Live hard, love hard and be who you really are. I am an Army Vet, drove over the road for 24+ years, and am now a chef and own my own restaurant. I have been married for 26 years, have 4 grown children, a newborn (January 2020) and 15 grandchildren. I am a family guy. I would rather spend my time with my kids and grandkids than doing anything else in the world. I am a nerd/geek. Started writing in 6th grade, but stopped and am now getting back into it thanks to the D&D games I play and run and all the writing and creativeness that I use. My wife always thought I should, but life just gets in the way. MINDFULNESS was my wakeup call, I just realized one day that I was walking through my life not really noticing much. Going through the same motions, but not really getting anything out of it. No joy, peace, memories, contentment....nothing, just coasting along, waiting for my time to be over. What a waste. I couldnt believe that I let myself get into that kind of mental state and figured that if someone as mentally and emotionally charged and strong as I am could, so can others.... So, I wrote about it. I would be happy if I just reached one person, just like when I cook, its that one look, from that one person.....My whole day is made. I know I did something that improved or made someone elses day better. My favorite quote: "Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds." We can all improve our lives and others if we just live this way.
