Since the new semester has started things both professional and personal have left me no time to blog. I plan to be blogging again soon – but as days pass with nothing new, I expect it could be March before I get back to the usual pace.
For now suffice it to say that my life is undergoing a kind of transformation, and overall it is a very good thing. But it is cutting into my blogging time, probably for the next three weeks.
So I’ll end with two thoughts:
1. I really loved President Obama’s State of the Union speech last night; and
2. My new favorite quote, a great way to approach life, from Anthony Hopkins: “My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.”
It does! I’ll post when inspiration strikes, but it may not be until into March!

Hopkins is getting at that age like me where caring what others think is a matter of scale. If it’s your spouse or your children, it matters. If it’s not, it doesn’t.
Enjoy your hiatus Scott

I think Mr. Obama may be over reaching. Just implementation of the initiatives from his first term would have been plenty. He has a mandate, but it came to a large degree because of dislike of the Republican as too anti-foreign, too anti-freedom, too pro-war, and just too crazy.

I was wondering where you were! I’m looking forward to reading more…

Darn that need for a paycheck, always getting in the way of blogging! 😆 Seriously, as someone who routinely has had to put a blog on hiatus or very limited posting schedules because of his professional duties, I understand. We’ll still be around when you get back to it.

So your inspiration has taken you on a path that need not be “blogged” at this time. Can’t wait to hear what is inspiring you. I am sure it will be worth the wit and wait.
