fine, BUT the the days only get brighter and longer from here on out by one minute a day. The weather has been mild and with a little bit of luck we just might see Spring while waiting for Winter.

Just Around The Corner

Our children can make us cry.
Sometimes... we catch those tears,
in the corners of a smile.

Up

The sky above may diffuse you.
The stars are still there.
Morning or night...
they're never out of sight.
Never let the clouds confuse you.

While Icing My Leg

There's something to say about older black and white mysteries... low-fi clarinet and violin sound tracks, dimly lit viscous plots that continually thicken up to the point when the culprit is finally revealed.
Combine these with rustling leaves on a windy night, a hearth full of flames... a blanket and a pot of coffee and... I'm good.
