The Plan

Posted on July 16, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do in the next several years and I know I don’t want to be stationary anymore and I don’t want to live in a place that has miserably hot summers as I do now. I’m not currently in a position where I can leave for…

Alaska Is Calling

Posted on June 18, 2022 by jwalters

For the last decade or so I’ve wanted to go to Alaska. My dad was stationed there when he was in the Air Force and talked about it all the time. I’d always wanted to see it but it wasn’t that high on my list. That changed when I saw the PBS documentary about Dick…

Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness

Posted on April 27, 2022April 26, 2022 by jwalters

Yea, I know that’s not the proper spelling for the Smashing Pumpkins album, and that’s on purpose. For the last few months or so, I’ve been extremely depressed. It’s one of the worst bouts of depression I’ve dealt with in recent memory. Well, since 2017-ish anyway. Unlike my last terrible bout, I have been able…

Clarity From Knowledge and Experience

Posted on February 16, 2022January 20, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve struggled with my eating habits all my life. I like junk food and fast food and cookies and cakes etc. What I’ve come to realize is there’s nothing wrong with any of those foods in moderation but the way I was eating them was an everyday, sometimes every meal occurrence. That is not good….

Writing For No One, Writing For Me

Posted on February 13, 2022January 17, 2022 by jwalters

It’s not at all surprising but today I enabled site stats using JetPack[1]https://jetpack.com/ and saw that my site has had zero visitors. As I mentioned I’m not at all surprised by this since I’ve told no one about it. In the past, I’ve wanted to have a successful blog with a community and, to be…

Finding My Place In The World

Posted on February 1, 2022January 31, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve struggled with the direction of my entire life. I spent some time in the military and decided to do the full 20 and retire. Then I allowed others’ opinions to become my own and got out after eight years. I’ve had no issues staying at jobs for years at a time, but a lot…

On Waking Up Early

Posted on January 23, 2022January 11, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve recently changed up my morning routine which used to include setting my alarm for 0515 and then hitting snooze for at least an hour. This was much improved over my previous routine which was waking up at the very last minute and then rushing to get the dog walked, exercise done, showered, breakfast all…

Stoicism and Me

Posted on January 10, 2022January 9, 2022 by jwalters

I discovered Stoicism about 4 years ago. It wasn’t much more to me than a few quotes that I thought would show that I was a “deep thinker”. I wasn’t. That changed in 2020/2021 with the phrase “Memento Mori” or “Remember you must die”. Throughout my life, I’ve been healthy so death never registered. I…
