I'm Looking Ahead!

I started out writing a "poor, poor Cliff" post. I deleted it. I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself. I'm sure most of you are tired of it too.

Things at the WIXYranch have pretty much hit rock bottom. So unless someone is down here with a jackhammer, all I can say is the only direction I can go is up.

Today is Easter, a day that is a celebration of newness of life. Opening day is next week. Warm weather will be here soon and I can ride my bicycle soon. I need to, and I will, drop some pounds. I will also write about it.

You can also look for some springtime in Wayne County, Ohio photos here.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Are you all with me?

cliff--when i find myself throwing a pity party, GOD The Father reminds me of the cousel Paul gave the church in Phillipi:
"4Always be full of joy in THe LORD, I say again, rejoice!!
5Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember The LORD is coming soon.
6Don't worry about anything: instead pray about everything; tell GOD your needs, and don't forget to thank HIM for His answers.
7If you do this, you will experience GOD's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. HIS peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in CHRIST JESUS.
8And now brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing:
Fix your thoughts an what is true and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others.THink about all you can praise GOD for and be glad about.
9Keep putting into practice all you have learned from me and saw me doing, and THE GOD of Peace will be with you." Phil4:4-9LB

don't get discouraged, GOD is right there with you and your family. so is your church family as well as your blogging extended family.

take comfort that your brother is now risen and living with CHRIST in Heaven.

remember, that one day, we too will also arise to meet HIM.

rejoice that JESUS AROSE so that we can live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Easter--CHRIST IS RISEN!!!!

YES!

But I don't think of what you share as "pity party" .. as some of what you share reminds me how blessed I am that I am not alone.

But OK, let's party! Because I am way past being sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
