About Me — Jim Mura

I paint words on an obscure cave wall. For me, only me. Glance at the scrawlings… if you choose — Really, I only purposefully write for me. I am not driven to build readers or followers. I do have a lightly viewed blog. It began as my 200 day countdown to quitting my job, selling our house, giving away our possessions and moving to the beach. And we did it……

Lake Michigan Ice

Today and four years ago — Four season fun on the shores of Lake Michigan! Ice mountains, volcanos, the power and fury of winter! The lake freezing mostly over. Well, not this year. This year, Lake Michigan is only 7% ice covered. Usually it is 40% or more. Occasionally, every Great Lake has frozen completely over……

Freedom Fighter

Not the R Word — The server smiled and asked, “What do you do?” My answer these days is, “I am a freedom fighter.” She tried again, “I mean… where do you work?” She politely chuckled when I told her the world is my domain now. And that in my last battle, I defeated the…

By War in Ukraine — My Medium People

They should be yours too! — I sit safe on my beach in the US. Every day, I look for quality updates on the war and life in Ukraine. You could say I am obsessed. Anyone can let their intelligence flow on Medium. Many really, really should not do so. I have sifted thru the Russian…

My Covid Booster

But, peace and love if you don’t… — I’m as pro-vaccine as you can get. Flu shot every year. Shingles. Every other recommended vaccine. I was first in line to get the Pfiser Covid vaccine shot. And got the second shot the very first day I was eligible. A little fever, some muscle aches… but otherwise no side…

Very nice read.

Very nice read. However, it depends on how you are defining happiness. It might be helpful to look at as eudaimonic and/or hedonic. I have achieved the first after completely changing my life four years ago. Is my happiness forever? Perhaps not, but I have been happy every single day for those four years. It is achievable, and for most people attainable. It can be a choice!

When You Build That House

Plant your trees Yes, this is an analogy post. But rooted (couldn’t help it) in my real life. It is incredible to me that so many people fail to plant their trees in life. Both real… and the other kind. We finally moved into our new home two months ago. What’s the first…
