Well, in the traffic jam I was able to take this (horrible)
picture by sticking my phone out of the window and shoot this image of the
traffic jam, so symbolic of all the crap and toxicity that can jam up a person's
mind. To me this was particularly
important, after a weekend of murders, such as the guy in Santa Barbara, California who had
his mind poisoned by his inability to attract women. As a father of a daughter and a husband I am
very disturbed about the increased violence against women, but also of any
other hate crime.
I am a trainer with the State of Virginia. I travel throughout the state to teach Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management. I try to take the back roads and I like taking photographs. I am a naturalist, trained in biology and ecology with a very deep rooted love for nature. In this blog I like to share my photography hobby, other hobbies of mine, including my passion for sailing, biking, hiking and nature. I will also share my philosophical outlook on life and some of experience.

Stress free in Northern Virginia (5/27/2014)
This week I am in northern Virginia or what they call NOVA. The trip up north was interesting as always. The roads were crowded, and of course there was
an accident on I-95. So here I was sitting
in a backup thinking about the radio show I heard this morning. In an interview with Dr. Amit Sood about living
without stress he spoke about being in a traffic jam and thinking of people you
are thankful of, for being in your life.
I really think that would help a lot; why even bother yourself with people
who are potentially toxic to you? At work
you already have to deal with people you cannot choose, so in your private life,
concentrate on those people who contribute to your well being; be thankful for
them and concentrate on what it is about them that makes you happy. Quit obsessing about those people that bother
you. Life is too short!
