One woman’s “mean”…
Trish and I have a decades long debate about whether my antics are mean or playful. Apparently it’s a matter of perspective. One woman’s mean is another man’s playful.
When I playfully share my cold hands or splash her with cold water at the lake, Trish will (half-seriously) accuse me of being mean. If she seeks revenge, it doesn’t work because I love cold hands and find cold water refreshing.
If you ask me, being playful or mean is a state of mind. If my intent is to be playful, how could it be mean?
When does your playfulness get you into trouble?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.

The joy of stillness
Trish, Roli and I did a hike behind Lake Chocorua today. It was cold, but the sun was shining and we had the trails to ourselves. Roli did his best to sniff out all of the deer tracks. Trish and I enjoyed the sun, trees and sounds of nature. As much as we are social...
Unhelpful truth
Honesty is one of my core values. Recently I was reminded that something can be true and unhelpful. Sometimes silence or curiosity is better than the truth. Trish was watching a training video and the presenter mentioned something about a study that showed lifestyle...
