Memory

Memory Lane

Habili-blog 10/29/18 “Memory Lane” by Jared Mayes   When the average person “goes down memory lane” it’s made up of memories of riding a bike for the first time, that first kiss from your pre-teen romance, or that road trip with your high school buddies.

Procrastination

Procrastination is the thief of time

Habili-blog 10/22/18 “Procrastination is the thief of time” by Jared Mayes   When I was a child I created a habit.

Independence

On my own

Habili-blog 9/17/18 “On My Own” by Jared Mayes   Independence vs. Dependence I have spent the greater portion of my life trying to attest to my misguided independence. It’s the age-old mentality that I need to be treated like the man that I am. Unfortunately, this all started at about 14 when I clearly was not an adult, and obviously …

Hypochondria

All of the above

Habili-blog 9/7/18 “All of the above” by Jared Mayes     Hypochondria and Addiction Think back to when you were a child. I know for some of you that means dusting off the history books. Although my life’s encyclopedia might be a tad shorter, I’m willing to bet we all remember a time where we stubbed our toe. Most of …
