Why I Went Ghost

Monday, February 23, 2026

Good morning, The Wonder...fell Way.

March's 'in like a lion' is about a week early. Snow, wind, blizzard-like environment for some of the Eastern United States.

Winter waves hello to Spring with post game party highlight reels.

Hope your weather is well... at least worth a poetic description or two.

Every morning for about a year and a half, I wrote down the sunrise at sunrise.

It's a back to basics exercise... a modern day Walden, of sorts.

Why I went Ghost... to remember with all this social media madness, all this distorted News, what living deliberately is all about.

Waking up to do the work you love is the best reason to wake up at all.

No alarm clock needed.

Sounds ideal to most, but after fighting for remission and winning, then beating Death and learning to walk again, I believe ideal sounds fair to me.

Do you give yourself enough credit?

You should; you've been through a lot.

There's this helpful habit called shaking it off I picked up a longtime ago.

The only issue with using it often is not giving yourself enough recognition for your accomplishments.

So I'm doing that this morning.

• Chronic auto-immune illness that took over a decade and a half of a healthy adult-life from me: Beat into remission. Check.
• SUV at over fifty mph that broke a double yellow and landed in my lap in my driver's seat flat-lining me dead, snapping my left leg in two, and damaging multiple nerves on my left-side: All healed and walking again. Check.
• Dream to share words of hope to help the World and my Country as often as I can that I've had for decades: O/ Check.

Give yourself some credit and make a wonderful day.
