To write or not to write

Having just finished the arduous task of getting a book published, I am in the place of wondering why I write. 
 Winston Churchill once said “Writing is an Adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.” 
Anyone who has ever taken on the task of putting thought on paper can agree with that understanding. However, I would add, once you fling it to the public, then you become a drooling idiot who tries to get people to read the thing you once loved so much. 
I guess writing a book is like raising a child; you always love them, they make you very happy and cause you great pain. But in the end, you wouldn’t live life without them. Just Say’n.

Books

Books are my passion. I have written several and plan to have more before I’m finished. I love bookstores,  libraries, bookcases, and anyplace else the printed word may find a resting spot. I love to turn a page, fold a corner, underline passages that touch me, and then write thoughts in the margine for later use.
It was with some hesitancy that I began to publish my books as eBooks on the internet. I was assurred that this was a good way to reach more people, and it conserved on paper. I acquiesced, put my books as eBooks,   and found that there was some truth to all these rumors.
Now I have purchased a Kindle, which is a devise used by Amazon.com to publish eBooks. Honestly, I love my Kindle and take it with me everyplace I go. I have over 50 books in it which I can look at as I please.
Nevertheless, I still love to hold a book and turn the page. Some things just are too good to change. Just Say’n.

Life is good, even in the rain

It rained the other day and we were disappointed. Really wanted the sunny day that the weather people forecasted. Then in the midst of the rain, the sun came out and the sky lit up with color beyond words. Never grumble when the days seems bleak, it may be the one that produces a picture you will never forget.

Neil Diamond

Went to a Neil Diamond concert the other night. I think I have been a fan of his forever. He is now 71 and still puts on a great show. The audience was definitely a grey hair bunch of groupies, but we had a great time singing along with Neil. A picture is worth a thousand words, so enjoy a few seconds from this glorious concert. Who says old folks can’t rock. We still got it! Just Say’n

World Trade Center

Every week for the last ten years I’ve walked by the hole in the ground that used to be the World Trade Center. I think back on the early days of 9/11 when I couldn’t get to my office which was a block away.
 My wife couldn’t get to her office, it had been in the Tower 2 of World Trade Center.
Today I stopped to look at the construction. They’re making progress and the buildings are going back up. Never-the-less, my memories of that day still remain the same. Maybe remembering helps me to be grateful for being alive today. Can’t change history, but can be at peace in this moment. Just say'n

Beach Thoughts

Went walking on the beach the other day and saw a flock of birds flying around.
Must have been 100 of them in the air.
They would head one way and then turn on a dime and go the other. Then they would land, walk around, and on some silent cue, would once again head into the air. They worked in perfect harmony with each other and it was beautiful.


Watched the news that night and once again saw what a mess things are all over the world. 


I think we aught to let the birds run things for a while.

Kingston Trio

I was in iTunes the other day and ran across an album by the Kingston Trio, a folk group popular back in the 60’s. Bought the album and have been lost in musical history ever since. Four of us started a group back in the 60’s and called it the “Scottsdale Trio”. I know, why would four guys call themselves a trio, but remember, it was the 60’s and we thought we could do whatever we wanted.


I started down the path of the simplicity of the “good ol days” until I began to remember that it was the time of Vietnam War, Kent State shootings, assassination  of two Kennedy’s and King, and other uncertainties. All in all, it wasn’t such a “good ol days”, so I decided to stop going down that path.


One thing for sure, four guys who called themselves the “Scottsdale Trio” had a lot of fun and made some good music. Think I will just stay with that thought. Just Say’n.

What?????

My profession in life is a psychotherapist for individual and couple counseling. Over the years there have been a lot of very interesting conversations and a few of them spun my ability to remain professional.
One time, over a year ago, I had a new client who came into my office and commented on how they liked my candle in the corner. I always keep a candle lit in the office to remind myself there isn’t enough darkness in the universe to put out light, but that’s another story.
Anyhow, my new client looks at the candle for a minute and then smiles at me and says, “I like incest.”
That got my attention rapidly.  “How long has this been going on?”,  I asked. The client replied, “I think since I was young, but I’ve liked it more in the last few years. I love the way it makes my house smell.”


At that point I was completely lost, worried about patient rights, concerned about reporting this if there is a victim involved and wondering what in the world to do next. The client then smiled and said, “I like the ones that smell like frankincense the most.”


I had sudden understanding. My client didn't say she liked “incest", she said she liked “incense”. Obviously the session went much easier once I made that distinction. Never did share the story with her, didn’t want her to know how weird her therapist really was. Just say’n.
