  • stay cool

    Play it safe.
    Keep it simple.
    Go look at some art.
    Climb on a bike.
    Pick out a favourite
    album (or three) and
    turn up the hi-fi.
    Go to a new restaurant
    with an old friend, or
    have a picnic in the park.
    Treat yourself to ice cream.
    Don’t read yesterday’s news
    (or social media feeds).
    Turn off the phone.
    Stay cool.
    No matter what you do, or
    how you do it, don’t let the
    weight of the week
    crush the spirit of
    the next few days.
    Summer is already to short,
    maximize your life.
    Adjust your attitude.
    Be good to your self.
    Have a great weekend.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    We spend many a day seeking the quiet only clarity permits.

       Until then it is noise. Not all of it is negative, simply unbalanced (perhaps undeserved), but necessary to help find our way through the bewildering inconvenience.

       How will you unburden yourself?

       Will you wrangle with the mendacities of the mind in isolation, seek counsel from family and friends, or will an outsider’s opinion provide the fulcrum you need.

       You won’t know until you ask, and there is no shame in doing so.

       We are all human.

  • the will or the way

    Does your off-book time allow you to stretch your legs, open your curiosity, or even passively plan on your next significant step?

       Or, at the end of the working day, are you listless, parched of inspiration, and can’t find the will or the way for your personal creativity?

       Intentions rarely take flight against the backdraft of lassitude or pallid attempts at productivity forced on us by our working lives. And the heat of these days continues its way, corrupting any opportunity of enjoyment.

       Are you stifled by yesterday and fear this day may amount to even less? 

      It’s Friday. The weekend will soon be upon us.

       Maybe today any expectations can be minimized. 

       Go with the flow rather than push back; let time pass as effortlessly as you can. Don’t let the workplace frustrations spill into the next few days.

       Perhaps then you can find time, and the incentive, you have been looking for.
