    How you ever wondered why we tend to align ourselves with people who have the same set of values, experiences, or knowledge? I believe it’s because there is comfort in commonality. Most of the comments I receive from readers of my blog have something to do with how that person relates to something I’ve written.…

    Let’s start this morning with a joke. A man was stranded in the desert, dying of thirst. He stumbled upon a small stand run by an old merchant. “Water… I need water…” the man gasped. “Sorry,” the merchant said as he shook his head, “I only sell ties.” “Are you kidding me?” the man groaned…

    Those were the words my friend Wayne chose to use to close his recent comment on one of my blogs. I found those words profound and I liked them so much, I asked him if I could use them. Wayne had written to thank me for writing my blogs. He said, “You get me. Myasthenia…

    Many of you know of my journey, how I went years with the symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis, but not the diagnosis. Some of it was my choosing as I turned down additional testing for MG years ago. Back then there was an issue with insurance companies where they could elect not to insure you if…

    We haven’t had a joke in a while, so here’s one of my favorites: A family who lived in the backwoods was making their very first trip to the big city. Their grandfather had been taken to the hospital and they wanted to go visit him. They had never been to the city or a…

  • Rain Dancers

    There’s an old tradition among American Indian tribes about how they achieve success in bringing rain through their rain dances. That tradition is they don’t stop dancing until it starts raining. One could debate whether rain dances truly work to make rain occur, but if you never stop dancing until it starts raining, then you…

  • To Sleep, Perchance To Dream

    Greg Olsen

    in

    I’ve had a tough time sleeping lately. Part of it is because of this lingering cough that I’ve had since Christmas. The other part is me being me. I’ve never been a sound sleeper. I wish I was one of those people who falls asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow, but I…
