Views through my lens
A long time with no dialog on my blog. I spent a month at Odell Lake, fishing with friends and family. I also did some scattering of Mary and Keisha’s ashes. For the most part I had a good time, but the loneliness is sometimes overpowering. I’ll get through this but the traverse is challenging. …

Tomorrow Greta goes to Minoggie Kennels for the month of June. Our husky, Keisha, is at the bottom right of this URL. Mary and I never got around to getting Greta “boat savvy” so this last final trip to Odell will be…. I could fill in the end in a lot of ways. This is …
I’m enjoying a slower pace of life, eBay was remarkably easy and I was able to recovered some funds, but time intensive. Once I got into the “eBay Rhythm” it was a satisfying experience. Now I’m constructing lists of preparation tasks to get ready for my month at Odell Lake. Mary and I stayed in …

I have been keeping an active “TREADMILL” schedule. As June (Odell Lake trip) approaches, I’ve decided to trim back my eBaying by 1/3. I’m going to be selling 17 items each week rather than the current 26. I am eliminating my Wednesday auction, focusing solely on Sunday. I’ll have one item closing every 15 minutes …
I think not, but I’m still going through the items that never made it to the jewelry cases, most of which still had pieces of information to identify them. I am indeed a fortunate person. I can’t claim to not have moments of profound sadness. Greta seems to sense these moments and does her best …
I’ll be the first to admit, that I constantly need to remind myself of the healing powers of the title of this BLOG entry. Enough said. My past week hasn’t been without its trials. How you deal with them is what matters. That is where the title of this BLOG post becomes important. It is …

My life often seems like I’m multitasking and staying in the same place. That’s when it is time to sit and ponder where you started and more importantly…where you are. I am sitting in a house that is slowly becoming comfortable, albeit, too large, but none the less comfortable. Part of the comfort comes with …
Each day that passes is filled with tasks, most working toward the common goal of cleaning the house. Each day sees the horizon shift, in a mostly more optimistic way. For that I am grateful. The power of gratitude, which I learned about in Wings Seminars. Thank you Mary for suggesting the helpfulness of Wings …

I could say, “My, how time flies, when you are: (a) having fun (b) too busy (c) making money: (d) all of the above And the answer is D:ALL OF THE ABOVE. My foray into eBay land, which started with the help of Mary’s dear friend, Debbie Hamilton, and an online class from http://lynda.com has …

Well, another day another dollar! I just completed my second week of selling 18 items of my late wife’s large collection of QVC jewelry. I started by selling nine auction items each week, between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM on Sunday night. The best time for sales on eBay is from 1700 to 2100. I …
