A couple weeks ago I had some work that I really, really needed to get done. I was way behind schedule and my deadline was the next day. Ugh!
That afternoon, a good friend sent me an Instant Message inviting me to a concert.  I typed my reply, “I really wish I could, but I’ve got [...]

In my last post, I shared about how I don’t feel that an ADHD diagnosis is a disability, but rather it is incredibly liberating. In case you haven’t read that post already, here is the portion where I talk about this:
Let me begin by saying that there is something very liberating about my diagnosis. I [...]

Many of you will remember the post I wrote last year where I came out about suffering from Depression. I never provided any updates about my condition after that though.
The condensed version is that a few months ago I was clinically diagnosed with ADHD instead of depression. This was a complete surprise to me, but [...]

Do you really enjoy the fall?
Do you really enjoy looking at the autumn leaves? (While they’re still in the trees, not while you’re raking them in your yard?)
A few weeks ago, my Sunday school teacher and I were talking briefly before class about how nice it is this time of year. In that conversation I [...]

This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for a couple years now and I’ve just never gotten around to it. A couple weeks ago, my friend Sindy Martin posted the following on Twitter:

I’ve always hated exercise. Even the words exercise and working out repulse me.
I’m not exactly sure why. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that while I excelled academically when I was in school, I didn’t excel in physical education nor on the playground nearly so much. Those words have always carried very [...]

I suffer from depression. There. I said it.
None of my regular readers, nor many of my closest friends, family members, and coworkers probably would have guessed it. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t have guessed it myself either and I didn’t for a very long time–at least two years. However, since I discovered that [...]

It has been a long while since I reviewed a book here. A few weeks ago Tony Schwartz’s agent asked me if I would be interested in reviewing his new book The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working. I remembered reading his book The Power of Full Engagement back in October of 2003. In fact, it [...]

My wife and I have been on a bit of Scrabble kick the past couple months–it’s good cheap and fun entertainment that makes you think. A few weeks ago we were in Wal-Mart and picked up a card game called Scrabble Slam! It looked interesting and was very inexpensive so we thought we would try [...]

I was running dangerously low on gas Monday night and had to stop and fill up at a station I don’t normally visit. I always run Regular Unleaded in my truck and never use Plus or Premium–they just aren’t worth the extra amount I would have to pay. Having said that, I have run Plus [...]
