I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!

W e want everything and we want it right now. Unfortunately, God does not work that way. He does everything in His time and makes all things beautiful in His time. Remember how I used to rant about my co-worker who was always getting in my way, being spiteful, making mischief? Well, because of how... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT'S THE POINT IN BEING SNOOTY OR SNOTTY?

I ’ve always been amazed by people who think they are better than others. They may be better off, but not better than and are hopelessly in love with themselves and therefore, by extension, full of themselves. What’s the point in getting carried away with my own self-importance? As the Bible says,... Sign in to see full entry.

MONEY MAKES THE MARE GALLOP

T hat’s a saying in Jamaica and it happens to be true. I’ve written a novel that I finished a few months ago, but I’ve been sitting on it. I wrote it because I started out by challenging myself. Could I actually write something longer than an article or short story? It turns out that I can. Having... Sign in to see full entry.

PREVENTING MENTAL ILLNESS

H ave you ever wondered why and how it is that some of us cope better with problems than others? Have you ever thought about how easy it is to tread over the line into insanity? I have a situation at work where someone I supervise has become sullen and uncommunicative over a period of time. I was at... Sign in to see full entry.

SUPERMAN IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT!

T his past month I've spent more time at work than at home because we hosted the Caribbean Golf Championships. There have been many late nights in the past few months and usually, I only get to spend a half hour with my son before he goes to bed. This evening I got home at about 7:00 and took a gift...

I Keep Wondering Why...

I continue to keep this account, but then I think I know. Blogit was a favourite hangout for a long time. Even though I wander away for extended periods of time, I keep coming back because of the folks that I know are here. I also keep telling myself that I am going to make the time to write, but it...

Work takes up more hours than ever and I need to find a groove. That is, knowing how to take time out to do a... Sign in to see full entry.

WHERE DOES IT GO?

H ow ironic is it that I can’t find time to write, but I’m jotting down my thoughts here at work? What’s worse is that if I was at home right now, I’d be writing, but not for any blog. While I’m asking questions, I don’t understand how it is possible for time to slip away like this. Wasn’t it a... Sign in to see full entry.

JOTTINGS

I n keeping with my decision to take a break and relax more, I’m making my jottings here this morning. I went to Associated Content a while ago to see whether my scribblings will match their site. While I was doing that, I thought about what email address I should use to sign up and I have a few of... Sign in to see full entry.

HAS IT REALLY BEEN 28 DAYS?

I t's hard to believe, but it really has been 28 days since I last posted here. I'm a firm believer in making time for a little bit of everything, but it seems that everything has got away from me. My hours are longer, yes, but I think I deserve to play a little bit more than I am currently doing.... Sign in to see full entry.
