Rarely has there been a time in my life when a situation hasn't been made better by writing my ideas down. There is something about putting the pen to paper that helps sort things out, and brings a certain clarity that would be elusive if those same thoughts were just floating around in my big, empty head.

We discussed a bill recently that would allow officers to ticket drivers that were to be found with any dangerous drugs in their system if they seemed impaired behind the wheel. This was theorized to prevent any medical marijuana recipients from ever being able to drive as they would test positive for dangerous drugs. After today's legislature, this is no longer the case.
I was watching a TV show last night when one of the characters said to the other, "I can take care of myself, I need you to take care of you." That works I suppose. Of course, there's another approach too. One where you never have to think of yourself, or worry about your own best interest. That would all be taken care of.
If you’re waiting for your ship to come in, wishing you’d win millions in the lottery, or hoping for that perfect job to come along; I’ve got bad news. The ship’s not coming. Your numbers are not going to be drawn. The perfect job will not magically appear. In fact, there is no ship. (Don’t worry, I’ve got something better.)
Ever thought of doing something crazy or adventurous but never really followed through? If one of your ideas involves traveling the country or part of it on a motorcycle, you must read this. Here we have three books that will explain exactly why you should stop pondering with the idea and get out and do it.
I see it all the time. Someone in the world drops the ball, and doesn't do something they most likely should have. Didn't do their job. Didn't finish a task. Did something incorrectly. You name it. Someone else comes along and does the job, finishes the task, or corrects the mistake. They could be the 'hero,' but too often they're not.
Our minds are a lot like computers. Every now and then we need to restart our machines. Clean out the clutter, delete old unused files, remove viruses. Whenever a computer in our office is having a problem, the first thing our IT Director will ask is, "Did you reboot?" And yes, that actually work most of the time.
