It is 4:41 AM on May 26th, 2017. Today is my 40th birthday. I awoke at 3:50 AM and have completed all my morning rituals: I’ve drank a shot of wheatgrass, put away the dry dishes and washed the dirty ones, set the coffee, meditated and now it is time for a journal entry. I’ve…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.26.2017

Journal Entry – 5.25.2017
Tomorrow is my 40th birthday. As I’ve said before I’ve felt like I’ve already reached 40 for a couple of months now but tomorrow it is for real. Turning 40 reminds me of two things my parents said. When I was young my Mom told me she never thought she’d be turning 40; life went…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.25.2017
Journal Entry 5.10.2017
The time is 6:11 AM; I have very little time to write in peace before everyone wakes up. An interesting thing happened the other day. I’ve been stressed and anxious for many months about work. This is normal for an Account Manager because there is always the fear of losing accounts, of management restructuring yet…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5.10.2017
Journal Entry – 5.8.2017
It is 5:56 AM on Monday, May 8th. It is a little later than I’m used to for a blog post; the household is going to wake up in about thirty minutes so I don’t have too much time. The weekend went quickly. Friday was Cinco de Mayo but we stayed in and did nothing…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.8.2017
つみきのいえ (The House of Small Cubes) – ‘One Life’ and the brevity of life
Last night I saw the short film つみきのいえ, ‘The House of Small Cubes.’ It is of an old man whose village has flooded over may years and so he continually must build another level to his house to stay above water. In the middle of every cube is a trap door leading to the lower,…… Continue reading つみきのいえ (The House of Small Cubes) – ‘One Life’ and the brevity of life
Journal Entry – 5.4.2017
It is 5:42 AM on May 4th 2017. Life has been a blur recently and I haven’t had time to write a journal entry. This is the month where I turn 40. This significant birthday has been looming on the horizon for some time now and made me feel as though I had turned forty…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.4.2017
Estate sales
Last weekend I came across two estate sales and decided to have a look around. Estate sales are much better than garage sales: at garage sales people are usually just getting rid of junk, things that are not very useful but at estate sales everything is for sale as the owner has passed away. But…… Continue reading Estate sales
Journal Entry – 4.15.2017
It is 5:10 AM on Saturday morning, April 15th, 2017. I’ve had my shot of wheatgrass, meditated, put way the dishes, and still have time for a journal entry. Today is the first day of a different schedule. Saturday Japanese class starts today for my son so our normal Saturday routine of karate followed by…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 4.15.2017
