I took a nice jog outside yesterday without headphones and noticed the amount of birds that are chirping. Everyday there are more and more birds and it helps affirm that Spring is here and we won't have to deal with Winter weather for 6 months! Great time of the year and certainly helps boost the mood.

Early in my industrial sales career, I became very familiar with fluorinated polymers, specifically PFA and PTFE. I gravitated toward building custom sub-assemblies using...

This weekend I shopped at a local grocery store. It is nice to know that while I complete needed tasks, I am supporting people in my community!

Picked a few challenges to commit to!

So far so good! 30 minutes of meditation each day in April. Variations include breathing, walking and visualization meditations. Points if you can guess where I was in the first week of the month - some great, wide-open spaces to meditate in!
