My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
Ordinary Extra - May 31, 2023. Last May Sunrise. I was up early. I had things to do and miles to cover. But I was blessed to see the sunrise. The last May sunrise of 2023. I took three pictures just a few dozen seconds apart and the colors changed. God's handiwork never ceases to amaze me. Continue Reading...
Ordinary Extra - May 30, 2023. Field of Flags. Today was one of those days where the structure is in place, the schedule is accurate, and the necessary piece is the person hitting all the steps along the way. Not hard, but requiring perseverance.

Ordinary Extra - May 27-29, 2023. A Quiet Thank You. While sitting in my backyard during the early morning hours this weekend while sipping hot coffee, I took time to pray, to ponder, and to slow down. I slowed down in order to embrace the quality of life I am fortunate to have. Continue Reading...

Ordinary Extra - May 26, 2023. Go With The Flow. A night of broken sleep led to another cool, early morning.

Ordinary Extra - May 23, 2023. Reflecting Time. Another day. Another opportunity. Another gift from God. It was a busy day, like too many days are. Were there picture perfect moments to post to the social media for the masses to see? No, probably not. Continue Reading...
Ordinary Extra - May 22, 2023. Just a friendly tip. We live in an age where comparisons are being made 24/7 whether we know it or not. Social media, TV, Internet ads, and many more outlets bombard us all with image. Image as in, this is how the perfect product, or the perfect moment, or even any product in the perfect setting, can make life, well, pretty near perfect. You know what I Continue Reading...
