My biggest fear is trying to deal with something out of my control. I have a waking nightmare that my family suffers some tragedy. Maybe it’s the loss of a parent, or Heaven forbid a child, and as a result of it, my wife and I won’t be able to come together to deal with…

150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 28 – Your Most Embarrassing Memory
Oh this one is easy. My most embarrassing memory happened way back when I was in first grade. The school I went to for Kindergarten through second grade had all kinds of fun things for its students to do. There were fun days where classes could come to school on special days for field day,…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 27 – What is the Worse Experience You’ve Ever Had?
What comes to mind when I think about the worse thing I’ve had to deal with was when I broke my wrist. I’ve been fortunate enough not to suffer much in the way of physical injuries. The worst I ever got was when I fell off a roof and fractured one of the bones in…
150 Day Journaling Challenge: Day 22 – Your Dream Career If Money Wasn’t An Issue
If you had asked me what my dream career was a few years ago, my answer would have been as a special effects makeup artist. I could see myself working on movie and TV shows creating creatures, or other cool makeups that went on film. If life worked out to where that was my career,…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 20 – What are You Most Grateful For?
It’s hard to say one thing above everything else in my life that I’m grateful for. To pick only one would be a disservice to the other blessings in my life. I like the idea of this prompt – even the idea of whole gratitude journals. Many people focus on what is lacking in their…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 19 – What You Love Most About Your SO or Best Friend
Now comes all the sappy questions. Enough about us, right? Move on to the people in our lives. Well, I just so happen to have a significant other I can write about. I’ve been married to my wife for six years now and been together closer to nine. We’ve gone through a lot together, good…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 16 – What About Yourself Do You Want To Improve?
I’ve come a long way to today from who I was, say, five years ago. I’m more responsible, responsive to my family, I’m doing well at work. I do a good job staying on top of things that need to be done at the house and being open with my problems and getting help with…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 14 – If You Could Go Anywhere in the World Right Now, Where Would it Be?
Today has been so busy! You can definitely tell it’s a Monday. I nearly missed my post for the day, but no! I shall not forget. If I could go anywhere right now, it would be somewhere like England, Scotland, or Ireland. Oooh, maybe even Italy or the coast of Spain. Somewhere in Europe for…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 13 – Are You Happy Right Now? Why or Why Not?
Am I happy now? Short answer: yes. It’s taken a while to get to where I am today, and there are still plenty of things that I continue to work on and improve. Overall, yes, I’m happy. My family is finally in our own house. We have everything we need and a few things we…
150 Day Journal Challenge : Day 10 – What You’d Say to Your Favorite Celebrity
I don’t have a movie star or musician that I have been a super fan of for years. I have actors and such that I like, but no one, no matter how famous, has transcended being a normal person. To narrow every movie star, music maker, writer, sports star, artist, or otherwise a famous personality…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 8 – A Letter to Yourself Five Years from Now
Dear Five-year older version of me: This must be surreal, huh? Has it been a while since you’ve thought about me? See, in case you forgot, five years ago you did this thing where you took a 150 Day Journal Challenge and posted it all on WordPress. Even though you just started last week, things…
150 Day Journal Challenge: Day 7 – Whatever Comes to Your Mind, Don’t Stop for Ten Minutes
Ok, stream of consciousness for ten minutes. Aaaaaand…go! Today has been pretty slow at work, and that’s okay with me. My department has plans to meet later for dinner as a farewell to a guy from our group that’s leaving for a new job somewhere else. I think no one is in the mood to…
