Searching Found Love in Two Empty Hearts
I am searching for a title, which is always the most challenging thing to decide when writing a new story.
I already have the story in my tiny brain, and it’s about how my search found love in two empty hearts, but I could not think of a suitable title.
The search began after downloading photos of my recently adopted, rescued dog.
Although his original name is unknown, the Animal Resource…

Know How to Start & Why to Never Give Up!
As a young boy, I learned how to start chasing a dream and why to never give up trying despite the odds against me. I credit attending the ‘School of Hard Knocks.’
I credit my humble upbringing with my love of music, acting, and writing for any successes I achieve in life.
There’s something about music and how some music is dateless.
I used to think that the music my parents listened to was…

When It's Okay To Surrender A Lifelong Dream
During the past several months, I have debated with an aging mind and ailing heart to determine when it’s okay to surrender a lifelong dream.
However, it does not appear that I can write a fairy tale ending to one of my longest-held beliefs: Never Give Up!
Little Danny struggled to overcome the obstacles and challenges of attaining dreams and goals in life, and he often gazed into the darkness…

This Reunion Was The Best Cure For My Ailing Heart
Although I’ve known Norman Colon for five or six years, we have only seen each other in person on two or three occasions. However, this reunion in Bellingham, Washington, on Friday, March 1, 2024, was the best cure for my ailing heart.
Our reunion was to take place at 9:00 AM at the Starbucks near the Costco store, and I assumed it was the one in the Fred Meyer grocery store in the plaza on…

Today's Important Message Came From An Old Friend
Although today’s important message came from an old friend, I initially wanted to keep it private from you because I have always refused to write about politics or religion.
However, I am making a significant departure because of recent world events and how they affected the core of who I am as a human.
Regular readers of my posts are familiar with my oft-stated opinion: “The opposite of love…

Here's My New Love After Just One Look!
After each of my several previous love affairs ended, it caused a broken heart that I thought would never heal, but in time, it did.
That is one of the lessons I learned early in life – you cannot control fate by trying to fall in love – if it was meant to be – it will happen.
Our mind usually tries to decide matters of the heart, but only our souls can make it happen at first look – if it was…

Why I Hope To Meet and Adopt A Dog
I just received an email alert from the animal shelter about a one-year-old rescued dog I want to adopt.
And I wanted to explain why I believe this particular dog and I were made for each other.
Here’s a clue: His name is Danny!
However, I won’t display his photo because it might jinx my chances.
Yes, Spanky, I’m a little bit superstitious.
And here is what the lady wrote about Danny:

Here's Why It Was A Scary Halloween
Not only is this a scary Halloween story – it happened two days ago, and it is true!
Let me explain.
I recently moved into my new digs on September 1st, and it is the first time in decades that I have lived in an apartment building, and I am still trying to get oriented.
Several days ago, I asked the property manager how Halloween would be handled. I assumed there would be a setup of goodies…

Can Love Cure A Broken Heart?
If you’re wondering if love can cure a broken heart, you’re probably also uttering, “Duh, isn’t love what causes a broken heart, Danny?”
Yes, but some broken hearts are not caused by romance gone astray.
Some broken hearts require a medical cure.
Let me explain.
I suffer from medical problems with my heart and have written about it in a story.
My broken heart and low blood pressure have…

Some Things Are Best When Forgotten
It has taken me a lifetime to gather stuff, but I recently decided that some things are best when forgotten – regardless of how valuable they seemed when I saved them.
Especially memories.
Not all of them, though, only those burdening my heart and soul.
However, the exceptions to my list are limited to memories of loved ones – family, friends, and pets.
But Danny, you had often stated that…

Why An Underdog Beat The Odd
Although I never bet on sports, I know why an underdog can sometimes beat the odds because I have often been an underdog myself.
However, I have bet on several games between the 49ers and the Seahawks (my favorite team), but that was with Randy, my youngest brother. But we never bet money on the games – just bragging rights.
And as everyone knows, bragging rights are sometimes more valuable…

I Read This Letter From My Best Friend Peter
Today, I finally read this unopened letter from my best friend Peter Hrehoruk, which I received in 1975.
At the time, I had just moved back to Ontario from Vancouver and had started a new job.
Initially, I moved to Milton, Ontario, because my hometown in Oshawa had too many painful memories of my divorce and the loss of temporary custody of Robin, my two-year-old daughter.
My first wife had…

I Hope My Birthday Wish Comes True!
Tomorrow is my birthday and I hope my birthday wish comes true as I blow out the 74 candles on an imaginary cake. However, my birthday wish is exactly the same as my New Year’s resolution have been every year since I was diagnosed with stage three tongue/throat cancer in June 2009. I was only given a forty percent chance of survival.
If you are a regular reader of my stories/blog posts – you…

Why This Story Broke My Heart To Write
The reason this story broke my heart to write was because it is about my dog, Holly Golightly’s passing in September 2023.
But today is New Year’s Eve and I wanted to write a tribute to Holly but I cannot get my heart to stop crying – and a broken heart is impossible to describe in words.
It is also impossible to include all of the photos and videos I have kept from the day I adopted her when…

Why Santa Claus Arrived Early This Year
A few weeks ago, I wrote a story about why I loved living in my apartment in White Rock, and now I have added a new reason for loving where I live.
My regular readers know that I am a close friend of Santa Claus and got his permission to represent him as Santa Danny.
And here is how and when I found the spirit of Christmas again in 2012.
Several Lower Mainland BC newspapers published the…

Why I Love Living In My Apartment
There are reasons why many, if not most, Baby Boomers prefer to remain in their house after they reach this stage in their lives, but I no longer share those reasons or concerns.
We sold our house after getting separated a few years ago, and I did not see any value in buying a home or condo because I did not have anyone to leave it to when I passed.
And as the saying goes, “You can’t take it…
