The Little Things By Jason Marshall I have long considered myself an overthinker. Don’t ask me why. Seriously. Don’t. You’ll send me spiralling me into an afternoon of analysis paralysis. With overthinkers, there are no easy answers for seemingly simple questions. Is it an age thing? Good question. Let me analyze it. Process it...

The Little Things By Jason Marshall It never ceases to amaze me how life can change in an instant. There are no guarantees. No agreed-upon timelines. Just tears. Laughs. And the moments in between. Life is fragile. It’s fleeting. And usually it takes someone losing theirs for you to truly appreciate your own. The ironic part is...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall Here I sit at the cottage on a cool September morning, coffee in hand, staring out the window at the lake below. I’m the only one awake on a day designed for sleeping in. There’s an earthy smell as rain pelts the pine needles. The drops are tap-tap-tapping on the tin roof as the waves...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall It’s just another day. At least it has been for the past 35 years. The last time I bought a Father’s Day card, Ronald Reagan was in the White House and Crocodile Dundee was showing the world what a real knife should look like.

If it wasn’t, I’d be sharing my thoughts with you through drawings on a cave wall. The pictures would show you my fascination for how technology has transformed the way we behave and function. Our quality of life has been enhanced on so many levels that it’s mind boggling. Healthcare innovations. The way the world communicates...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall Boys play hockey on a frozen lake on a winter sunny daySome things in life defy explanation. The worst of these mysteries are also stressors. Look at winter. On the calendar it’s three months long. Same as spring. Fall. And summer. So why is there a dreadful feeling it will never end? The...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall It’s funny how a person’s definition of “old” changes with time. When you’re 10, high school kids are old. And your teacher is ancient, even though she’s in her late 20s. In fact, there’s no real discernible difference between anyone from 30 to 100. To a kid, they’re all fossils. Then one day...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall Followers. Shares. Likes. Views. Friends. Sadly, people gauge their self-worth and value on these social media buzz words. How many Twitter followers do you have? Instagram shares? How about views on YouTube? Likes on TikTok? Tell me how many Facebook friends you have. Why should it matter...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall Each time we add a candle to a birthday cake, it doesn’t make us smarter. It only guarantees light-headedness from trying to blow them all out at once. Life experience comes with age. That translates to knowledge. You almost pass out from blowing out candles this year. So, next year you buy...
