Stress it’s not just soldiers—it’s first responders, survivors, men who’ve been laid off, divorced, lost loved ones, or even dealt with years of abuse, violence, or stress.

B is riding solo today, while Steve is out saving NYC from stranded passangers....no he's actually at work. B is sharing his thoughts on this special day. Steve and Brian will be back.

It's the last of my solo podcast. I am sliding over and making room for a good brother of mine Steve D! as the new cohost! It's been a short, but trying journey, thanks for sticking with me, stay tuned there is lots more to come!

Marcus Aurelius begins the day by acknowledging that he will encounter difficult people—those who are "busybody, ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial." He frames this not as a cause for anger or frustration but as a natural occurrence stemming from ignorance of good and evil. 

I was not going to record today, but I read something that I really wanted to get across to all of you. It's about resolutions.

Book 1 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a reflection on gratitude and the virtues of those who influenced the emperor. In this book, Marcus credits his mentors, family members, and other figures for shaping his character and values. He outlines lessons learned from each, emphasizing traits like integrity, self-discipline, justice, humility, and a focus on the common good.

It's been a crazy year folks! But I am still here alive and kickin'!! I have got a lot of changes in the works for you this year with Grey and Grounded. Journey with me as I relate one of my favorite books Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and relate it to some of my everyday trials and tribulations. I plan on having some really great one on ones' with some great people. I know I know, I said that last year, but THIS year it will happen. We got a new website with show notes and everything! I have much much more! Thanks for sticking around. LET'S GO!!!.

There’s something profoundly serene about standing on the lush greens of a golf course, feeling the breeze gently rustling through the trees, and hearing the satisfying click of a well-struck ball, not mine but with those playing around me... For many of us, the game of golf is less about mastering the sport and more about savoring the experience, somewhat like a fine cigar, or a good bourbon. Sure, I might not be the next Tiger Woods, or Steve Stricker, but, hey! I wouldn’t trade the little time I have on the course for anything.

Expect more of yourself, in order to be tolerate of others. In everyday dealings with others, your values should be your guide. #mindfulness #personalgrowth #greyngrounded #mesagetomysons #alwayslearning

The saying "time heals all wounds" may or may not be true, but time does give us a chance to look at a particular situation in a diffferent "light" as we grow we can then look at it as a different person, and in that, we can heal, learn, and grow. #greyngrounded #mindfullnes #mesagetomysons #lifelessons

The worse thing you can do is to stoop down to the level of those who wish you ill will, and harm. Eagles only fly down when they have to take out their prey.#greyngrounded #amorfati #mesagetomysons #mindfulness #personalgrowth #mindfullnes
