Most marketing promises you access to some "secret," but what if there IS no secret??

Whenever I need to get away from screens, I often find yardwork to be the most cathartic!

Is it just me, or or there more and more seriously crazy people in the world, every year?

When did newscasters and YouTubers become so smug in their presentations?

I can't remember what I did today... but I will in a few weeks

I cannot fathom how something as basic as yardwork has become so expensive!

Spent some time working on one of my old (non Hive) blogs!

Sometimes life is an awful lot like maintaining a garden!

What does "value" even mean? And is there ANY logic and sense to how value is arrived at?

Happy 250th Independence Day!

Sometimes I wonder whether the "Good Old Days" were more wishful thinking than tangible reality.

How are our beliefs and perceptions shaped... and to what degree do they really "represent" our truth?

Ah, "success!" Seems to be the thing towards which we are driven. Or is it actually "herded," for marketing purposes?

I originally came to Hive — almost 10 years ago — because it was an interesting community blogging. It still is...

There seems to be a gaping — and growing — chasm between "the" economy, and individual people's finances.

So many official forms and paperwork filings to get even something simple!

Today is the Summer Solstice, which marks the longest day of the year... and the beginning of summer!

Part of our recent trip included visiting some of the world's largest trees.

I have never been much of a fan of hot weather and hot climates!
