Vote Your Hearts

On this election day I will not endorse anyone all I will say is vote what you truly believe in your heart and what you morally know is right. This choice will be different for different people but dig down deep and ask your soul what is right and why am I making this decision. Who we elect is a mirror of what we think about ourselves and what we want to project out to the rest of the world. As evolving humans we are compelled to move past old stereotypes and embrace an inclusive whole world and whole universe view. So lets see which way this country goes and who we think we are. So go vote show who you are.

We love our dogs

Oh yeah they are a lot of work, sometimes trouble, sometimes heartbreak but they always love us. Dogs don't expect too much of us mostly a little to eat a warm place to sleep and a lot of love back from us. Mary and I have always had dogs Missy, JJ, Lady, Jake, Dezzi, Sierra, now Shasta and Sissy. Most have been Labs as are our current two very athletic very smart and very loyal. Yes we love our dogs they bring us closer to God as I have said before there is a reason God and dog share the same three letters. Anyway here are some dog pics. Love Ya All

Not Me

It's been one month since I got fired from my job of 11 years. I was hired on 9/11/01 and fired on 9/11/12 kind of ironic don't you think. As I look back at it the company was setting me up so they could pull this one off. They are trying to get rid of all of the older workers. They put me in a position and set me up to appear to fail. The management at the city and the company both changed to much younger people. The expectations and level of service were raised much higher than they had ever been before. My crew staffing was cut back severely and half of the workers were temps that could not drive the company trucks or use any power tools so what good were they. The company needed to show the city that they had the number of people they were contracted to but half were useless. So I got to be the companies scapegoat so they could blame whatever problems this caused on someone and get rid of an older and more costly employee. This company MCE Corp. is in the business of contracting out municipal and public works projects and undercutting the traditional work force and not offering their employees any security at all. Just needed to get a little of this off my shoulders it's hard to talk to my wife too much about it I don't want her to feel any more insecure than she must already.

Sunny In Seattle

Well we all know it's not "always sunny in Seattle" but it sure was over the past few days that we were there. It is early October and the weather was just gorgeous the whole experience this trip was great almost there was a couple of hotel issues but we got them resolved quickly. Went up for my niece Leigh's wedding and got to see a lot of family and friends that we just never see enough of. I'm back in California in the Bay Area and as I sit hear at the computer I hear rain starting up outside. It hasn't rained here in so long I can't even remember when. I had forgotten how very cool the Seattle area is, Pike Place Market, great coffee (not SB) though they are not bad, museums, close to nature, water all around, the ferries, green green green, trees trees trees. Yeah I like Seattle. We found a little coffee place up on Queen Anne Hill that was exceptional and they said we should walk down a couple of blocks to see the view it was great and a real treat. All the people we came in contact with were very friendly. Yeah I like Seattle when the sun is shining.

Taking Care of Myself

This transition in my life is opening up my eyes, that I have not been taking care of myself very well for a very long time. This means everything right down to brushing my teeth as often as I should. I realize how this has affected me and the people around me, not only bad breathe haha but a bad and negative attitude. This way that I had been living was not living at all it was some kind of treading water or standing still, stuck and not moving forward at all. I can not be good to other people if I am not good to myself first. "Love thy neighbor as thy self." It says it right there in the Bible! I can't love others properly if I am not loving myself properly.
I want to LIVE the rest of my life not just exist and tolerate an unacceptable way of life. Already I am calming down and doing the little things that are important to feed my body, mind and most of all my soul.

I am taking better physical care of myself eating right, exercising, reading, praying, meditating and so on all the things I have been craving but putting on the back burner because of a relentless work schedule at an unrewarding, unethical job. My skills and my passions will be used on my terms from now on I have the chance to be who I am suppose to be not force myself into bondage. I am excited, relieved and so very happy to have this chance to remake myself or should I say re find myself.
