They’re becoming almost routine around here. The lights went out about 10:30 p.m. and weren’t back on when I left the house at about a quarter to 10 the next morning. Then I had to stop and help some other volunteers ... http://courseofayear.com/journal/journal/in-the-dark-again/ There has been a lot of opportunity to practice this one today. Nothing noticeably big but plenty of evidence that all the little upsets gnaw at me. Dreamweaver, the program that I do most of my production work in decided to get strange and unpredictable. After an hour of ... http://courseofayear.com/journal/journal/i-am-never-upset-for-the-reason-i-think/ So tired. Windy last night, again.

Start with ... http://courseofayear.com/journal/musings/reminiscing/ It’s been a few years since I started this project to get ACIM online. I guess I never actually go going because I wasn’t ready to go through the lessons again. The first lesson feels both familiar and new. I had an anticipation that I would somehow feel like a know-it-all ... http://courseofayear.com/journal/journal/back-to-the-course/ Do I join the millions of other people who make resolutions that they won't keep? It seems futile and silly look at that way. Then again, it doesn't hurt to take a time of reflection to examine those places in our lives that cry for more attention. Currently K and I ... http://courseofayear.com/journal/journal/resolutins-and-tribal-mind/ I've been wanting to add an audio version of the Course to the site but have been unable to persuade the people I know with "good" voices to volunteer the time needed for the project. So I decided to do it myself. As you will quickly notice, I do not have ... http://courseofayear.com/journal/site-related/adding-podcasts/ Printing "Hello World!" is the standard first program that programmers write when learning a new programming language. It seems a good place to start with a new journal, and a good place to start the lessons from A Course in Miracles once again.
