It’s not uncommon to hear people making excuses about why they didn’t take advantage of the opportunities that life sent their way. You’ll hear them say things like, “I could have done this or that….” Then come the excuses: “…but at the time my kids were little,” or “but we had just bought a new house,” or “but it seemed like too big of a risk” Unfortunately, many of these people continue this pattern of making excuses right into their old age.

The famous psychologist, Karl Menninger, might have given us a magic key to handling stress and unhappiness in our lives. “What would you advise a person to do” one man asked, “if that person felt a nervous breakdown coming on?” Menninger’s answer: “Lock up your house, go across the railway tracks, find someone in need, and do something to help that person.” In other words, when you have problems of your own, put some of your efforts into helping someone else solve his problems.

On July 5th I will be celebrating my 80th birthday with my family in Battle Creek, Michigan. The big Eight Oh! I gave myself an early present, which is the publication of my new 324-page novel titled The Old Man and the CD. It is a story about this old coot who thinks he has everything but discovers that there is one thing that he wants that he does not have and that is a Hit Song. He joins the blind friend and together they put together The Double A Band and set out in search of a hit song.

I attended a party where one of the guests was intent on bragging about his latest accomplishments. I watched as he moved from group to group trying to get people to listen to his story. As soon as he started talking about himself, one by one, people in the group would excuse themselves and move on. He would then move on to another group only to have the same thing happen.

Every once in a while, a challenge opens. This one we grabbed. The trail runs through some very rugged country in Ontario, Canada. Much of it is not for the faint of heart, but worth every second of the hours (and days) you spend on the trail.

Sunday we attended the 253rd Old Bluff Church Reunion on Cape Fear River in Cumberland County, NC and we had dinner on the grounds. The service was inspiring and the bagpiper, Rev. Arnold Pope served up a sermon that was worthy of a massive cathedral anywhere in the world.

Shin: device for finding furniture in the dark. I did better than that the other night. I turned off the lights in reverse order ending up in my office and then I proceeded to head back to our bedroom. I fell on my face and my glasses made a little cut on the bridge of my nose. I didn’t jump up to my feet as if nothing had happened. I lie there a minute or two reflecting on what I had just done. I wasn’t real proud of myself.

I grew up during an era where daydreaming was considered loafing or wasting time. The prevailing logic was straightforward: If you were daydreaming, you weren’t working. While reading Brian Clark’s blog on the web site “Lateral Action,” I learned there is sound scientific evidence connecting daydreaming with creativity—people who daydream more are more creative, innovative, and better problem solvers.
