About Me

When I talk about myself, I normally mention my daughter first. I remember her laughing as a baby and it feels like just yesterday. We were eating dinner and she was in her rocker. She was just minding her own business and all of a sudden she started laughing. She was only a few months old at the time and I remember thinking, "Why would she be laughing? What could she possibly find funny?"
But then again, she has always been way ahead of her time. She is the most thoughtful person I know. She thinks of everyone else first. She was going to spend her Christmas money on her cousins one time. I talked her out of it and got her to spend it on herself. That's how mature she can be.
But, she is still a kid. She loves playing outside, drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and doing things most kids love to do. She rides her bike and fights with me tooth and nail to put on her helmet. That's the normal side of her.
Me? Oh right, me. I'm a writer and a business consultant for small online businesses. I have a great sense of humor although sometimes, people just don't get the joke. I have a great disposition on life, but it took me years to get it back. Now, I'm fighting my way out of Smallton, Maryland where I know once I make my escape, I will be able to get on with life just that much better.
"In the measurement of things, there is a great irony often overlooked. It's a childish desire, the childish desire for good."
Remember...words the Dalai Lama once said. "Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it."

read good books

the man who can't read them."

Loss of Eye Sight
