Lost And Found

It certainly pays to practice what you preach. While purging my files, I discovered an old letter. I have forgotten so many events that have blessed my life. Once upon a time, I was a member of the International Society of Poets. The International Library of Poetry. Poetry.com. Which was... Sign in to see full entry.

Time For Spring Cleaning Again

I know it is only February, but March will be here on Sunday. Now I am at an age where I wish that time would slow down a little. Yet here we are again. Personally, spring cleaning never seems to end for me. I have mentioned this subject many times in previous posts. The longer you live, the more... Sign in to see full entry.

The Devil Is Always Busy

Now my story is old news. Yet it tends to happen regularly. I decided to sing with the mass choir for our Black History Sunday Service, and our afternoon service dedicated to Black History. In days past, this would not have been a big deal. Today it is a different story. My physical mobility is... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes The Answer for Success Is Just Having Fun

Recently, I watched a story about Norway. This very small country seems to dominate the winners' podium in the Winter Olympics. At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Norway solidified its status as the greatest Winter Olympic nation, breaking its own record with 17 gold medals. Countries... Sign in to see full entry.

In Honor of A Leader Who Made A Difference.

In honor of black history month. I would like to talk about the passing of Jesse Jackson. Many people of all colors are mourning the passing of a dedicated leader. Who focused on those who were often left without representation, hope, or a positive destiny. Here are some of his famous sayings: "I am... Sign in to see full entry.

When Others Tell You Your Crazy

In the course of reading, living, and researching those who achieve success. There seems to be a central theme. Not many gain much support. You will be called crazy, arrogant, delusional, and in need of a mental hospital. Yet those who follow their instincts find a way to overcome those who rally... Sign in to see full entry.

A Friday Surprise

First of all, happy Friday, everyone. We made it through another week. Today I was pleasantly surprised. The mother of the child I take to school each day decided to pick him up this afternoon. Which gives me the afternoon off. I am now free to complete some of my many tasks. It is not often that I... Sign in to see full entry.

Over Protective Family

Sometimes, family can go too far. My mother is 88 years old and very independent. She has lived most of her working life in the north. Now you can imagine that when you reach almost 90, you won't be as alert as you were in your 50s and 60s. My well meaning Aunts have now made it their business to... Sign in to see full entry.

We All Have to Take Out The Trash

This morning, after eating breakfast. I was emptying my recycling and trash cans. Transferring them to the outside containers. While moving some of the snow to make it a little safer to get to the trash. I broke my wooden shovel while moving the snow. It is still a hard, lasting winter. After... Sign in to see full entry.

The Winter Olympics A Mirror of Democracy

I love the Olympics. Countries from around the world compete in sports events to earn the title of the best in the world. Regular people from small towns to big cities. From every economic and cultural class. Compete with an equal opportunity. What does that remind you of? This competition is a... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Michael's Lessons from life is my view of the lessons I have learned from the simple to the complex. My father and mother, blessed me with a simple, non complicated way of living and loving life. In a world where it seems the negative has taken over. I want to share a positive, enlightened view of the world as I have experienced it. Including my view of what is happening today.
