Happy Father’s Day!

I am grateful that I have had the benefit of strong fatherly influences in my life, however none of them have been of a traditional nature. Neither my natural father, nor step-father, are men of character who I choose to associate with. Rather both of them served primarily as examples of men who are unworthy of the title of father, and not only because they failed to live up to the expectations of a young man who was raised in the era of Leave It To Beaver re-runs on television. Thus over the years when I have required fatherly advice, I have sought the counsel of other men in the community who I have respected and admired. Continue reading →

What’s the best grey hair coloring for men?

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Todd Gray

So I’m standing in front of the mirror shaving this morning when I happen to notice a rather distinct patch of grey hair at the base of my short sideburns. Surprisingly my first thought was not “What’s the best grey hair coloring for men?” as it would have been a few years ago… no, my first thought was “Hey that looks kind of distinguished!” Continue reading →

The Easter Bunny made me do it! A lesson in personal responsibility.

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Todd Gray

It seems like nobody wants to accept personal responsibility for their own actions any more, perhaps they never did. But in the spirit of not taking personal responsibility for my own actions, I’m blaming the Easter Bunny for all of the poor dietary choices which I made yesterday and for the way that my body is feeling this morning. I feel like crap and somebody is going to have to pay the price… probably me, because my dog chased off the Easter Bunny and that little rascal is nowhere to be found. Continue reading →

What do the Easter Bunny, Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler have in common?

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Todd Gray

Besides being the subject of today’s blog post, they all exist and command powerful recognition throughout society and time simply because people believe in them. Whether you choose to believe in Jesus Christ, the Easter Bunny or Adolf Hitler is not the point of this blog post, so let’s not get into a philosophical debate about these three entities. I am merely using these three examples of influential figures, or figurines if you prefer, to demonstrate the power of belief. Continue reading →

Look at the Bright Side

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Todd Gray

On February 1st of 2004, I lost a daughter to a rare bone marrow disease known as Fanconi’s (aplastic) Anemia. She died at home, surrounded by her loving family, as we pushed her over the edge with one morphine cocktail after another to ease her transition into the afterlife. At the time, it was one of the most difficult things I had ever had to experience. Fifteen months later to the day, my wife killed herself as a result, the difference in how we coped with Niki’s death and ultimately whether we survived it, came down to a difference of perspective.

What are you Grateful for today?

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Todd Gray

What are you grateful for today? I ask this of almost every person who I meet with who claims to suffer from depression, the most common response is either a blank stare or simply “Nothing, I have nothing to be grateful for”. Let’s try again, look at the picture to the left and tell me, what could you be grateful for if you wanted to be grateful for something? Continue reading →

“My Life My Rules”

Posted on February 20, 2013 by Todd Gray

What rules govern your enjoyment of life? Have you ever stopped to actually think about it? Do the rules which you live by make sense? Or are they merely antiquated ideas which were stuffed into your head during childhood with the best of intentions? Continue reading →

Bring it Weather Monkey’s I’ll Enjoy the Show!

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Todd Gray

Good morning friends! It’s a beautiful rainy day here in Oregon, but it’s bright and shiny within the interpretation created by my mind because I focus on the beauty of the contrast crated by the clouds, the beauty of the clouds themselves, the depth of color, the clean scent created by the rain, the cool breeze which tickles my senses. What we choose to focus upon defines the nature of our experience, which in turn either reinforces an old belief structure or serves to plant the seed from which a new belief structure might grow.

It is always darkest before the dawn, learn how to control your emotional state.

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Todd Gray

Things people say in an effort to comfort us when we are stressed or feeling down, such as “It is always darkest before the dawn” are intended to make us feel better… to make us “see the light” and realize that whatever darkness we are experiencing at the moment “that this too shall pass” but more often than not, these well intended catch phrases have the unintended effect of causing us to spiral further down the rabbit hole of our self-imposed misery.
