Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Divine Appreciation
There's a moment in any day where they clubs clear, the sun sets and beams light fall from the sky, tumbling to the ground with heavenly grace. A divine moment of natural beauty, perfectly capturing the power of the universe and the cosmic flukes that happen within it but this can happen any day, you merely have to look for them. That ideal window of time where nature boasts it's tremendous humble being. Similarly, a storm that rages maintains a similar sense of outstanding elegance, littering the sky with brilliant bolts of lightning and roars of thunder. Rage incarnate on display for the world to behold. It provokes a sense of mortality, a modest understanding of our role in the world, with each other. Art, at least for me, has always had a similar quality.

The Shop
Let's get this over with. We all get old. The only way around this is to die young and most of us aren't willing to do that. I never really understood the brutality of age until it hit me with both feet in the middle of my chest like a WCW wrestler coming off the top rope. No, I didn't have a heart attack or anything like that. I was actually in pretty good health, or so I thought, mowing my yard on a bright July morning about 7 years ago. I was kind of in a hurry to get it done because I wanted to get back to my shop where I had some cabinets clamped up and drying for one of the biggest and most important kitchens I had ever built. My wife had finally given me the order to custom build our dream kitchen. Never mind I had been building custom kitchens for others for a long time! She's kind of choosy and took her time.

Who am I?
The first step towards personal development is to understand who you are. Until you know who you are you can never understand purpose, and in understanding purpose I’m talking about why you were created by God. It is about knowing what you have, why you have it, and how you can apply it to day-to-day life in order to be productive.

The Message
A box wrapped in brown paper. I stand still, staring at the unknown package in front of me. All my senses seem numb to the world that was wearing me down less than five minutes ago. My hands stubbornly shoved in my pockets, seeking warmth from the cold wind that stirs the autumn leaves from the dying grass.

What Is Deliberate Practice
Practice, opportunity, and karma join to make skill, and specialists should demythologize the accomplishment of greatness so the possibility of virtuoso is conceived, not established. Each time you create a choice, collaboration, or discourse that matches with individuals who dominate, you are one bit nearer to being a specialist. Show Sources

For the Love of Skinny Pigs
It is a well known fact that cats and dogs can be therapeutic. They are brought into hospitals and retirement homes because of their sanative dispositions and let us not forget also that dogs are man’s best friend. Well, my best friends are my Skinny Pigs. They bring me inner peace. Whenever I’m feeling exhausted, lethargic, poorly or sad, just a few minutes with Mabel, Doris and Matilda make me feel better.

Accepting happiness
It was only in the last few years of my life, I felt truly happy and comfortable with my the hard way. For thirty years, but the dominant feeling I carried around with me, that was an extreme social anxiety. Strangely enough, because most of the people who knew me would describe me as me, as a self-confident guy who's got along with just about everyone.
