This the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad. Psalm 118:24
If we can remember that everyday is a gift, that folks who have passed on would give anything to experience just one more time, we would be much more grateful and enjoy our lives to a fuller degree.
I want this blog to be a reflection of my personality and the conversation it sparks: Gumbo Style. When one has a Gumbo Style conversation, they start with an end goal in mind (good conversation), but do not limit the possibilities. Throwing it all in the pot, means the boundaries of the conversation are limited only by the imagination of the parties engaged in said conversation.

Keys to a Successful Life
To become the best version of myself, I must come to the stark realization that it is not all about me and what I want, need or desire but instead it is how can I help you fulfill your wants, needs and desires. If I achieve these goals for enough people then my life will not have been in vane.
Since childhood, reading books and writing have been a great and joyous past-time although I can not tell you the names of Authors or Book Titles like many folks but the materials have been synthesized to become part of my being.
My brain has a way of taking in materials, extracting the kernal and filing the rest. I do not have the ability to instantaneously recall minute details unless I take the time to drill down on a topic or subject then details start to emerge. I believe this is why I appear to some folks to be scatter brained when in fact it is my way of bringing facts from deep inside the recesses of my brain to the forefront so that they may be readily available for access.

Alone in a crowded room
Have you ever felt that no one really knew who you were and even if they did they did not care?
Have you ever been in a room full of people and felt utterly alone?
Have you ever wanted to climb into a hole and disappear or become a fly on the wall, present but not?
Have you ever been holding hands with a person you loved and suddenly realized that they were a stranger?
Have you ever been speaking to a group and started feeling like you were having an out of body experience, watching or hearing yourself but being disconnected from the person speaking?
Have you ever been driving down the road and realized that you have been been doing so unconsciously?
No, Well I have and it is not a feeling of being in control.
There were been times in the past that anxiety was so prevalent, in my life, that it ruled my every moment because I did not know when it might show-up and take control. It was always lying in wait just below the surface.
Ending: I was never treated as an anxious or depressed patient but have been on medication for symptoms at times for short periods.
