I learned about the power of focus and concentration yesterday.
It was a simple lesson, really, one that came from the blessing of an unexpected three hours of unscheduled time when a meeting scheduled to last all day was shortened to a half-day.
I’m trying to rearrange the way I invest my time.
I want to take better care of myself, physically and emotionally. I want to spend more time doing things I enjoy. I’m like everybody else, trying to balance a long list of want to and must do items.

When I finished wiping the tears from my cheeks, I started thinking about other things. Important things.
I’ve read article after article this past week about New Year’s resolutions. How to make them. Why to make them. How to forgive yourself when you fail to keep your resolutions. That’s why I avoid making them.
Then I stumbled across an article that prompted me to think differently.
Now there are two — not one, but two — radio stations in Virginia Beach playing Christmas music 24 hours-a-day. Why am I convinced it’ll be a trio as soon as I […]
