The Gratitude Journal – How I do mine

Posted on Written by

Thanksgiving day is a good day to start journaling.  A good bicycling friend got me into the habit a few years ago.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today
and creates a vision for tomorrow.”  ~ Melody Beattie

Lately I have been working on Journaling about Gratitude.

The iPhone/iPad app DayOne has been a big part to my success.  I would encourage you if you want to start journaling to look at this app.  You will be surprised how easy it is to use and how it incorporates so many apps that you use daily.  It integrates with your photos, dropbox, weather and many other hooks you have on your devices.

Scribe Fire Blog Writing Add on for Google Chrome Test Post

Posted on Written by

I was reading an artcile about a blog writing tool called Scribe Fire to help me with my blog writing. 

This is a test post. 

This possible could be a nice replacement to help with the blog writing.  I used to use a microsoft product called Windows Live Writer. It became not that stable so i stopped using it and went to writing directly in WordPress.  We will see how this product works.  So far it seems quite promising.

Thank you for taking time to read this.

Who Died in Henderson KY ?

Website Obituary Notifications for Henderson KY

Did you ever wonder how you are going to know if someone died in Henderson Kentucky now that the local newspaper (The Gleaner) has put up a pay wall for reading the obituaries?

That question is easy to answer! 

Sign up for the email obituaries that all local funeral homes publish. 

I was told in recent years by a Gleaner advertising representative that the obituary page of the newspaper was the most frequently view page on the on-line site, and a reason people buy an actual newspaper.  I am proud to say that I purchase (and have for several years) the digital edition of The Gleaner for less than $90 per annum.  This is a great buy for the daily paper on both the desktop computer and the iPad.  The iPad edition of the paper looks just like the printed copy of the newspaper!

Having the obituaries emailed to you is a very nice service because you will get notification of the local death as soon as the funeral home actually gives the obituary to the newspapers direct to your desk top or mobile device.

It’s easy to sign up.  Just click on the  funeral home name below and enter your email information, and you will be on the list.  I have been signed up for all of them since they started offering the service.  All of the funeral homes are good and only send you obituary notice information.  They do not spam you and try to sell you funeral plans or anything like that.

This is a great way to remember to pay respects to people you know and love.  Sign up for the obituary notifications today and never be left not knowing “who died”!

Get the Mirror Out

Posted on Written by

“Get the Mirror Out.” That is what I say to myself when I observe others doing something that I do not approve, is wrong or just socially unacceptable.

This is a practice I try to do for myself to make sure that I am not doing the very same thing- of which I often am.

Mirrors are good because they return to us an exact image of what we are saying, doing and or being.

In my office, I  keep a mirror (this is the one I use) by the side of my computer.  I am constantly reviewing that mirror when I am writing emails and talking over the phone and making sure that I am returning an attitude that presents me well.  Every time I look in the mirror, I make sure that I am smiling even when times it is hard.

When is the last time you looked at the mirror for a return of your actions?  Is the mirror returning positive actions and reactions?
