Celebrate More Often

September 29, 2014 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Find a way to celebrate more often.

CandlesYes, sometimes life can be dull. Yes, it can be dreary. Periodically, it is even painful.

However, that’s probably not the majority of time.

So, when things aren’t bad – even if life isn’t a “party” – find a way to celebrate what’s going well.

You Just Never Know…

August 17, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus

Early morning routine: Jack, my dog, and I are taking our walk. His leash is in my hand, my headphones are clamped over my ears; I am absorbed in the back-and-forth of my favorite podcast. Jack and I; just doin’ our thing.

The neighborhood is residential; no major thoroughfares, so I’m quite cognizant of the large diesel truck that rattles up next to us and slows down. Matching my pace, the driver waves at me. I assume he’s just being friendly so I return the action, figuring he knows me from my decades of living in a smaller community.

He gestures again, this time I recognize he’s motioning me to come over. Pulling Jack’s leash in tight, we walk on to the street and approach the open passenger window.

The white truck’s interior is clean, uncluttered, and modern, with a flat screen in the center of the dashboard. As for its only passenger, he appears to be in his forties, healthy, short-cropped hair, and brandishing a smile as big as the vehicle and as warm as its motor.

Leaning toward me across the center console, he opens, “You probably don’t remember me…”

He’s correct.

“…About 25 years ago, I applied for a job working for you. You didn’t hire me.”

“I’m sorry.” A slight rumbling of anxiety bubbles in my belly. Is this some form of latent workplace revenge?

A Bit of Humor…

March 17, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

I met Michael Podolinksy, CSP through the internet. He wrote an article for an issue of my Two Words magazine which I really loved. I now get his newsletter. In the last mailing, he had a piece entitled Precious Little which reminds us to put things in perspective. As part of that, he had these humorous thoughts I wanted to share. We could all use a laugh about now. Enjoy.

  • An optimist is someone who falls off tall building and halfway down says, ‘So far so good!’
  • If you can’t see the bright side of life, polish the dull side.
  • We know the speed of light but what is the speed of dark?
  • When I die, I’m leaving my body to science fiction. (Steven Wright)
  • If your parents never had children, chances are you won’t either.
  • A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
  • When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
  • Don’t judge a book by its movie.
  • Why do people say “With all due respect” when they’re about to show no respect at all?
  • Only the wise and foolish never change
  • The law of heredity is that all undesirable traits come from the other parent.
  • If you wish to live wisely, ignore sayings including this one.
